Upcoming Movie: Ninja Assassin

I have my fingers crossed about the upcoming new movie from the Matrix thinktank, Ninja Assassin. On the surface, the movie looks like it is going to be a blast to watch. A rogue Ninja assassin movie by the Matrix think tank should be a match made in heaven. I will have to be the first to admit that this movie was not on my geek movie radar. One day while I was googling for some Matrix quotes, I came across a link talking about a new Wachowski Brothers movie. I checked the trailer out, and saw enough good stuff about it, that I will check the movie out. Shooting from the hip, some of the action sequences reminds me of two of my favorite anime movies, Ninja Scroll and Crying Freeman. Both anime movies are ultra violent and deal with characters that exist in secret societies. I had always hoped that a live action hollywood version of both movies would be created. As with a lot of popular manga/anime, there are lot of good content to make a decent movie “Crossing my fingers about Cowboy Bebop.” If Ninja Assassin turns out to be a home run for the Wachowski Brothers, maybe I will see Ninja Scroll or Crying Freeman in the theaters someday soon.
