Mortal Kombat Movie Writer Reveals The One Franchise He Wants To Work On Above All Others
Jeremy Slater, the screenwriter behind the Mortal Kombat film franchise, has publicly revealed his top career aspiration: securing a writing opportunity in the Star Wars universe. While actively promoting Mortal Kombat 2, which is now in theaters, Slater is simultaneously completing a second draft for Mortal Kombat 3, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to the video game adaptation.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Slater disclosed that he has already pursued his Star Wars ambitions by taking meetings with Lucasfilm, admitting he “nerded out to an embarrassing degree” during those discussions. Despite his enthusiasm and early outreach to the studio, no deal has been finalized at this time.
Slater’s desire to work on the iconic Star Wars franchise appears to supersede his current substantial involvement with the Mortal Kombat films, positioning a potential Star Wars project as the ultimate goal in his career trajectory.
