First trailer for 47 Ronin

Universal has unleashed the debut trailer for the fantasy action-adventure 47 Ronin [47RON] on Apple.  Although based on a true historical event of the early 18th century Japan, this modern reimagining isn't your typical samurai film, but a CG-filled mythical fantasy ala The Lord fo the Rings.   Keanu Reeves [KREEV], Hiroyuki Sanada [HSANA] and Rinko Kikuchi [RKIKU] star in the $225+ million production which has been beset with delays, reshoots and cost-overruns.  47 Ronin finally arrives this Christmas.

 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

Looks like Keanu has found another project where a) he gets to be "the one," and b) it's going to be great and work no matter how wooden he is.

They need to make a trailer along the lines of superman and end with something better then what they used. Subtlety goes a long way.

This is interesting. They never showed the 47's super human powers which they must no doubt possess if they have any chance against what I just saw in this trailer.
