The martial arts flick will feature Korean actor-singer Rain (who has a role in the upcoming big screen adaptation of Speed Racer) and is being produced by action master
The film will also feature Naomie Harris in a female lead role and Ben Miles.
In the film, Rain will star as a man brought up in an orphanage functioning as a ninja farm. He comes in conflict with a ninja (Yune) from the clan when he turns his back on tradition to join the modern world.
In The Hollywood Reporter, Yune stated: "Not to give too much away, (but) my character stays within what he was brought up with, and they go up against each other. I'm not a heavy. The characters are ninjas, they are assassins, and there's this mix of morality the Wachowskis are exploring."
