Ooof. Zhang Ziyi playing another Japanese role??? ..... that'd be bad. Apparently, American directors and film studios can't find real Japanese actors. :shakehead:

Keanu Reeves goes way of the samurai in '47 Ronin'
Wednesday 10th December, 05:35 AM JST

LOS ANGELES —
Keanu Reeves is to star in a period film about a band of samurai swordsmen who avenge the death of their master in 18th century Japan, Daily Variety reported Tuesday.

Reeves, the star of the upcoming science fiction thriller gThe Day the Earth Stood Stillh and the gMatrixh films, will play one of the vengeful samurai in the movie titled g47 Ronin.h

The film, which is being produced by Universal Pictures, is based on the true story of a group of samurai who plotted revenge after their master was forced to commit suicide for assaulting a court official.

Variety said the film would mix fantasy elements with gritty battle scenes similar to those in period epics such as gGladiator.h

Filming is set to begin in 2009.

any of you guys see Hard Candy??

I took my son to see "The Day The Earth Stood Still" with Keanu Reeves the other day. As usual Keanu played Keanu, this time as an alien ;) but it was an OK movie.

Yup, saw that a few years ago. I wouldn't recommend it ..... unless you enjoy torture, sadism, and beat-downs ... coming from 14 year-old girls. :sweat:

Speaking of 14 year-old girls .... the masses of them would strongly disagree. :beaten:

The fact that I hold disparate opinions from the masses of 14-year old girls is very comforting to me.

And speaking of disparate opinions . . . hey Beemer, Time Magazine listed Speed Racer among its 10 best movies of 2008. Do you think the critic saw a different version than you? :hehe:

Nope, it was Richard Corliss.
Speed Racer ranked ninth on his list, btw. Wall-E was his top movie; Iron Man was #8; and 6 of the 10 movies were U.S. productions.

Wall-E was visually very nice, but I found it boring, especially the first half hour or so.

Hm... I actually feel the opposite .... the first half of Wall-E was more interesting. 2nd half became predictable and one long chase scene.
