'Ninja Assassin' Trailer Slices Its Way Online
Fri, July 24, 2009 Ahhhhh, Ninjas! Who doesn't love em? The mythology surrounding the Ninja, one in which fact and fiction have blurred together, is enticing to just about any fan of the action genre.
Now, those chaps (or is one of them now a woman?) behind "The Matrix" (we'll forget the sequels) have decided to make a brand new Ninja movie. Unlike most Ninja movies of the past though, this one actually has a budget.
Just like on the excellent "V for Vendetta," The Wachowskis are producers while James McTeigue steps into the director's chair.
The trailer doesn't give a whole lot up in terms of story. It basically is centered on the lead character (played by Korean pop hunk Rain) and how he became a Ninja, before launching into a load of awesome-looking action shots. The Wachowskis' trademark style is evident and man does this look like a cool 90 minute action blast!
"Ninja Assassin" opens Nov. 24 and you can check the trailer out below:

Damn that's going to be a blast!
The Matrix sequels had more religious symbolism, some of which people did not notice, than the first, which was obviously more entertaining.
If this is anything like "The Matrix," I'm there. If it's like "V For Vendetta," I'm not as interested.
