ninja Assassin

___V___ posted the behind the scenes trailer on the trailers thread, but think this deserves a thread of its own.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186367/

I can't find too many details about it, but the main actors actual name is simply "Rain" which is bad ass. No last name or nothing, just rain.
anyone else excited? hopefully they keep it old school and stick with the name it has now.

I'll watch since I'm a sucker for martial arts but I reserve judgement on a Korean pop star turned ninja and Johnny Tran from the Fast and the Furious.

We'll see.

Keep an eye out for this guy - Rain in Ninja Assassin!

Who would have thought Korean pop superstar Rain is capable of carrying an action film?

At first, I had my doubts when I heard he was going to headline Wachowski’s produced Ninja Assassin but a stunt reel has turn up on Youtube that convinced me to reconsider my judgment of him as just another pretty boy.

The stunt reel showcases Rain in top physical shape and training swordplay choreography with the 87Eleven stunt team to prepare him for the fight scenes. I’m impressed on how well Rain is able to move swiftly under a complicated set of steps. This will definitely get the fangirls swooning hysterically.

Synopsis :- Raizo is one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them…and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow, Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi, to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive…and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.

I remember back in the 80s a fair few of the Hong Kong action stars were canton pop singers.

I think Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung were both singers first. I know there were alot more.
