Yonekura Ryoko to join Keanu Reeves for g47 Roninh?
As you might or might not know, Hollywood is going to make their own version of the legendary Japanese story about the Chushingura, the Fourty-Seven Ronin, starring Keanu Reeves and of course, in 3D.
g47 Roninh is going to be the full-length feature film debut of director Carl Rinsch. According to screencrave the movie is going to be a stylized version, mixing the true story of the 47 Ronin with fantasy elements ala gThe Lord of the Ringsh and gritty battle scenes ala gGladiatorh. Keanu probably likes the fact that he is finally going to have a lot of action scenes again. Chris Morgan, scriptwriter of gWantedh, gTokyo Drifth and the upcoming gFast Fiveh will be responsible for squeezing in at least a bit of a story.
Now the Japanese tabloid gShukan Jitsuwah has reported that Japanese actress Yonekura Ryoko supposedly has received an offer to star alongside Keanu. Of course this would mark Yonekurafs Hollywood debut, but thatfs actually not the main point of the tabloidfs article. According to the script, there is going to be quite a love scene, with both of them showing a lot of skin.
The tabloid included a short excerpt from the first version of script and it sure looks like it is going to become quite a challenge for Yonekura, if she was to accept the offer.

^ Dang.
That's going to force to me to have to see it when it comes out... :sweat:
BTW, the whole 3D thing is BS, IMO. :beaten:

I really hope this is just tabloid fodder and she won't be in it. There's no possible way this could be anything but an abomination.
Hollywood is going to make their own version of the legendary Japanese story about the Chushingura
Meaning it'll be a boondoggle that makes no sense, lacks any cultural nuances, be heavy handed, and probably resemble a KimuTaku movie. The audience is going to spend the whole duration scratching their heads about why a bunch of non-Japanese people are dressed like samurai.
"47 Roninh is going to be the full-length feature film debut of director Carl Rinsch
Meaning this guy probably doesn't know what he's doing.

Why? None of his other works had any plot.
Looks like the found the magical formula for "suck".

Hollywood's always had that formula... And they've been using it a lot more lately. :bleh:

People used to stop and ask if she was one.
They were really rare when I was a little kid.
The Japanese film industry has been making different versions of the 47 Ronin since 1907. Some brilliant, some gawdawful. Heck, a quick search of idbm will give you a dozen different versions. And a lot more if you take the trouble to type in Chushingura.
If the Hollywood version stinks... it'll have a lot of company.
But on the plus side... it'll introduce one of Japan's favorite stories to a much larger audience.
And it'll introduce Ryoko to a much larger audience.
And if it stinks... like I said, it won't be the only stinker out there.
But I'll bet they make her look good.

Geezer, ever the optimist among us. :hehe: You do make a good argument for it though.

Yup, he does.
Thing is, will Keanu say "Whoa..." in the film? :beaten:

What's not to be optimistic about getting to see Ryoko in a big budget movie? The prospect makes me happy.

He might. He sucks. But then, would a few "Whoa..."s be any more annoying than Kimura Takuya flipping his perfectly brushed hair like a 17 year old ingenue in "Chuchingura 1 of 47"?
