Rick Yune Set for Ninja Assassin
According to The Hollywood Reporter, also boarding the production are Naomie Harris as the female lead and Ben Miles.
The martial arts extravaganza stars Korean actor-singer Rain, who also appears in the siblings' Speed Racer, as a man brought up in an orphanage functioning as a ninja farm. The man turns his back on his tradition to make his way in the modern world, which brings him into conflict with a ninja (Yune) from the clan.
"Not to give too much away, (but) my character stays within what he was brought up with, and they go up against each other," Yune said. "I'm not a heavy. The characters are ninjas, they are assassins, and there's this mix of morality the Wachowskis are exploring."
Ninja Assassin was released November 25th, 2009 and stars Sung Kang, Randall Duk Kim, Jonathan Chan-Pensley, Yuki Iwamoto, Ill-Young Kim, Ben Miles, Naomie Harris, Rain. The film is directed by James McTeigue.

Sounds cool. Possibly a martial arts movie with more than just karate, but an actual back story to support it, hmmm. Sounds interesting. This and Redbelt should be good. I hope anyway.
