We haven’t seen much so far from 47 Ronin,
the film that Carl Erik Rinch directed with Keanu Reeves,
as a semi-remake of a story that has been filmed in Japan several times.
We know the movie also features Hiroyuki Sanada, Kou Shibasaki,
Tadanobu Asano and Rinko Kikuchi, and we know that
it is an effects-heavy 3D affair. In fact, the release was just
pushed back a couple months, reportedly so more work
can be done on the final effects renders.
Yesterday Jeff Snider from Variety tweeted about info
on a test screening of the film, but along with that he shot out
a low-res image of a poster for the film.
The banded image features four character portraits,
with text labels Outsider, Demon, Witch and Savage.
All combined, that contributes to our understanding that
this take on the story is fairly different from previously filmed versions.
