Super New Sword-Swinging Clip From ’47 Ronin’

Keanu Reeves is back kicking-ass and features in the latest clip from the long-delayed martial-arts fantasy 47 RONIN in something very reminiscent to the days of MATRIX-y bullet-time. He leads a band of Far East warriors as a “half breed” known as Kai, waging war against the mythical beasties now enslaving their beloved lands. Awesome!

Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in 47 Ronin. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves)—a half-breed they once rejected—as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors. As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.

47 RONIN is directed by Carl Rinsch and comes from a screenplay written by Chris Morgan and Hossein Amini. It hits theatres in the US 25th December and the UK Boxing Day.
