Check This Out: Badass High Quality Ninja Assassin Poster!
July 28, 2009
by Alex Billington
This official poster for James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin was debuted by MTV during Comic-Con, but I was waiting to post it until I got a much high quality version. On top of that, I got to catch a special secret screening of the movie there, but I'm not allowed to say much about it. I will say that I loved it, I had such a great time watching it, and the action is truly badass. If you haven't watched the trailer yet, give it a shot, as you'll get a glimpse of that action I'm talking about. I'm not surprised that they're going with the cutoff head design on this, as the Wachowski Brothers did produce it, but it's still a very badass looking poster. Check it!
A young ninja turns his back on the orphanage that raised him, leading to a confrontation with the clan.
Ninja Assassin is directed by Australian filmmaker James McTeigue, who previously worked as the first assistant director for all three Matrix movies and Speed Racer and also directed V for Vendetta himself. The screenplay was co-written by newcomer Matthew Sand and comic book veteran J. Michael Straczynski, of the "Babylon 5" TV show and the script for Clint Eastwood's Changeling previously as well as the Silver Surfer movie. Warner Brothers is finally bringing Ninja Assassin to theaters on November 25th this year.

Now that's a poster! Kickass.
We've seen so many poorly put together posters lately, but now Ninja Assassins shows how to do it right.

Rain's lookin' good, and I like the cut-off on the face as part of the poster design… don't think it was meant to hide slanted eyes..

There's more to Asians than martial arts, anime, South Korean films, eating tentacles, tentacles making love, game shows, sushi, bulgogi, starcraft, and Raiiiiiiiiiiiiin.

Hey, Alex–
I also attended the private screening and can't understand why you can't talk about it. I thought the idea was for the small audience to spread the word if it was worth getting excited about. It was a treat to see it, just balls-out, hard core action with a bit of a cliched storyline to drag things down a bit. Anyone who doubts Rain has got the Right Stuff can eat his words after seeing this. He was the best thing about the film.

Crouching Tiger, Memoirs Of a Geisha, House Of Flying Daggers and freaking Enter The Dragon all had asian leads with "slanted eyes" on the posters, dude.
