Hold your seats because it’s going to get crazy when Ninja Assassin comes out this Thanksgiving.  This will be the first Hollywood or big studio film to have a Korean in the lead role with Asian superstar Rain.  John Cho of course shared his lead with Kumar (Kal Penn) of the Harold and Kumar franchise, but Rain will be the man in Ninja Assassin.  He’s joined by other Korean actors in this movie: Rick Yune, Randall Duk Kim, and Sung Kang.  Ninja Assassins is directed by James McTeigue who had previously been assistant director to the Matrix franchise and Star Wars.  The movie is being produced and distributed by Hollywood heavyweights Joel Silver, the Wachowski Brothers and Warner Brothers.  It’s gonna be off the hook!

IMDB Synopsis:  Ninja Assassin follows Raizo (Rain), 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 (Naomie Harris) 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 (Ben Miles), 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 (Rick Yune), 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.
