did he get this role?
It all started
after his minor role in the film Speed Racer. The Wachovski brothers were
looking for "world actors" to act in their upcoming movie Speed
Racer. Rain from Korea was chosen as one of these world actors. Although the
film never did well in the big screen, Rain had no regrets since he only
played a minor role and he tried his best. This, however, was Rain's grand
entrance into Hollywood.

was his training like?
was his training like?
For this upcoming
Ninja Assassin movie, which comes in 2009, Rain dedicated himself to working
out and learning martial arts. It first started out with a protein rich diet
where he could not eat anything he wanted but only foods such as nuts, eggs,
salmon and chicken. This special diet coupled with a devout dedication to
working out and martial arts has helped him make the most of his role. While
filming the movie, he impressed the cast and crew of the movie with his
dedication into his role. While making the movie, Rain wondered why he should
struggle at an age when he should be going out with girls, but then he stated
that once he thought about being the main character in the movie and having
his face plastered in all of the movie posters it was all very much worth it.

8.His past and his Inspiration
Rain's family was very poor. There
is a story where Rain was drinking some water at night and when he turned on
the light, he saw that there was a cockroach in the cup. Rain's mother died
from an illness that could have been treatable if the family had money. In fact
Rain recalls that one of the last meals her mother had before she died was an
instant packaged meal. Rain regretted such moments and the death of his mother
has become his primary motivation in life. He strives to do the best at everything
he can. In fact, Rain is always dreaming for bigger and better things and
therefore he can never rest.

Whether it's
acting, dancing or singing, rain has been known to profusely divulge himself
into his work. There is a story where his mentor Park Jin Young would always

that Rain would ignore those suggestions, he was astonished when one day he
entered Rain's home and saw a bunch of post-it notes all over his wall with
all the words of wisdom that were told to him by his mentor. However, part of
this hard work can be devoted to his mentor who rarely would give him a day
off, not even if it was his birthday.

별 중의 별 가린다‥장동건 정우성 이병헌 비 등
[OSEN=최나영 기자] 추석이 지난 극장가에는 그야말로 ‘별’들이 쏟아진다.
특히 남자 톱스타들의 대거 귀환이 눈길을 끈다. 스릴러, 멜로, 코미디 등 다양한 장르 속에 별 중의 별을 가리는 아름다운 대결이 치뤄질 듯.
추석이 지난 후 제일 먼저 찾아오는 톱스타는 정우성이다. 8일 개봉하는 '호우시절'을 통해 허진호 감독의 다섯 번째 남자 주인공으로 돌아온다. 톱스타의 외피를 벗고 일상성을 입은 편안한 모습을 통해 전작 '놈놈놈'과는 다른 친근함으로 어필한다. 중국배우 고원원과 호흡을 맞춘 '멜로' 정우성의 감성을 한껏 볼 수 있는 기회.
이병헌은 다시한 번 걸쭉한 마초 기질의 터프남으로 관객을 찾는다. 15일 개봉하는 트란 안 홍 감독의 '나는 비와 함께 간다'에서 홍콩의 거물급 마피아 보스로 분해 이전보다 더욱 강렬한 카리스마를 보여줄 예정. 월드스타 반열에 오른 이병헌의 카리스마를 막을 수 있는 사람은 아무도 없어 보인다. 조쉬 하트넷, 기무라 타쿠야 등 다국적 미남들과 벌이는 연기 호흡도 관전 포인트.
4년만에 스크린 복귀하는 장동건은 장진 감독의 코미디로 돌아와 기대감을 높이고 있다. 22일 개봉을 앞두고 있는 '굿모닝 프레지던트'에서 정의롭고 순수한 사상 최연소 꽃미남 대통령으로 분하는 장동건이라니. 굳이 장진 감독의 팬이 아니더라도 영화를 보고 싶게끔 하는 대목이다.
11월에 들어서면 또 한 명의 월드스타가 귀환한다. 비(정지훈)가 11월 26일 개봉하는 '닌자 어쌔신'으로 전세계 관객들을 찾는 것. 거리의 고아였다가 비밀 조직에게 거둬져 훈련을 받고 세계 최고의 인간 병기로 키워지는 비는 이번 영화로 할리우드 첫 주연을 맡았다. 공개된 예고편과 스틸 컷은 유혈이 낭자한 피의 복수를 예감케 하는 비의 날렵한 몸과 액션을 기대하게 만든다. 월드스타 비의 성장 가능성을 한껏 볼 수 있는 작품.
충무로의 굵직한 배우 중 한 명인 차승원도 있다. 강력반 형사가 자신의 뜻밖의 살인사건에 휘말린 아내를 구하기 위해 목숨을 거는 내용을 담은 스릴러 '시크릿'이 11월 개봉한다. 부부로 호흡을 맞춘 차승원과 송윤아 커플이 주목되는 작품.
12월에는 ‘핫 가이’ 강동원을 만난다. 최동훈 감독이 메가폰을 잡은 한국형 슈퍼히어로물 '전우치'의 히어로로 극장가를 강타할 것이란 전망이다. 조선시대 고대소설 '전우치전'에서 모티브를 따온 이 영화에서 천방지축 도사로 분한 강동원은 판타지적인 와이어 액션을 선보인다. 올 겨울 화제작 중 한 편.
설경구, 류승범을 동시에 만날 수 있는 가능성도 있다. 대한민국 최고의 부검 전문의와 치밀함과 잔인함을 동시에 갖춘 살인범과의 피할 수 없는 대결을 그린 스릴러 '용서는 없다'가 올 겨울 개봉 예정이다.
