Latest on new Wachowski brothers film...
Rick Yune (Die Another Day) is set to play the lead villain in the Wachowski brothers' new film, Ninja Assassin which stars Korean star Rain. The film is about Rain's character coming into conflict with Yune's character after he turns his back on tradition and tries to embrace the modern world.
Yune told the Hollywood Reporter, "Not to give too much away, (but) my character stays within what he was brought up with, and they go up against each other." He said: "I'm not a heavy. The characters are ninjas, they are assassins, and there's this mix of morality the Wachowskis are exploring."
Naomie Harris (Street Kings, Miami Vice) will play the female lead, while Ben Miles (TV's Coupling has also been cast in an unspecified role.
