47 Ronin, 2013 film directed by Carl Rinsch starring Keanu Reeves, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Hiroyuki Sanada and Rinko Kikuchi, will have a sequel, untitled for now. It will be an action fantasy, produced by Universal 1440 Entertainment, of the group Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Nothing is known yet about what the future release date is, but it is very fresh news of the arrival as director of Ron Yuan, American actor, voice actor, stunt choreographer and martial artist, also appeared in Mulan.
I am incredibly excited to be working with Universal and the production team on this film that will combine martial arts, action, horror and cyber-punk. It will be an exciting, intense and fun race for spectators from all over the world.
Ron Yuan said. The original film was written by Chris Morgan e Walter Hamada and told the story of a group of samurai (the forty-seven Ronin) set in the eighteenth century, who wanted to avenge the death of their master, killed by an explained Shogun (commander of the army). 47 Ronin grossed more than $ 38 million in the United States and $ 151 million worldwide. It won't be Yuan's first directorial experience, having also edited Year for the Dance e Wild Card, while as an actor we saw him as the Sergeant Qiang in the live-action adaptation of Mulan directed by Niki Caro. He will also lend his voice in the animated film The Monkey di Stephen Chow which will land on the platform Netflix. He will also star in the action comedy Paper tigers, of Bao Tran produced by XYZ Films.
In short, an artist committed on several fronts, ready for a new experience that we will follow and of which we will give you updates as soon as possible, especially on production, casting and completion times, always in doubt for the Covid emergency. Surely we can expect the start of filming at least by the end of the year and a release later in the year 2021.
