47 Ronin, starring Keanu Reeves, is #2 on Jack McGlynn’s ‘Top 5 Most Anticipated Action Films of 2013’ list that he posted at Click.
The film, led by Keanu Reeves, has a strong Japanese supporting cast led by heavyweights Tadanobu Asano (Thor, Ichi The Killer, Zatoichi) Hiroyuki Sanada (The Last Samurai, Sunshine, Tasogare Seibei), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Mortal Kombat) and Rinko Kikuchi (Pacific Rim, Babel). As McGlynn puts it:
Handing $170m to a first time director is a gamble, but Universal seem confident that a band of Oni-stabbing badasses led by Ted Theodore Logan is a definite win. Sound reasoning if you ask us…
The entire list is here.
