Poster and Trailer for ‘Ninja Assassin’

Published by Jeff Leins on: July 23rd, 2009

A poster and trailer have made their way online to promote Ninja Assassin, a martial arts movie produced by the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix) and directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta).  The title just about says it all, but to be more specific the movie is about a ninja trained from birth to be a deadly assassin until he’s betrayed by his masters. I’ll let the face-kicking, sword-swinging material below speak for itself, but I’ll just say the movie is out November 25, 2009.

Watch this cool trailer and below is the official synopsis:

“Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo (Rain) breaks free from them… and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge.

In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi (Rick Yune), to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive… and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.”
