Yes, that Shinobi. Tale follows Joseph Musashi as he travels to America to take on the evil Zeed organization that has kidnapped children from his clan.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I'm in.

Oh and Terry do you have some sort of contract with Comingsoon?

 

[terry78]

If I did they wouldn't be paying me nearly enough. I just go on the home page daily and see what's new.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I'm intrigued.

 

[Logan0327]

hope its a white actor

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Give me a reason to believe this will be good.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Revenge of Shinboi was one of my favorite games back in the day, hope this is good.

 

[Octoberist]

It's not even an active franchise.

 

[Iron_Stark]

I'm in. I'm so in. I remember pumping quarters into this, Space Harrier, Golden Axe and Altered Beast.

I always wished they'd make next-gen remakes.

I hope they do make this base it off the first one.

 

[TheVileOne]

Logan Lerman as Joe Musashi? Not non-Japanese enough? How about Zac Efron?

 

[terry78]

I do love how when they cast someone white in a role with an ethnic name they say the person is actually biracial.

 

[TheVileOne]

"Well...his first name is Joe...so maybe his mother was from New York and named Josephine?"

In all seriousness, I'm surprised this got greenlit before a Ninja Gaiden movie did.

No, no, no, they won't do. This is an obscure Japanese franchise therefore they need a bankable star. Obviously it will be Chris Pratt or bust.

Dylan O'Brien

In all seriousness, I'm surprised this got greenlit before a Ninja Gaiden movie did.

Yep, this.

 

[Octoberist]

Dylan if he wasn't nearly crippled by that accident. Poor dude.

 

[TheVileOne]

Well look, technically it's not greenlit yet. They still have to get a script written. And then they have to get it financed and all that.

I mean it's one thing to say you will develop a Sonic the Hedgehog movie, but another one to actually make it.

Not against the idea of a Shinobi movie. I like the games and I like ninjas. Would like to see a movie with crazy super-powered ninjas that can do crazy stuff and fight monsters. Not sure it translates for a Hollywood audience, but oh well.

 

[The Joker]

Revenge of Shinboi was one of my favorite games back in the day, hope this is good.

Snap.

Loved that game.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I tried that game years after playing Return of the Ninja Master, couldn't get into it as much as I wanted to.

 

[Inhuman117]

Hope Sega has the Creative Control because this time The Lead Should be Asian

 

[Lone]

Better have that damn dog/wolf sidekick.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Better have that damn dog/wolf sidekick.

That is from Shadow Dancer, not Shinobi.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Spoiler

Give him this costume and the white one.
Joe Musashi needs to be Asian
Shuriken, throwing knives and ninja magic are a must
And please have Ken-Oh as the first villain he faces.

 

[terry78]

Honestly the entire concept is so 80s I would actually hope they keep the movie in that time period.

 

[Iron_Stark]

In all seriousness, I'm surprised this got greenlit before a Ninja Gaiden movie did.

Ryu Hyabusa was in that awful Dead or Alive movie. He and that movie sucked, but he's already been in a live action movie.
