Rain is a Ninja Assassin

Rain promotes his forthcoming movie Ninja Assassin during the Comic Con at the San Diego Conference Center on Thursday.

Ninja Assassin is an upcoming martial arts film directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) and starring Korean pop star, Rain.

Raizo (Rain) is one of the world’s deadliest assassins, having been kidnapped as a child and raised by the Ozunu Clan, believed by the world to be a myth. When Raizo’s friend is executed by the clan, Raizo flees into hiding.

The project was inspired by the ninja scenes featured in the Wachowskis‘ 2008 film Speed Racer, in which the actor Rain had impressed the Wachowskis with his portrayal as a fighter.
