47 Ronin is a widely told Japanese historical account of a group of samurai avenging their master’s death in the 18th century and has been made into films several times. Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) returns to our big screen in its latest incarnation, which from the trailer seems a lot like 300 but with samurai. The effects look beautiful.

Trailer: 47 Ronin

I’m looking forward to seeing more media from this film and I’m keeping a lookout for more Keanu Reeves fight scenes especially.

47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves, Rinko Kikuchi, and Hiroyuki Sanada is slated to hit theaters December 25, 2013.
