Italian-language film site ScreenWEEK has released the first poster for the Wachowski brothers’ NINJA ASSASSIN. It features the star, Korean pop singer Rain, shirtless in the… rain. I won’t be surprised if the marketing for this movie continues with the precipitation theme.
Rain is shown wielding two weapons. One is a katana or possibly a shorter variant of a Japanese sword and the other is a rather wicked-looking curved short blade attached to a chain, suggesting that it’s used as a short-range throwing weapon, like a rope dart.
News regarding NINJA ASSASSIN has been slim so far this year with the most recent being a tentative release date of November 25th.
