Keanu Reeves' Long-Awaited Big-Budget, Samurai Movie '47 Ronin' Finally Gets A Trailer
The film follows Kai (Reeves) as he leads a small army of 47 warriors to avenge the death of their master.
Universal needs this film to be a big hit.
Like Disney's "The Lone Ranger," this movie has been in the works for seemingly forever. As a result, its budget swirled massively out of control.
"47 Ronin" was originally set for a November 2012 release before being pushed back to February of this year.
The Wrap reported back in September that the production for the film was a "nightmare" with the budget inflating to $225 million.
This is Reeves second film he has out this year.
After a long hiatus from the film circuit he'll also be seen in "Man of Tai Chi."(His last big blockbusters were 2003's "Something's Gotta Give" and "The Matrix: Revolutions."
"47 Ronin" comes to theaters December 25.
One takeaway.
When seeing this image in the above trailer ...
We can't help but think of the Silver Samurai from "The Wolverine."
