<neo2010> Welcome Mr. Wexler my first question is, why exactly was MKC taken off the air?
<Joshua_We> It wasn't really taken off the air - in the traditional sense of the word - the show did really well, in fact too well. Because the show aired on two different networks, TNT and in Syndication, there were a lot more costs associated with it than originally anticipated - it was a network decision - not ours.

<Kombat18> Josh - why did Australia only get MK:Conquest this year? what took so long?
<Joshua_We> Kombat - I can't answer that for sure - but my guess is probably due to licensing structures of the studios

<clintele> Mr. Wexler, if MKC comes back, will Qali be brought back as Jataaka, Lorianna as Kia and a Kreeyan as Sareena?
<Joshua_We> Clintele - can't answer that one - we're going to have to wait and see for MK FEDERATION

<MKJohn> Josh: Is there ANY chance of MKC coming back on TV? Even re-runs?
<Joshua_We> MKJOHN - can't promise it - but we'd like to get it released on DVD

<lomik> Josh, what is about Kung Lao, Siro and Taja are they alive?
<Joshua_We> lomik - Your guess is as good as mine, but I would have to say........maybe

<Jonin01> ok, will we ever see a final wrap-up of MK Conquests finale?
<Joshua_We> Jonin - perhaps on MK.com - or in the new MK Federation of Martial ARts

<Kombat18> Why was there 2 actresses that played the part of Kitana in "The Essance" and "Shaddow Of A Doubt"?
<Joshua_We> Kombat 18 - Now I remember, just wanted somebody better.

<McDaniel> I personally think MKC episode Vengence was the best episode ever, it was cool to see the bad guys win for once (or so it seemed at the time) if a second season were to commence would all of the former actors be available to come back?
<Joshua_We> McDaniel - yep - and most of them drop by the studio every so often. We're good friends with most of them

<MKJohn> Josh, do you play any of the MK games? If so, what is your favorite and who is your favorite character?
<Joshua_We> MK John - all the time - we have an MK4 machine here in the office - I play two the most though and my favorite is Sub-Zero

<MKJohn> Josh, what is it like to work at Threshold?
<Joshua_We> MK John - Threshold's a blast - come to work, play games, make movies, blow stuff up - what could be better!

<Vladirus> mmm Josh how old are you? :)
<Joshua_We> Vlad - just turned the big 30 on Monday.

<MKJohn> Cool, what are some ways to work for them? Like what are some requirements and such.
<Joshua_We> MKJohn - we look for people that are passionate about what they do - hard working - and don't let anything get in the way of the making a project great

<QuanChi> josh : i read that the second season was canceled for reasons beyond the producer's control, can you tell me what are those reasons ??
<Joshua_We> Quan Chi - already answered it - but essentially, it was a network decision due to costs

<Guest> josh is mk conquest still gonna come on?
<Joshua_We> Guest - Maybe on MK.Com in some continuing adventures

<MKROX013> Josh, who's your favorite out of these: Goro, Kintaro, Sheeva, or Motaro?
<Joshua_We> MKROX - Goro

<Vladirus> Your Biggest Problem with MKC?
<Joshua_We> Vladirus - We can always make it better.

<MKJohn> Josh: Where do you have to live to work at Threshold?
<Joshua_We> MK JOHN - anywhere in the world really

<lomik> Josh , why mortalkombatconquest.com isn't updated more then 1 year?
<Joshua_We> lomik - not our site - it was the studios

<mkmaster> is mkc will be soon on video?
<Joshua_We> mkmaster - trying to get it there and on DVD soon

<NosajMKD> My question is for the 3rd film with the movie be released with New Line or who will it be with and this time will Threshold have control over how the movie goes unlike the New Line MKA matter?
<Joshua_We> Nosaj - we have gotten all the rights back from New Line - Threshold will be in control!

<QuanChi> if mkc goes on video, will it be only for us or also for canada and other countries ?
<Joshua_We> Quan Chi - hopefully the world

<Polo> Josh Will MKC every comes back?
<Joshua_We> Polo - maybe on MK.com - would you be interested if it were on the web in short stories?

<Kahn> Will conquest return
<Joshua_We> Kahn - Not quite as you know it.

<MKJohn> John: Are you excited for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 5? Have you seen the teaser image?
<Joshua_We> MKJOHN - Seen more than that :)

<MKJohn> no way! wanna hook me up? :p
<Joshua_We> MKJOHN - can't do that just yet but MK.COM will have some exclusive stuff soon.

<ScribeJC> Josh, we never met in person, but I was one of the writers on the show: James Cappe. Just had to stop by and see what was up. It's been so long.
<Joshua_We> James - How are you? What are you working on now?

<spyderman> If MKC comes back will it be a continuation of the past episodes of MKC?
<Joshua_We> Spyderman - it will pick up where we left off if we do it online

<Shaddow18> is it possible you all can at least bring Quan Chi back .........lol he was like the awesome villain other then the head of the shadow priest
<Joshua_We> Shaddow - your wish will be granted...

<Siang11> As you may be aware there is a MKC petition going around, will you take it seriously when you receive it or is it a lost cause?
<Joshua_We> Siang - we will take it very seriously and present it to the studios

<Takeda> josh, any truth to the rumor that a pilot for MKFOMA will air on UPN this year?
<Joshua_We> Takeda - nope - but it may be somewhere else :)

<Vladirus> Josh what is mortal kombat for you?
<Joshua_We> Vladirus - great question - for me it's an undying passion to continually produce the most spectacular fantasy martial arts movies and entertainment in the world - it's just a complete blast
<Joshua_We> there's so much to the world of MK now - all deeply rooted in rich mythology and ancient traditions
<Joshua_We> there's a lot of heart and soul to MK, a lot of characters that people love

<Gold-Fire> Is new characters from mk4 going to be in it such as Tanya, Fujin etc???
<Joshua_We> GOLDFIRE - Do you want them to be>

<QuanChi> what id like to see in the mk3 movie is how rayden become a god and also fujin .. plus more battles between the gods and the elder gods something about shinnok maybe
<Joshua_We> Quan Chi - how about battles between the gods and villains??

<neo2010> Josh, there are rumors of more MKC episodes that were planned, but never aired. Could you please clear up the speculation and shead some light on this?
<Joshua_We> Neo - it's true, we have a lot of ideas on how to continue the series and you should keep an eye out for continuing storylines of these characters in new MK entertainment

<spyderman> If MKC came back, will it be a continuation of the MKC past episodes?
<Joshua_We> spyderman - not necessarily - maybe on-line, but for TV we may move ahead - but remeber, some of these characters have been around for centuries

<clintele> Mr. Wexler, If Taja, Siro and Kung Lao were killed by the Extermination squads, if Season 2 comes, will someone like Fujin enter the scene, come to the past exactly when Shao Kahn opened the portal, and help seal the portal, (with the help of a wildcard, like Quan Chi? He has the power to see the future, you know.)
<Joshua_We> Clintele - can't answer that for you because I can't see the future

<QuanChi> josh : thats ok for the gods and villains but gods should fight instead of talking so much !
<Joshua_We> Quan Chi - don't worry, we agree

<Gold-Fire> when will Mortal Kombat Conquest return in what year
<Joshua_We> Goldfire - it won't - as you know it - it will be something new

<Kahn> Will FOMA be on TV in may, josh?
<Joshua_We> Kahn - not that soon - perhaps before the end of the year

<lomik> Josh what does Paolo Montalban doing now?
<Joshua_We> lomik - honestly I have no idea

<McDaniel> Jeff meeks who played Rayden and also Shao-kahn, was a great actor! what made them think to have him play both roles?
<Joshua_We> McDaniel - what are you talking about? Shao Kahn played himself
<Joshua_We> McDaniel - kidding - actually we weren't sure which role to cast him in - we liked him so much in both that it just struck us to try something different - and it worked really well

<Kahn> Wut is your favorite mk character?
<Joshua_We> SUBZERO of course

<McDaniel> mk3 being based on Sub-Zero..heheh....I've heard things....
<Joshua_We> McD - what have you heard?

<Scorpion> Josh if mk federation of martial arts were to come what will the plot be like I'm very curious will it be the same as the web thing where you pick who's gonna win the fights?
<Joshua_We> Scorpion - it will follow a similar plot to the movies and tv shows - you won't actually pick the fights - but there will be plenty of them

<Joshua_We> Do you guys like the MKFOMA game on the site?
<McDaniel> I like Mkfoma, I just can't see the movies do to the format
<Joshua_We> McD - not the movies - for TV

<Shaddow18> Why did quan chi have to die like the way he died in the last epic I think he could have fought a better fight just like tsung and they could have made good teams if they weren't so stubborn
<Joshua_We> Shadow - who said Quan Chi is dead?

<Siang11> Is it likely that we will see Jeff Meek appearing in future MK projects (ie. Raiden/Shao Kahn in FOMA or the main villain in the 3rd movie)?
<Joshua_We> Siang - can't say for sure - but we like him a lot!

<Takeda> josh, you mentioned MKC DVD- any idea when? also I'm a communications major in college, can i get a job at threshold after i graduate?
<Joshua_We> Takeda - no date set but we're pushing - go to threshold-digital.com and submit your resume - put it to my attention

<DreamMast> OK, what kind of drugs were being passed around when MKA was made? And also, can you share them with me? I'd like to make a movie that sucks ass and make money for it too.
<Joshua_We> DreamMaster- no drugs - just a studio that wasn't in sync with the Producers

<Kahn> Will Conquest series 1 be back on TV or tape?
<Joshua_We> KAHN - tape and DVD hopefully

<Takeda> josh, any chance of a MKC soundtrack?
<Joshua_We> Takeda - we can try - maybe we'll put some MP3s on the site

<neo2010> Josh, now for what I'm sure is on everyone's mind, Is another made for TV MK in the works?
<Joshua_We> neo - you bet your #@#

<Orchid> Do you still see or speak with Keith Cook -Reptial MK and Sub MK2
<Joshua_We> Orchid - yep - see him every now an then too

<tim> lol... u must love these chat sessions Josh...
<Joshua_We> tim - no problem - I do though, because I like to know what everybody is thinking -

<Siang11> Will FOMA possibly run the same problem as MKA when it tried to introduce too many characters at the cost of a quality storyline?
<Joshua_We> Siang - hell no (Can I say that)

<McDaniel> so any truth to the sub-zero based movie?
<Joshua_We> McD - don't know what you're talking about

<McDaniel> Any MKC stars playing any characters for MK3?
<Joshua_We> McD - don't know

<Siang11> Good to hear, cause i liked MKA, but was disappointed at the editing/ loss of character stories (ie. Scorpion/ Rain)
<Joshua_We> siang - don't worry, so were we

<McDaniel> what have you seen from mk5?
<Joshua_We> McD - some pretty amazing stuff that I'm unfortunately not at liberty to talk about

<Joshua_We> Orichid - don't know

<McDaniel> ware did ya find the actor for quan chi for MKC? he was awesome
<Joshua_We> McD - I think from Florida if I recall correctly

<Siang11> How is it to work on a saga as excellent as Mortal Kombat?
<Joshua_We> Siang - it's awesome! The hardest part is to try and make each chapter of the story better than the last.

<clintele> Mr. Wexler, will This new Mortal Kombat show, the Federation of Marital Arts comes in, will it be based on Mortal Kombat Annhiliation, MK3, MK2, Trilogy, MK4, MK1, MK: Defenders of the Realm, or MK Conquest?
<Joshua_We> Clintele - it will be a continuing part of the saga, but timewise it will come right after MKA

<McDaniel> bring back jeff meeks as shao-kahn in mk3 if he's in it
<McDaniel> and get chris lambert back as rayden

<Joshua_We> thanks again!

<clintele> If the past is altered, so everyone who died on MKC's season finale lives, what consqeuences will come as a result? Mr. Kasanoff said someone would use a gem that opens portals, when he was interviewed.
<Joshua_We> Clintele - well I don't know about any gem, but what I can say is that you everything is not as it seems

<Joshua_We> Thanks again for coming. Talk to you guys later
