We’ve seen Keanu Reeves as a surfer cop, a computer hacker, a pre-enlightened Buddha and a defense attorney. He’s even done Shakespeare. So why not a Samurai?
The new theatrical trailer for 47 Ronin released by Universal Pictures features an impressive array of visual effects and non-stop fighting scenes. Who doesn’t love the sound of clashing blades and the whoosh of long robes? And of course, dramatic declarations of doom delivered in a way that only Reeves can. Reeves’ Ronin is destined to help 47 banished Samurai restore their honor and avenge their murdered master.
47 Ronin opens on Christmas Day.
