정지훈의 첫 헐리웃 주연작! "닌자어쌔신" 나는 보고 왔지롱

2009. 11. 17. 14:44

안녕하세요 예고편 지기 쁘띠입니다. 아...이 멘트가 제일 오글오글..

엄~~청 늦었습니다...ㅠㅠ 본인이 환장하게 바뻤던 관계로..ㅠㅠ 약속했던 대로! 비 주연 정지훈이죠.....닌자어쌔신에 대해서 오늘 마구마구 파해쳐 보도록 하겠습니다.

20091117-0001

헐리웃 영화 그것도 나름의 큰 돈을 들여서 만든 영화에 우리나라 스타가 나온다고 하면은 일단은 관심은 갑니다.. 머..지아이조도 그리하였고...(이병헌의 비중이 엄청 크진 않았지만;;;) 하지만 주연은 처음인지라...것두 엄청난 팬들을 보유하고 계신 비! 그 이름하여 정지훈! 이라는 것에 큰 관심이 가게 되죠.

머 언제나 쓰는 영화의 간단한 줄거리를 보자면...(모르시는 분들도 간혹;;;계시니...아~ 하하하하하)


닌자를 죽여라!!
거리의 고아였던 라이조(비)는 베일에 싸인 비밀 조직 '오주누파'에게 거둬져 훈련을 받고 세계 최고의 인간 병기로 키워진다. 어느 날 조직에 의해 친구가 무자비하게 처형된 것을 목격하고 조직을 뛰쳐나온 그는 행방을 감춘 채 조용히 복수를 준비한다.

한편 베를린에서는 정체불명의 조직에 의한 정치적 암살사건을 추적하던 유로폴 요원 미카(나오미 해리스)가 일급비밀 문서를 손에 넣게 되고, 그로 인해 라이조의 라이벌인 타케시(릭윤)가 이끄는 '오주누파' 암살단의 표적이 된다.

우연히 쫓기는 미카를 구해낸 라이조는 조직이 두 사람을 결코 포기하지 않을 것임을 깨닫고, 이제야 결전의 때가 되었음을 느끼게 된다. 유럽 전역을 무대로 펼쳐지는 쫓고 쫓기는 추격전 속에서 라이조와 미카는 살기 위해, '오주누파'를 끝장내기 위해 서로를 믿고 의지해야만 한다!

라는 내용을 갖고 있죠....머 한번씩 네이버에 쳐 보셨으면 아셨을 겁니다..저 역시도 이거보고 영화 내용을 아니;;;;;;;민망합니다;;

일단 감독은 인베이젼(OCN에서 현재 하고 있죠?ㅎㅎㅎ)을 공동연출한 제임스 맥티그가 하였고...감독보다 더 유명한 제작자인

워쇼스키 브라~더스와 조엘 실버가 참여를 했다고 합니다.

아!하! 잠시 비군의 얼굴 한번 보시고 갈까요? 전 보고 왔습니다..ㅋㅋㅋ 쩝...보시죠;;

[091117-001]

같은 남자가 보아도 훤~칠합니다;;; 키도 크고...완전한 위너 더군요....위너.....필자는 루져......쩝.......

여튼 유명 제작자와 함께 만든 영화 닌자어쌔신...
기자시사회에 대한 후문을 잠시 듣자면...19세영화라 그러한지....
초반부분이 굉장히 하드코어 하다고 합니다...
그래도 보편적 반응은 비의 약간의 발음 문제(근데...네이트브 아니고 저정도면 잘하는거지..ㅡㅡ^)정도를 뺴면 강렬한 액숀!은 정말 화려하다고 합니다..

본인도 아직은 영화를 보지 못하였기때문에 많은 것을 말씀드리는게...실례? 같아서..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
정지훈~ 정지훈~ 너무 속보이나;;;;끄윽...

좌우당간 이 영화가 잘 되야!! 우리나라 배우들에 대한 메이저 영화사들의 노크가 계속 되지 않을까 합니다...

스피드레이서의 실패를 딛고! 멋지게 도약하는 우리나라 대표 가수이자 이제는 대표 배우로 거듭나길 바라면서!

이러니....멘트가 좀 무릅팍같기도 하고;;;;;

영상 하나 더 공개할께용...ㅎㅎㅎ 착한 지훈군께서 따주신 멘트까지 포함(짧습니다;;;)

[091117-002]

이제 본격적으로 예고편 감상하시고...잠시 후 계속됩니다..뿅!

[091117-003]

 

시작부분에 보면 약간의 설명이 있죠?ㅎㅎㅎ
그라다가 다다다다다다다다다다다다다다다닥! 터지기 시작을 합니다...
머 그러네요;;;;
말이 필요 없을 것 같아서...11월 26일 극장에서 나머지는 확인하시면 될 것 같네요;;;

아참! 보너스로 닌자어쌔신의 촬영기 올려드릴께요...
이런식으로 연습도 하고..고생하면서 찍었다는 그 정도?ㅎㅎㅎ
그럼 다음 영화에 다시 찾아 뵙겠습니다!
다음 영화는 "트와일라잇2-뉴문"을 해야하는데;;;
1편을 못봐서;;멀 말씀드려야 할지원..ㅠㅠ

여튼 짧은 시간안에라도 보고!! 이번엔 짧게! 오겠습니다...

그럼 추운데...감기, 플루 , 독감 전부 조심하시길 바람서!
뿅!!

Synopsis:
Ninja Assassin follows Raizo (Rain), one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge.
In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi (Rick Yune), to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.

30 NINJAS

Ninja Assassin Exclusive Part 2:

The Vicious Chain Weaponry Invented for Its Fight Phenom Star, and How He Wielded It Six Stories Above a Berlin Street

You gotta love a martial arts movie that’s custom built for its star because of his talent, not past glory. Ninja Assassin, the Wachowski Brothers-produced fight extravaganza that opens Nov. 25th, does not merely star the prodigiously gifted Korean pop star Rain — it owes its very existence to him. Rain so dazzled the stunt coordinators with his natural martial arts ability on the Wachowskis’ 2008 film Speed Racer that the filmmakers gave him a fight film of his own. During the shooting of Ninja Assassin, Rain delivered on that promise, so impressing the film’s fight gurus with his fearlessness and skill that they let him execute precarious free-running stunts six stories above the street in a Berlin power station, fleeing some of the world’s most seasoned parkour performers.

In Part 2 of our exclusive interview, Ninja Assassin stunt coordinator and 2nd unit director Chad Stahelski tells 30 Ninjas Editor-in-Chief Julina Tatlock how the filmmakers developed new weaponry and new visual techniques to highlight their new star’s talents, from the invented ninja knife on a chain to the “Crazy Horse camera rig,” whose three cameras on one circular dolly allowed for longer takes and stylized changes of perspective around the fights.

How Do You Top the Fighting in the Matrix Trilogy?

30 NINJAS: You worked on all three Matrix films, and the fight effects were obviously considered a groundbreaking moment in special effects and fight choreography. To what degree in this movie were you looking to use the same techniques and to what degree were you trying to make a break from those techniques and discover something new?

CHAD STAHELSKI: It went in both directions on this one, I think. Ninja has got a little bit of juxtaposition in that some of the shots were derived in a graphic novel sense, in a comic book sense, with some of the perspective changes; when Raizo is swinging his bladed chain weapon around, you can see that he becomes a little anime in look. And then there’s other times where some of the visual effects, you can’t tell that we did sword extensions and some CG weaponry, [because] the blending of the CGI nowadays is nearly 100 percent realistic, so I think we just picked our moments to hide the visual effects, and then other moments we kinda punched them out so that you could see them, making it look like he was part of a different world, which is a bigger excuse to use some of the martial arts techniques that we use. You know, we tried to not be too serious with ourselves, like ”this is real.” [But] I think some of our wire work and some of the safety things we did during the free-running sequences in the abandoned warehouses, you really couldn’t tell we were using any kind of what I call stunt trickery. I think there’s a lot of the special effects in the movie that we used, and it kept a lot of our secrets, which is cool.
There’s one thing we owe Zack Snyder, [the director of] 300, a bit of a credit for, though. While we were doing the movie 300, we used something we call the Crazy Horse camera rig. Dave and I thought it was really cool, and Zack taught us how it worked, and we really used it well in one scene in 300. So we kinda took that and expanded on it. Zack had used it on a straight dolly, and we used it on a circular dolly in the scene in the safe house, where Raizo fights about a dozen ninjas. It’s a very cool digital zoom-in and digital zoom-out sequence that we are very happy with, and the reason we did that was to show off Rain. It was our cool way to punch in without editing, so we zoomed in and zoomed out, because with the technique of using three cameras we didn’t have to [call] ‘Cut’ in between [takes]. It’s just another way to highlight Rain as being Rain. There weren’t any stunt doubles in that sequence; Rain did it all himself. That was pretty cool. So we used visual effects to highlight how good Rain was.

30 NINJAS: Why is it called the Crazy Horse camera rig?

CS: Actually, it’s because it was first used back in the late ’70s on a movie called Crazy Horse. And what it is, is just a low-angle prism. And we use three cameras through on low angle prism to match the same camera position. So we use these three cameras at once to get the exact same angle.

The Un-Safe House Scene

30 NINJAS: You are also working in some insanely dangerous scenarios. What was the most frightening sequence, the most challenging sequence, that you did?

CS: I think that logistically, safety-wise and performance wise, I’d have to say the Safe House, the scene where Rain’s character, Raizo, has been captured by Interpol security force. He is chained up in an old, old power station in Berlin. And the ninjas infiltrate that, and they kill all the Interpol soldiers, and Rain makes his breakout. It really was a dilapidated old power station and at some points, it was six stories straight to the floor. It took us almost three weeks to put in all the safety riggings in the ceiling for all the free-running sequences in it and to make sure that the crew could not fall through the holes. Stunt-wise, doing all the rigging, we had with us some of the best stunt riggers in the business for months at a time. And they did an outstanding job of making everything safe, and it really enhanced the performances of all our guys. The most challenging part is whenever you put your lead cast member in. You know, we got Rain, and he is [several] stories off the ground, doing his own jumps and his own free running. Granted, he’s on safety cables and certain systems that enhance his performance, but if Rain misses or falls, he still falls. We catch him, but there are a lot of stunt performers out there that don’t like heights, believe it or not — let alone you have your 25-year-old, many-millions-a-year pop star [up there] in a harness, being chased by some of the best free runners in the world, who are dressed up as ninjas. And Rain held his own performing at the same height, and at the same level of danger as the [professional stuntmen did]. You know, that’s always the most nerve-wracking thing for us. You know, the stuntmen you trust because you’ve gotten the best in the world. If we have not gone through basically five months of training with Rain — and really, really know what he has inside his heart, how brave and how professional he is — we would never have put him up [there]. But after spending so much time with him, we saw the kind of gusto he has, and we put him in the same sequences as the pros. We can’t say everyone does their own stunts, but Rain did as much as we asked of him, which was quite a bit more than most.

The Ultimate Fantasy: Inventing a Bladed Chain Weapon and the Techniques to Use It

30 NINJAS: In the trailer, Rain is carrying a weapon which is like a knife on a chain, and there were a lot of other knives and throwing stars and other sharp metal objects flying around. Can you tell me a little bit about these weapons? Which weapon is Rain carrying and does it give him an edge during the film?

CS: Larry and Andy [Wachowski] had come to us very, very early on in the project conception, and they said, “How do you want to do the fights?” Literally, they came with a blank piece of paper and handed it over to David and I and said, “You guys give us your best ideas with the sequences, and we’ll take the four or five best ones.” Well, we’d already trained Rain to fight with a sword, so we wanted to do a bunch of sword stuff because Rain picked it up quicker than anybody. We wanted to do a small to medium amount of empty hands [when a ninja fights with just hands against an opponent who’s holding a weapon], and we knew we were going to do some specific combative stuff with that. And we could have done nunchucks, and all this other stuff. All these different things are being thrown on the table between [director] James [McTeigue], Larry and Andy, and us. And we went back and spent a week playing with every weapon we knew how to use. And then we decided, you know, something that people don’t use that well is a flexible weapon. You know like numchucks or a three-sectional staff or something like a chain weapons. We decided we didn’t like the whip, we didn’t like the whip chain, and we didn’t like the rope dart. They did not have that finality, and it did not look lethal enough for us. [So] we kind of make up our own. We took a rubber knife, put it out on the end of a length of rope and started playing around with it. We started liking some of the results we were getting. We could do close quarter, we could do medium range, we could do long range. We can hang from it, we can throw it, and we can retrieve it. We were like, that’s great. But you can’t block a sword with a rope, so we made it in a chain. And then we started researching all the different martial arts and different styles that use flexible weapons. We got three or four of the best guys together and pretty much made up our own martial art with it. And once we had something we liked, we’d show it to everybody. And everybody thought it was awesome. It was great and visually stylistic. Larry and Andy ran with it and took it back to their storyboarders, who began to realize all the cool visuals you can do with the length of the chain, and the visual effects guys liked it. It’s also something that none of the other ninjas used, [so] it’s also something that made Rain stand out in the fight sequences. It kept a lot of the bad guys at a distance — Rain could whip it around and keep everyone away, and it became a little bit easier to believe that he could take on more than one or two ninjas at a time. So it did matter, both story-wise and visually.

30 NINJAS: That’s exactly what it looks like, that it’d be very effective at keeping everyone at a certain diameter away from you.

CS: That’s the great thing about Larry and Andy: If it doesn’t exist, they really tease your creative abilities to come up with something that would be very interesting or would be effective, so everyone put their heads together and came up with something that was pretty great.

비, 미국 의류업체서 CF 러브콜

입력 2009. 11. 17. 06:47 수정 2009. 11. 17. 06:47 

영화 뉴스

가수 겸 배우 비가 천문학적인 개런티를 제시한 미국 CF계의 잇따른 러브콜을 받고 있다.

비는 최근 미국의 유명 의류업체로부터 CF 모델 제안을 받았다. 전세계를 대상으로 배포되는 광고의 모델인 만큼 개런티도 천문학적인 수준인 것으로 알려졌다. 비의 측근은 "영화 <닌자 어쌔신>(감독 제인스 맥티그ㆍ수입배급 워너브러더스코리아)의 개봉을 앞두고 미국 본토에서 인기 상종가다. 최종 계약을 맺기 전이라 정확한 브랜드를 밝힐 수는 없다. CF계약은 민감한 부분이라 조심스럽게 이야기를 풀어가고 있다"고 밝혔다.

비는 이 의류업체 외에도 다수 브랜드와 CF계약을 논의 중이다. <닌자 어쌔신>이 개봉되면 비를 찾는 목소리가 더욱 높아질 전망이다. 이 관계자는 "영화의 개봉을 코앞에 두고 있는 상황이라 비는 영화 알리기에 집중하고 있다. 영화가 호평을 받으면 CF계약은 부수적으로 이뤄질 것이라 본다"고 덧붙였다.

비는 지난 11일부터 <닌자 어쌔신>의 북미 지역 프로모션을 위해 미국 워싱턴 DC로 출발했다. 비는 CNN 출연에 이어 미국 최대 규모 방송국 중 하나인 폭스TV의 간판 프로그램 <굿데이 뉴욕>의 생방송에 출연해 화제를 모았다.

Rain's become the most desired TV commercial actor in America.

Singer and actor Rain has been receiving a string of astronomical CF offers in America.

Rain's currently been offered a model from America's famous clothing manufacture. Since the CF looks at the world, it is known that the guarantee will be astronomical.

According to Rain's agency J.Tune entertainment, "Rain is now in the full flush of his popularity in the continental U.S., ahead of his hollywood movie Ninja Assassin. We can't actually express the name of the brand, because his final decision has not been yet confirmed, in addition, the advertising contract is a sensitive part, so we are considering the subject carefully."

Rain is thinking of being signed up by a lot of brands besides the clothing brand. He'll become a more desired TV commercial actor than before when the movie is released.

The official from the agencey added, "Now that he is facing the situation in which his movie is coming out, he is focusing entirely its promotion. If the movie is published to critical acclaim, there'll be a lot of CF offers incidentally."

Rain started for Washington DC in America last 11th, to promote his movie Ninja Assassin. Also, he's been spotlighted that he appeared on live 'Good Day New York', the major program of Fox TV which is one of the biggest stations in America after his appearance on CNN TV.

[17-Nov-09]Genre made mainstream in Ninja Assassin  




What’s old becomes new again in a modern-day ninja story that bends the realm of reality with anime style in Ninja Assassin, the latest by Australian director James McTeigue, who brought us the comic-based cult hit V for Vendetta and collaborated with the Wachowski brothers in The Matrix trilogy.

Metro sat down with McTeigue recently in Vancouver, who talked about his love for ninja movies, some Japanese TV influences growing up in Australia, and his take on the visual styles of B-movies of old.

“I’m a big fan of ninja movies. In Australia where I grew up, we used to get a lot of Japanese TV series, one of them called Shintaro, and Phantom Agents was another one,” he said.

“My favourite anime was Ninja Scroll. I really liked that so I wanted the aesthetic and some of the visual motifs in the film to be a cross between anime and game play.”

With Andy and Larry Wachowski onboard the production team, Ninja Assassin is an action-packed ode to martial arts films with stylized graphics and blood-spitting fight sequences, starring Korean superstar Rain as protagonist Raizo, a trained killer of the powerful Ozuno Clan of ninjas.

The graphic quality in the film like the blood splattering in the fight scenes or the shadowy figures that flash across buildings often look like it came out of anime or a game, and McTeigue says he achieved the aesthetic digitally.

“I wasn’t really interested in doing like the homages that (Quentin) Tarantino did to some of the Japanese movies,” McTeigue said. “I wasn’t really interested in doing a remake of ninja films.

“I wanted to do something that took elements from those films and craft it into a new story. So into that ninja genre, I was interested in putting in elements of film noir because it has a great use of negative space and graphic and light.

“And I think if you have ninjas resolving out of darkness all the time you can add little bits of horror in there,” he said. “And also because it is an action movie, I wanted to have mixed martial arts in there but also elements of parkour or free-running and acrobatics. So it was trying to mold all those things into the genre of the ninja movie.”

McTeigue says that what was once a subculture that belonged in the realm of nerds like comics, games and graphic novels, are now definitely part of the mainstream culture through generational changes. His next film is The Raven, an adaptation of the macabre poem by Edgar Allan Poe, a fictionalized last five days of the writer’s life. “There’s a serial killer loose in Baltimore killing people in the manner that Poe uses in his stories.”

‘닌자 어쌔신’ 비, 본보 단독인터뷰

“액션연기 기대하세요”

25일 북미 동시개봉

 

본 한국일보는 16일 오전 10시30분 월드스타 ‘비’와 토론토 다운타운의 윈저 암스 호텔(Windsor Arms Hotel·18 St. Thomas St.)에서 단독인터뷰를 가졌다. (인터뷰기사는 18일자에)

자신이 주연한 헐리웃 액션영화 ‘닌자 어쌔신’ 홍보를 위해 토론토를 찾은 비는 이날 하루 동안 주류신문과 방송 등 40여 개 언론과 인터뷰 및 사진촬영을 마친 후 17일 아침 다음 예정지인 마이애미로 출발한다. 본보는 아시아계 언론으론 유일하게 비와 단독인터뷰를 성사시켰다.

인터뷰 요청이 밀려있는 탓에 매체당 할당시간이 10분으로 제한됐음에도 본보와는 20분 이상 단독인터뷰를 가진 비는 캐나다 최대 교민신문인 한국일보 독자들만을 위한 메시지를 따로 전하는 등 한인사회에 대해 각별한 배려를 아끼지 않았다.

비는 “토론토는 첫 방문이다. 깨끗하고 잘 정돈된 느낌”이라며 “‘닌자 어쌔신’은 그간 보아왔던 것과는 차원이 다른 액션을 선보이는 영화가 될 것”이라며 “주인공 라이조는 아주 섹시한 매력의 캐릭터”라고 소개했다.

그는 이어 영화에 대한 개인적인 기대, 촬영 중 가장 힘들었던 일, 차기작 선택, 지난 2007년 무산된 토론토 공연 등 다소 민감할 수 있는 질문에도 성실하게 답해줬다.

“토론토교민 여러분, 비가 영화와 함께 찾아왔습니다. ‘닌자 어쌔신’ 많이 사랑해주세요. 조만간 가수 비로, 멋진 콘서트로 다시 찾아뵙겠습니다.”

비는 16일 오후 7시40분 다운타운 영/던다스에 있는 AMC극장에서 열리는 일반시사회를 끝으로 토론토 일정을 마무리한다. ‘닌자 어쌔신’은 오는 25일 북미 3천여 극장에서 동시개봉된다.

[Excerpt]

8. Films of Fables

[Anchor Lead]

Hollywood blockbusters have flooded Korean theaters ahead of the winter peak season after some slow summer months. But the local film industry is ready for the onslaught of big Hollywood films with a lineup of traditional Korean heroes like Hong Gil-dong and Jeon Woo-chi.

Hollywood disaster film "2012" reportedly cost more than 260 million dollars to produce. The blockbuster featuring spectacular computer graphics and interesting plot drew 1.6 million moviegoers in the first week of release. "2012" was Hollywood's first movie aimed at the holiday season. This is Korean superstar Rain's first starring role in a Hollywood film. It features endless sequences of spectacular action.

[Soundbite] Jung Ji-hoon (Actor, "Ninja Assassin") : “It's an action film. So you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen for 90 minutes.”

Korean movies are holding up against the Hollywood movies with traditional Korean characters. This film based on an old Korean novel about Korean hero Hong Gil-dong seeks to provide both inspiration and amusement.

[Soundbite] Jeong Yong-ki (Dir., "Descendants of Hong Gil-dong") : “It was hard to create the excitement of the original film.”

The first Korean-style super hero film, "The Taoist Wizard," was inspired by a Joseon-era tale of mischievous Jeon Woo-chi. These films based on Korean heroes are up against Hollywood big-budget films. Local theaters are keeping its eyes on which film will win the hearts of Korean moviegoers.
