(Seoul) South Korea´s heavenly king Rain, will star in 團隊打造 (name) “22nd century network murder” (The Matrix)´s adaptation of a new Japanese comics “SpeedRacer” contending in Hollywood!
South Korea´s heavenly king Rain, will star in “The Matrix” 團隊打造 (name)´s new movie “SpeedRacer” (provisional translation: top competition), in this car racing movie, it would be unlikely that Rain would be dancing and singing, but will continue to show off his muscles.
News agency reports that “The Matrix”´s filmmaker (Joel Silver) and directors, brothers (Andy & Larry Wachowski) will again join collaborate in the new movie “SpeedRacer” in early June in Berlin, Germany, and other locations to start shooting.
In addition to starring Hollywood stars Susan Sarandon, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox, John Goodman, there are also Japanese male star (真田廣之) and South Korean´s little heavenly king, Rain.
Warner Co. confirmed that Rain and co-stars will attend a press conference later this month in Berlin but Rain´s role in the film has yet to be announced.
The movie adapted from the 1967 Japanese well known animation “racing Hero” (also translated : Mach Go Go Go, Mach 5), describes driving seven different functional racing youths, conspiring to defuse the crisis. Therefore, it is not a surprise with the appearance of the actors from the East, the film is scheduled to open next May.
It is understood that Brothers Andy & Larry Wachowski are very fond of Japanese comics and Joel Silver is fascinated by the Oriental martial arts, therefore, in “The Matrix”, a lot of the above two were featured. Although “SpeedRacer”´s main focus will be on racing, it will feature a lot of action scenes taking on Rain´s flexibility credited from his dance background
Rain will be in the United States performing in his concerts. This year he was in the Berlin Film Festival for “I´m a Cyborg but it is okay”, “SpeedRacer” will add to his internacional fame making it his first entrance into Hollywood. Joel Silver and the Andy & Larry Wachowski brothers are fond of showing off male muscles and Rain´s able body structure will not disappoint them.
