Okay here’s a question that I’d like to ask Luke:

 

For any gamer fan one of the most important aspects of game-to-movie adaptation is whether the film is faithful and respectful to its source material (games).

 

Mortal Kombat (1995) film is regarded as one of the best video game adaptations by the gamer fans and non-fans alike; due to its story being fairly faithful to the games and visual elements being adapted well from the movie.

 

How much of a faithful adpatation do you think this movie is to the games (in regards to story and visual elements)? Do you think this film has potential to surpass the Mortal Kombat film??

 

I do feel this movie translates the game to film very cleverly. The game takes place primarily in the ring, the movie mixes story and the fighting in a very cool way. Mortal Kombat is a great movie, I am very proud of what we all did with Tekken, Being a gamer myself and a huge fan of Tekken , I think you are gonna love it!!

Luke why did you change your tattoo? What did the old one stand for or mean to you? What does your new panther tattoo mean to you now?

 

The old tattoo was a ying yang, it was surrounded by thorns to protect my balance. Over the years the ying yang got blurred because it was too small. It didn’t feel like me any more, it was almost as if I had no fear of losing my balance so why have it there.

 

The Panther represents strength, power and the rights of people, the masses or the individual, I put the word Compassion under the Panther so it would be standing on that word. I wanted the symbol of them together because power and strength without compassion is a very different force. Compassion is also without doubt my favorite word and is also my foundation.

 

I wanted to leave the old one under and not have a laser remove it. I wanted it as an evolution rather than a mistake.
