Rick Yune wins "Ninja" role

Rick YuneDie Another DayThe
Fast and the Furious

Also boarding the Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures
production are Naomie Harris, in the female lead role, and Ben
Miles.

The Wachowski brothers are producing the martial arts
extravaganza, with James McTeigue ("V for Vendetta") directing.

The feature stars Korean actor-singer Rain, who also
appears in the Wachowskis' "Speed Racer," as a man brought up
in an orphanage that functions as a ninja farm. The man turns
his back on his tradition to make his way in the modern world,
which brings him into conflict with a ninja (Yune) from the
clan.

"Not to give too much away, (but) my character stays within
what he was brought up with, and they go up against each
other," said Yune, who next appears on the big screen in "The
Fifth Commandment," which he also wrote. "I'm not a heavy. The
characters are ninjas, they are assassins, and there's this mix
of morality the Wachowskis are exploring."
