The Wachowskis' Ninja Assassin

[matrix_ghost]

God I hope Whitizing is not gonna become a temr here.



Sorry dude but i had remove the vid due to some of the content, however i watched it and it looks pretty awesome, reminded me a bit of Onimusha, where was the Ninja though ? I was kinda looking for a classic looking Ninja with the all black suit and the clava.

I think i might buy the anime after watching that vid.

No problemop hunter. Should've warned people about that vid. But yeah that is the anime. Yoshiaki Kawajiri ( famed anime director) is known for his stylised violence as well as the prominent feature of nudity.

Also the lead guy ( see below) isn;t you're typical ninja . Doesn't dress in black , but still does kick ass.

And i would highly recommend the anime t:
The story is paperthin but the visuals make up for it. Just like 300

I ask about Ninja Assassin and he says it’s a completely original story – he says it’s a “full on martial arts movie.” He also says it’s a revenge movie.

 

[DorkyFresh]

aw pooey. oh well...i'm probably still gonna watch it, hehe.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm actually glad, i wanted either a present day setting or a futuristic setting, and I wanted the classic Ninja look.

Source: SCI FI Wire
March 18, 2008


Collin Chou, who played Seraph in the Wachowskis' "Matrix" films, will reunite with the duo for Ninja Assassin, which V For Vendetta helmer James McTeigue will direct.

The actor tells SCI FI Wire that he will be one of the four leads in the film, that also stars South Korean pop star Rain.

"I am working with the Wachowski brothers next month... It will be in Berlin," Chou said. He said that the Wachowskis' ninja movie starts production in late April or early May.

The film will be produced by Joel Silver.

I believe they wrote the film as a film for James McTigue.

I have my reservations about Rain in the film. The guy is a mediocre actor at best and his English leaves a lot to be desired unless they shoot the film in a Chinese. I'm hoping that Donnie Yen will join the cast but that's just wishful thinking at this stage. Even better if Jet Li came in as well.

 

[블라스]

Oy, I love Ngai Sing :heart:

 

[Sebastos]

I...just can't wait for this movie, plain and simple.

Yeah, Rain is Korean, unless he knows a Chinese dialect.
I know it's not a big deal because most likely it won't matter here with this movie.

Collin Chou is not a Ninja Assassin

As most of you know, I’m a huge Wachowski Brothers fan. So when word leaked that they wrote a new script called “Ninja Assassins” and that it’d be directed by James McTeigue (“V for Vendetta&#8221, you could say I was excited. After all, I loved V and I’ve been waiting patiently for James to make his follow up film.

In fact, when I was at ShoWest and I got the chance to speak with super producer Joel Silver, the only thing I really wanted to discuss was “Ninja Assassins.” Thankfully, he told me it’s a completely original revenge story and he said it’s a “full on martial arts movie.” He also said the start date for “Ninja Assassin’s” was six weeks away. Since that was a few weeks ago, you’d figure everything would be smooth sailing.

But thanks to a source I completely trust, I can now report Collin Chou (one of the two reported leads) has dropped out of the project. While I don’t know the reason, I’m fairly certain they won’t have a problem getting someone to step in and take his place.

With the “Speed Racer” press junket taking place in exactly a week and with Joel Silver attending, you can look for me to find out what’s up with the project soon. Until then….

Oh well.

They have J. Michael Straczynski as a writer on the film. True or false? I haven't heard a word about his involvement.

 

[Sebastos]

Don't believe what you read on IMDB.

 

[Gotham]

Don't believe what you read on IMDB.

Yeah. I know that. But this film has been flying far below the radar--I wouldn't see a point in adding him on there.

 

[Sebastos]

I think it's false. Could be wrong though...

Doubt it.
Like everyone said , it's IMDB. IMDB is a good source for movie trivia,news etc AFTER a movie comes out or when the info is confirmed.

Besides didn't the wachowski's write the script. If so i wouldn't count on JMS being the writer or part of the writing team since the wachowski's always use their own scripts.

However JMS had reviewed the V for vendetta script and gave it a positive review.

If this movie happens, I hope they do the multiple body illusion.

Really? Where?

Actually, I found it. Sorry.

 

[Poeman]

Joel Silver talks NINJA ASSASSIN

 

[Gotham]

Joel's keeping tight lipped on this one.
