Chou Stars in the Wachowskis' Ninja Assassin

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.

McTeigue does good work. Wonder where the brothers ripped off the story for this movie?

There are rumors that Ninja Assassin is actually the working title for Ninja Scroll, an amazingly cool Japanese Anime movie. If that's the case, this movie has the potential of being really awesome. And Neosclone, you're a loser...

It isn't an adaptation of Ninja Scroll, but its just their ninja appreciation project. I am not a fan of the Washowskis, though I am looking forward to Speed Racer, but you guys are on the ball, wonder where they ripped off the idea from? hehe
