Oct-04-2009]The star of stars will be chosen among 'Jang Dong-Gun', 'Jeong Woo-Seong', 'Lee Byung-Heon, and Rain.

Clockwise rotation from the upper left :

'Jeong Woo-Seong', 'Lee Byung-Heon, Rain, 'Kang Dong-Won', and 'Jang Dong-Gun'

The box office will really appear pressed down by stars after Chuseok holiday, in particular, the male star-studded comeback is to get a lot of attention, and It is inevitable that there has to be a well-intentioned confrontation to choose the star of stars among various genres such as melodramatic film, thriller, and comedy film.

'Jeong Woo-Seong'll come back through his movie 'Heavy Rain Days' in which he starred and will be released on the 8th. 'Lee Byung-Heon'll show his charisma through his movie 'I'll Go With Rain' to be slated for the 15th.

'Jang Dong-Gun' to come back in 4years will appear in the screen with his comedy film 'Good Morning President' on the 22nd.

When November rolls around, another word star Rain'll come back.

Rain'll meet the global moviegoers with his movie 'Ninja Assassin' which will be released on November 26th.

In this movie, Raizo (Rain) taken from the streets as a child, was transformed into a trained killer by a mysterious secret society and one of the deadliest assassins in the world.

Rain starred in this hollywood film Ninja Assassin at first time, the released trailer and still cut of the blood-drenched, slice-'em-up movie make the moviegoers expect Rain's agile figure and actions, and it could be recognized how much of his growth potential.

In addition to this, 'Cha Seung-Won's 'Secret', 'Seol Kyung-Gu' and 'Lyu Seung-Beom's 'the unforgivable thing' in November, and 'Kang Dong-Won's 'Hot Guy' in December' are coming out.

*** Just can’t wait to watch the movie so I could have my own perspective & review about the film.

********************************************************************************

**********************************

[10-02] The M/C Review: Ninja Assassin is bloody good fun

James McTeigue, director of "V For Vendetta," is back in the saddle for the new Warner Bros. action movie "Ninja Assassin," and the good news is that it's an energetic, gore-soaked bit of fun.

It's Teflon, slick and without substance, and you may have a hard time describing the film's plot two hours after you see it, but I'm not sure I would hold that against the film. It's so aggressive about delivering a series of crazy set pieces that I admire it for it's single-mindedness, and there's at least one major choice made by McTeigue that I really like.

Hats off to Warner Bros. for taking a chance on Rain as a lead actor. Although I'm one of the most ardent supporters of "Speed Racer," I wasn't convinced that Rain really worked as a lead. Here, he's absolutely charismatic enough to pull it off, and although it's a very simple character arc overall, Rain plays enough shade and nuance to make me think he can handle even more the next time out.

Naomie Harris ("Miami Vice," "Pirates Of The Caribbean") stars as an analyst for an intelligence agency who is convinced that she's uncovered proof of a shadowy organization of ninjas who work as paid assassins around the world. Her investigation eventually brings her face to face with Raizo (Rain), who is the one member of that organization to ever successfully walk away. Together, they go on the run and have to face down the killers who are chasing them.

The end. It really is just that simple. There's some stuff about Raizo's childhood, and some stuff about the people Harris works for, but most of the film is a chase, one set piece to the next, and on that level, it really works. McTeigue's best decision in the entire film is to shoot the ninjas as monsters and to shoot the film as a horror movie. That way, it gives him permission to keep them offscreen except for glimpses, and it keeps them from feeling ridiculous. Cranking up the gore to a ridiculous degree also works in the film's favor. The action choreography is good but it's also studio-safe, meaning you don't get the same kind of kinetic "did they just kill that guy?" thrills you get from Thai action movies, so they ladle on the CGI gore as a distraction.

[more after the jump]

The strangest thing about Naomie Harris so far is how she vanishes into each movie. I watched this whole film wondering who the female lead was, and when I saw her name in the closing credits it surprised me. She's a chameleon. Overall, the movie comes down to the chemistry she has with Rain, and that works. The two of them make an engaging couple on the run, and it's smart that they never try to turn her into an richard simmons-kicking fighter. Considering how polished everyone in the movie is, they'd have to fake it with her, and it would just come across as silly. Bonus points also for the casting of Sho Kosugi as the mentor leader of the ninja cult. He almost single-handedly defined ninjas onscreen in the '80s, so it is appropriate to cast him here as the guy passing the torch.

I do think the film is narratively thin, but J. Michael Straczynski said he rewrote Matthew Sand's script in less than a week so that they could make a start date. I'd believe it. You've seen most of this before. It's just that McTeigue shoots it with a vigor and a joy that is almost palpable. I get the feeling he really enjoyed shooting the film, and it's nice that he and the Wachowskis seem to be developing a working method that makes all of them happy and that results in solid B-movie-with-A-list-values films like this one. It feels like an origin story, and I'd love to see Rain return in a series of films as Raizo works on an international scale.

If you're into crazy violent blood-soaked revenge stories, this is going to make you very happy on Thanksgiving weekend. Now if we could only find a way to cross this movie with "Old Dogs." I'd love to see John Travolta making lame baby jokes only to have Rain cut him in half with a giant sword. That would be a very happy Thanksgiving, indeed.

"Ninja Assassin" opens nationwide November 25th.

Ask Korean pop star Rain your questions

K-pop sensation and actor Rain is ready for your questions.

The 27-year-old South Korean has even faced down U.S. comedian Steven Colbert in a spoof

dance-off after Rain placed higher than him in Time Magazine's 2008 online poll of the 100 Most Influential People.

As well as a sense of humor and dance moves that shook Colbert out of his satirical posture to praise, Rain is also known as one of the hardest working men in the entertainment business.

Rain, real name Jeong Ji-hoon, broke into the notoriously tough world of South Korean show business with JYP Entertainment when he was just 18-years-old. He made his first mark in Hollywood last year with a role in "Speed Racer" appearing alongside Christina Ricci and Matthew Fox.

As a singer with five albums to his name, he's faced thousands of screaming fans at concerts across the world. Now he's ready to face your questions. Leave your questions in the Sound Off box below.

Hi kahina, welcome to RAIN's thread. He mentioned in one of his interviews that he's going to do one early next year. All of us are excited to watch him in the small screen once again. This Four Seasons has no confirmation from him if he's going to accept this but the FullHouse 2 is definitely out already. And for the record, he's not doing the FullHouse part 2 or sequels anymore.

[10-06] Exclusive: James McTeigue Talks CGI Blood and Ninja Assassin

source:http://www.filmschoolrejects.com ... interview-colea.php

Not only did Fantastic Fest audiences get a glimpse at the upcoming Ninja Assassin two months before its wide release, FSR was lucky enough to sit down with director James McTeigue who had a ton to say about the MPAA ratings process, the concept behind creating a live-action anime and his forthcoming murder mystery The Raven (which he describes as Poe meets Se7en).

Oh, and we also talk about kicking richard simmons. Naturally.

A veteran of the film industry, McTeigue had a lot to say about the difficulties faced by studios, claiming that they didn¡¯t know what the next hot subculture would be (and that they need one for when comic book characters go on the decline).

So for those of you who demand an interview that deals with the inner politics of the film industry and a discussion on Kusarigamas cutting through human flesh, gird your loins and prepare yourself:

Rain to Reappear in CNN’s Talk Asia

K-pop sensation and actor Rain will make a return appearance on CNN's ``Talk Asia'' to answer questions selected from those posted by his fans on the cable news channel's homepage.

On its Web site, CNN introduces Rain (real name Jung Ji-hoon) as a singer-actor with five albums to his name who has performed before thousands of screaming fans at concerts across the world. ``He's gone from being a backup dancer to the biggest thing in Asian pop culture, an actor and singer who has sold millions of albums,'' it says.

It also says he broke into the notoriously tough South Korean show business with JYP Entertainment when he was just 18 years old and is known as one of the hardest working people in the entertainment business.

Rain is expected to record the interview later this month. It is his first visit in four years to the program, which invites influential figures in the region.

Hundreds of fans from all over the world have already posted questions. Queries range from ``Who is your favorite Hollywood actress?'' and ``Why did you turn Megan Fox down?'' to ``What is your goal in the end?'' and ``When does your U.S. debut album come out?''

Rain made his first mark on Hollywood last year with a role in ``Speed Racer,'' appearing alongside Christina Ricci and Matthew Fox.

The upcoming action film ``Ninja Assassin,'' which stars Rain, will be released on Nov. 25.

In the film, he plays an orphan who becomes a ninja warrior. The film, directed by James McTeigue (``V for Vendetta'') and produced by the Wachowski brothers, has been one of the most highly anticipated action films of the year.
