Yup, thats right MK fans seems like a new MK moive is going to be made with a release date of 2010. So far what I've been able to dig up is only "

Plot Details

There are currently five possible storylines for the film (note that any of these storyline could be false):

• According to a rumor site, it stated that Devastation will partially reboot the film series, alluding the first film while completely disregarding Annihilation.[2]

• Christopher Lambert, who portrayed Lord Raiden in the first film, claims that, while the script has already been written, it will be scrapped and re-written upon the release of the latest Mortal Kombat game, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.[3]

• On the Mortal Kombat official website, there was a hidden plot revealed back in 2005:

It seems that since the halt of Shao Kahn's invasion, stopping the merger between realms, Earth Realm's balance with the universe has been restored. But it is unclear the future of the tournament thus far. For there are many enemies still burning with hatred, possessing an unquenchable thirst for revenge. And since Kahn's invasion was not prophesized by the Elder Gods, the future of the tournament is unclear. For now our planet remains a precious gateway between realms, inhabited not by gods or sorcerers, but only by humans. Will Earth Realm be challenged again, or taken? And by whom? Sorcerers, corrupt ninja clans, or powerful being from a distant realm? One thing is certain, now that Rayden is an Elder God, it is up to me to watch over Earth Realm and lead our fighters against whomever they may face, in Mortal Kombat. Fujin - God of Wind, Protector of Earth Realm[4]

• Originally Robin Shou, who played Liu Kang in both Mortal Kombat films, said that he will be in Devastation but not as Liu Kang but as The Great Kung Lao. In June of 2006, he reported that he would like to play the character more but the movie will instead have Sub-Zero as the main hero, and that the movie supposedly takes place before Liu Kang's time.[5]

• The latest rumors claims that the film either be a start-from-scratch film, rebooting the whole franchise or a contiuation of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, or a remake of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Time will only tell![

Filming on the third film began on May 2005[8] and took place in Louisiana. The film was supposed to be released on early 2006, but due to Hurricane Katrina, Casamassa said that it had "set us back a few months" and filming was delayed, so they were able to shoot only a few scenes. Consequently, the film has been in development hell for a number of years.

I hope so

This is really old news. This movie has been in production for a while, yet to date, nothing has come of it. I'll be surprised if it gets finished to be honest. The second, I've heard was a letdown on a large scale, which doesn't hold up much hope for a third.
