11.19.09 Movie Q&A: Rain with NOW Magazine
The man they call Rain enters the Windsor Arms suite
quietly, escorted by a retinue of half a dozen people – manager,
stylists, studio minder, translator. He’s dressed elegantly but simply –
except for a diamond-encrusted wristwatch, which I’m pretty sure cost
more than my car.
Rain is a superstar in his native Korea, a pop idol and an actor who’s appeared in several films, including Park Chan-wook’s quirky romance I’m A Cyborg (But That’s OK), but he’s virtually unknown in the West.
Well, he used to be, until Stephen Colbert created a (fake) rivalry with the pop star over their positions at the top of Time Magazine’s online Top 100 list in 2008.
That was right around the time Rain popped up as one of the many international cast members in the Wachowski brothers’ Speed Racer, which led directly to a title role in their next production, Ninja Assassin.
That’s how he ended up in Toronto, talking about slashing stuntmen, how martial arts is a lot like dancing, and singing in Korean.
You look very different in Ninja Assassin than you did in I’m A Cyborg or Speed Racer. Working out?
I needed to make my body fit, like Bruce Lee. I trained for eight months, five days a week, eight hours a day, over and over and over again. I ate just chicken breasts and vegetables – it was terrible. And I learned a lot of martial arts – tae kwon do, tai chi, kick-boxing, karate, and kung fu with swords and double swords, shuriken, chains – a lot. It was fun!
The film’s stunt choreography is very fluid, and in some scenes it almost looks like you’re dancing with your opponents, like in a musical number. You’ve done some dancing onstage – were you able to draw from that?
The dancing helped. Dancing and martial arts are very similar. And I had role models: Bruce Lee and Jet Li. I really love Bruce Lee and Jet Li and Jackie Chan movies – they’re my heroes. But I’m powerful, I’m faster, I’m younger than them.
The Wachowskis didn’t stop with just one Matrix, and Ninja Assassin leaves the door open for a sequel. Would you put yourself through the training regimen again?
I haven’t decided yet.
What’s next? Another movie, or back to the recording studio?
I’d like to do everything. A romance, or another action film. Or an album, just in Asia or worldwide. I haven’t decided yet, but very soon. I want to focus on Ninja Assassin for now because it is very important to me. After that, I have a concert in Las Vegas on Christmas Day.
Does the Ninja Assassin press tour include a stop at The Colbert Report?
I wanna be on the show again. It was fun. It was a great experience.

11.19.09 Assassin’s Creed
In Ninja Assassin, Rain plays Raizo who is picked up from the streets and trained to be an assassin by the Ozunu Clan. However, he disagrees with the extreme practices of the clan leader and turns rogue. Directed by James McTiegue and produced by the Wachowski Brothers who directed Rain in Speed Racer, (he was the second lead) the film is practically a splatter fest with detailed meditations on the various ways a human body can be sliced and diced.
“The Wachowski Brothers told me ‘forget being a pop star. Be a gladiator’.” Of the extreme violence the Asian heartthrob said: “Men will like the movie and women will like it as well as they can de-stress watching it after a hard day at work.”
Though Speed Racer did not perform as well as expected, the artiste with four hit albums under his belt, says the movie opened many doors for him. “I hope Ninja Assassin does well as it would give opportunities for Korean actors. However, irrespective of how the movie fares, it will hold a special place in my heart as I worked very hard on it.”
Raizo’s weapon of choice is a lethal chain with wicked blades at the end of it, which Rain claims was a creative decision by the makers. Raizo is the classic anti-hero and Rain insists “the days of separation between good and evil in the hero are over.” For inspiration, Rain says he has watched “many Jackie Chan movies. But Raizo is not an imitation of Jackie Chan, he is a whole new character.”
The 24-year-old actor went through a punishing training schedule for his role. “It was an intense eight months and I craved salt and sugar. I missed Korean food, French fries and hamburgers. All the scenes were tough, but the diet was the toughest. Several times I wanted to go back but I carried on. I had to overwork my body to maintain my physique. Now I am more concerned with mental and physical health rather than just building my body.”
Elaborating about his punishing shooting schedule, Rain said: “I got hurt many times. I have a lot of cuts and bruises. But they are cuts of honour.”
Called South Korea’s Justin Timberlake by Megan Fox, Rain said he did “90 per cent of the stunts. There was a bare minimum of wire work for balance. I had to keep myself light and body fat down to almost zero. When the stunt team would say Matt Damon can do better, my sense of pride made me want to show them what I could do.”
When asked about the similarities between himself and Raizo, Rain said with a smile: “Raizo is an introvert while I am an extrovert. I like to be around people. We are similar in that we are focussed. I am disciplined and don’t put off stuff that needs to be done for later.”
The movie ends with Raizo looking out to the blue yonder — so does that signal a sequel? “There have been talks of a sequel but it will depend on the audience liking this film.”
The interview was conducted in Korean with a translator with Rain rather charmingly commenting that he “is learning English even as we speak. I find it easier to give detailed answers in Korean. For the movie, the coach helped me especially with expressions.”
The actor who said he would love to work with James Cameron and Al Pacino, said his plus point when compared to other Asian stars who have crossed over to Hollywood, is “I am younger and so time is on my side.”
Ninja Assassin is being released in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu on November 27.

[19-Nov-09]Meet the Movie Star of the Future
Now he has his first starring role in an American movie: Ninja Assassins. The Warner Bros film, which hits theaters Nov. 25, tells the story of a ninja who seeks revenge against his teacher and fellow ninjas after they kill the girl he loves.
Studios would do well to pay attention. The film could serve as a roadmap for the kind of mid-budget movies they’ll need to be making in the coming years. Expensive movie stars no longer guarantee a film will be a hit. Just look at recent box office stinkers like Land of the Lost (starring Will Ferrell) and The Box (starring Cameron Diaz). DVD sales, which once protected studios against losses on mediocre films, continue to slide. And ticket sales are no longer just about how a film performs in the U.S.
Ninja Assassin is a global movie by design. Its violence has an almost universal appeal among young men, so the film, which cost a modest $30 million to produce, should perform well in the U.S. It is being strategically released against the female-leaning vampire flick New Moon.
Then there’s the overseas market. Rain’s millions of fans in Asia will no doubt shell out good money to see him fight on the big screen. Most of the movie takes place in Berlin (which offered the filmmakers excellent tax credits) and the other stars are British which gives the movie European appeal.
“It’s critical for the studios to have a mixed cast and use foreign locations,” says Ashok Amritraj of Hyde Park Entertainment, an independent production company that specializes in films with cross-border appeal. “The box office revenue overseas has suddenly eclipsed the domestic box office.”
Rain came to the attention of producer Joel Silver when he was filming Speed Racer. The film turned out to be a disaster for Warner Bros but Silver and his directors, the Wachowski Brothers, saw potential in Rain, who had a small role in the film.
“We wanted to find a way to create a star like Bruce Lee or even Steven Segal,” says Silver. “Rain is charismatic and because of his dance training he can fight as well as anyone. He fulfilled all our hopes and dreams.”
Silver, who has a 15-picture guaranteed deal with Warner Bros through his genre production company, Dark Castle, quickly decided to create a martial arts film as a vehicle for Rain. He brought on director James McTeigue who directed V for Vendetta and had done second unit work on Speed Racer.
Rain has few lines in the movie. He’s a mysterious character who mostly lets his weapons do the talking. That should also help the film overseas. And he worked cheap. He might be huge in Asia, but in the U.S. he’s not even big enough to be featured in promotional material for the film. The poster for Ninja Assassin features Rain but half of his face is off the page.
If the movie is a hit, expect studios to focus even more development dollars on films aimed at an international audience. Rain might become the model for the modern movie star.
Says Silver: “As the business becomes more international and we’re looking for international growth, it’s nice to find someone like Rain who can travel.”

11.19.09 Rain hopes for a shower of Ninja stardom
The Korean pop-star-turned-actor Rain (real name, Jeong Ji-hoon) is ready for Hollywood stardom. He’s willing to put in the work. He’s patient.
“It’s still not easy to make your mark, as an Asian actor or singer in America,” Rain says. “If I do my best, Americans will love me, too! I want to challenge myself to see where my limit is. If I do my best, over and over again, I will succeed. I know it.”
So what if Speed Racer, the first big Hollywood film the 27-year-old appeared in, wasn’t a smash? He’s back, pounding at the door with Ninja Assassins. He plays – wait for it – a ninja assassin, or rather an anti-assassin, a former ninja who defends those targeted by ninjas from the ninjas. And he has suffered for his art.
“I had to make my body fit, like Bruce Lee,” he says. “I trained for eight months, five days a week, eight hours a day. I ate only chicken breast and vegetables; no sugar, no salt, none of my favorite foods. It was horrible!
“I learned a bit of many different types of martial arts – kung fu, taekwondo, tai chi, kick boxing, karate, karate with swords, chains, shuriken (throwing stars), kusarigama (dagger-chains), ninja tactics. The stunt men on the set, they looked out for me. But with those sharp weapons, I could hurt myself even more easily than they could hurt me.”
It took some doing to sculpt the six-hit-albums singer into a lean, mean ninja machine, the loner Raizo, who left that old world of discipline and murder behind. The script gets away with a “He looks more like a boy band singer” than a ninja wisecrack only because Rain is so ripped. But that training regimen, those muscles, don’t mean he’s giving up the day job.
“I should be able to do both. I plan to concentrate on both” singing and acting, he says. Always good to have a plan B, with the chance of trade publications like Variety ( “Rain conjures only a mild drizzle as Raizo”) panning the film and his work in it. But Rain plans to stick with his game plan, pursuing Hollywood work with a vengeance. He hopes, too, that this work might even attract the attention of the most famous director back home. The filmmaker he’d most like to work with?
“Oh, Park Chan-wook” (Old Boy), he says.

The Scene: Samy K vs. the Ninja Assassin
Whether you know him as an international pop star or as the new star of "Ninja Assassin," I had the amazing opportunity to meet and interview him for this week's Scene. Rain, as he's known worldwide, is a dancer/singer/actor/clothing designer/stud from Korea who has taken over Asia and is making his debut on American screens next week.
We got a chance to preview the movie last week and I can honestly say it's one of the most kick ass, blood spurting movies I've ever laid eyes upon. Being a chubby unathletic white man I now have a slight man crush on Rain after seeing him do a hand stand push up on a bed of nails (no CGI added!!!!!) Now enough of my ranting... I'll let you watch the interview already and gush all you want.

JMS Takes on "Ninja Assassin"
J. Michael Straczynski is, quite literally, taking Hollywood by storm. And this time around, he's taking Rain along for the ride.
The genre-driving writer, known by JMS to his fans, has teamed-up with genre-bending moviemakers Andy and Larry Wachowski (The "Matrix" Trilogy) for "Ninja Assassin," a "strictly popcorn, but good popcorn" movie coming to theaters across North America November 25.
"Ninja Assassin" showcases the cinematic chops of South Korean pop star Rain, who plays Raizo, one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, Raizo was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. Haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free to exact his revenge.
Six weeks before director James McTeigue ("V for Vendetta") was to begin filming, the Wachowski brothers decided that the movie's screenplay needed some additional work done and brought in JMS, who created genre TV classic "Babylon 5, for a rapid re-write. And rapid it was: JMS delivered the new script in 53 hours.
JMS currently has a flood of film scripts in active development, collaborating with Hollywood heavyweights like Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Jerry Bruckheimer and Joel Silver. Over the last decade, the Hollywood writer transitioned to comics, as well, penning critically acclaimed runs on "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Fantastic Four" and "Thor" for Marvel Comics. Currently, he's writing "The Brave and The Bold" for DC Comics.
In anticipation of the release of "Ninja Assassin,", we checked in with JMS and while he shared details of how the script came together so fast and how he hooked up with the makers of "The Matrix" in the first place, he also told CBR News exclusively that he has a project involving Superman coming in 2010.
But while the director of "Ninja Assassin" has been in the news this week saying he'd love to reimagine the Man of Steel for Warner Bros., JMS says his upcoming Superman project is not a movie script and will, instead, come from DC Comics.
CBR News: The legend goes that you wrote the script for "Ninja Assassin" in 53 hours. Is that some sort of Guinness World Record?
JMS: I don't know if it's a world record, but yeah, it's true. I was lucky to have had a long talk - a couple of hours at least - with the Wachowskis before starting, so we could lock down what it needed to accomplish.
Was this 53 hours straight, or was it three 17-hour days?
I started Tuesday evening, and delivered it on Friday morning. I got about two hours sleep per night. This is where my training in television paid off, because you learn to figure out what it is you want to say, and say it quickly and precisely. More than one "Babylon 5" script was written in a single night, and oddly, the quicker the write, the better the script, because I don't question or second-guess myself as much. The longer it takes me to write a script, the more it sucks.
Understanding you came in on the project quite late, did you have to make some sacrifices in terms of storytelling, what with the limited time you had to work, or did you truly just find a story you wanted to tell and it flowed?
My job was to really interpret what the Wachowskis wanted to see in the script, and give that to them. Once I grokked that, the rest came fairly smoothly.
You hadn't worked with the Wachowskis before "Ninja Assassin," but were you a fan of their brand of filmmaking?
Absolutely. I'm a tremendous fan of the "Matrix" movies, as well as their later films. I think in the "Matrix" they invented a new cinematic vocabulary, and created a whole, consistent universe, and as someone who's done that, I know how hard it is.
Historically, the Wachowskis work from their own scripts. What were they like to work with as a writer?
The Wachowskis are probably the most generous, considerate, easy-going and professional folks you can ever hope to meet. They have these twelve-story brains, which can sometimes be intimidating, but beneath it, they're just really genuine, honest, nice folks, utterly unpretentious and about as non-Hollywood as you can get. So they were very welcoming and collaborative in this process.
How is it that the Wachowskis approached you for the re-write? Are they big "Babylon 5" fans?
I was invited to the premiere of the last "Matrix" movie. I didn't know who'd invited me. I heard from my agent [that] it was someone on the show, but that's all we knew. I showed up and ended up sitting right next to the Wachowskis, and found out that they were the ones who issued the invitation, as they were both big "B5" fans, and fans of my comics work. We've been friends ever since. They're just two of the nicest folks I know.
Did you remain involved in the process once filming started?
I was welcomed to be as involved as I wanted, and the Wachowskis, as well as the director, James McTiegue, were very open. I was on set for a brief period in Berlin, but had to get back to finish other work. Then I saw and worked with James on the final cut. Again, they couldn't have been more generous.
We know from the internet roughly what the story is about but what additional insight into the movie can you share with us?
A number of folks have mentioned that the title is redundant, since often Ninjas are assassins, but that's not the point of the film. It's about an assassin that goes after Ninjas - and if you're going to do that for a living, you'd better be freaking good at it.
It's just about everything you'd want to see in a film with that title: lots of really cool action, a nonstop pace, some fun character moments and great effects. It's strictly popcorn, but good popcorn, and the first Western film to take Ninjas seriously in a long, long, very long time.
And what about writing for Rain? He made his name as a pop singer but he really impressed moviegoers with his work in "Speed Racer."
I didn't have much interaction with Rain. He was shooting with one unit in Berlin while I was hanging with the Wachowskis on the other unit. I didn't have a lot of time to spend there, so I wanted to spend it with them.
What other movie projects are you working on right now? Your entry IMDB entry has genre fans salivating as it lists "Shattered Union," "Lensman," "World War Z," "Forbidden Planet," "The Flickering Light" as ‘In Development.' Are these projects still all active? Not to mention, "They Marched Into Sunlight?"
Yeah, those are all still in the works, though Playtone isn't sure if now is the right time politically for "Sunlight." "WWZ" is coming along well, I'm working on the next draft of "Lensman," I'm going to be turning in the current draft of "Forbidden Planet," I'll be starting the script for "Shattered Union" over the Christmas break, and we're looking for a director for "Flickering Light."
I'm also writing a pilot for the FOX Network, which is a mainstream drama/thriller.
And what about your work for DC? You're currently writing "The Brave and The Bold" but is anything else forthcoming in 2010?
There's something I'm writing that'll be coming in late 2010 that should be of interest to a lot of folks, and it does have something to do with Superman - in graphic form, not film - but that's all I can say about it pending any announcements from DC, which should come in the next month or so

What does it take to be a Ninja assassin? Well… ask famous Korean Pop star Rain
One would have thought that Korea’s top R&B artiste and pop singer, Rain, would have chosen a musical to make a splashy Hollywood debut as leading man rather than the ultra violent Ninja Assassin. Talking about his choice of debut at the movie promotion in Seoul, he explained: “Ever since I was a little child, I have wanted to be an action movie star. I studied Taekwondo. I like to challenge myself. I saw no reason to refuse the offer. I have always been interested in ninjas and their secret ways.”In Ninja Assassin, Rain plays Raizo who is picked up from the streets and trained to be an assassin by the Ozunu Clan. However, he disagrees with the extreme practices of the clan leader and turns rogue. Directed by James McTiegue and produced by the Wachowski Brothers who directed Rain in Speed Racer, (he was the second lead) the film is practically a splatter fest with detailed meditations on the various ways a human body can be sliced and diced.
“The Wachowski Brothers told me ‘forget being a pop star. Be a gladiator’.” Of the extreme violence the Asian heartthrob said: “Men will like the movie and women will like it as well as they can de-stress watching it after a hard day at work.”

[19-Nov-09]Meet the Movie Star of the Future
Why ”Ninja Assassin” and its lead actor, Rain, could just be the perfect movie model for tough times…
LOS ANGELES — Chances are you’ve never heard of Jeong Ji-hoon, better known as Rain. But the 27-year-old South Korean pop star is one of the most famous people in Asia. His 2005 album, It’s Raining, sold more than 1 million copies. In 2006 he topped a Time Magazine online poll of the most influential people in the world (beating out an angry Stephen Colbert.)Now he has his first starring role in an American movie: Ninja Assassins. The Warner Bros film, which hits theaters Nov. 25, tells the story of a ninja who seeks revenge against his teacher and fellow ninjas after they kill the girl he loves.
Studios would do well to pay attention. The film could serve as a roadmap for the kind of mid-budget movies they’ll need to be making in the coming years.

Taken from the streets as a child, Raizo was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. Haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free to exact his revenge.
Six weeks before director James McTeigue ("V for Vendetta") was to begin filming, the Wachowski brothers decided that the movie's screenplay needed some additional work done and brought in JMS, who created genre TV classic "Babylon 5, for a rapid re-write. And rapid it was: JMS delivered the new script in 53 hours.
JMS currently has a flood of film scripts in active development, collaborating with Hollywood heavyweights like Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Ron Howard, Jerry Bruckheimer and Joel Silver. Over the last decade, the Hollywood writer transitioned to comics, as well, penning critically acclaimed runs on "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Fantastic Four" and "Thor" for Marvel Comics. Currently, he's writing "The Brave and The Bold" for DC Comics.
In anticipation of the release of "Ninja Assassin,", we checked in with JMS and while he shared details of how the script came together so fast and how he hooked up with the makers of "The Matrix" in the first place, he also told CBR News exclusively that he has a project involving Superman coming in 2010.
But while the director of "Ninja Assassin" has been in the news this week saying he'd love to reimagine the Man of Steel for Warner Bros., JMS says his upcoming Superman project is not a movie script and will, instead, come from DC Comics.
CBR News: The legend goes that you wrote the script for "Ninja Assassin" in 53 hours. Is that some sort of Guinness World Record?
JMS: I don't know if it's a world record, but yeah, it's true. I was lucky to have had a long talk - a couple of hours at least - with the Wachowskis before starting, so we could lock down what it needed to accomplish.
Was this 53 hours straight, or was it three 17-hour days?
I started Tuesday evening, and delivered it on Friday morning. I got about two hours sleep per night. This is where my training in television paid off, because you learn to figure out what it is you want to say, and say it quickly and precisely. More than one "Babylon 5" script was written in a single night, and oddly, the quicker the write, the better the script, because I don't question or second-guess myself as much. The longer it takes me to write a script, the more it sucks.
Understanding you came in on the project quite late, did you have to make some sacrifices in terms of storytelling, what with the limited time you had to work, or did you truly just find a story you wanted to tell and it flowed?
My job was to really interpret what the Wachowskis wanted to see in the script, and give that to them. Once I grokked that, the rest came fairly smoothly.
You hadn't worked with the Wachowskis before "Ninja Assassin," but were you a fan of their brand of filmmaking?
Absolutely. I'm a tremendous fan of the "Matrix" movies, as well as their later films. I think in the "Matrix" they invented a new cinematic vocabulary, and created a whole, consistent universe, and as someone who's done that, I know how hard it is.
Historically, the Wachowskis work from their own scripts. What were they like to work with as a writer?
The Wachowskis are probably the most generous, considerate, easy-going and professional folks you can ever hope to meet. They have these twelve-story brains, which can sometimes be intimidating, but beneath it, they're just really genuine, honest, nice folks, utterly unpretentious and about as non-Hollywood as you can get. So they were very welcoming and collaborative in this process.
How is it that the Wachowskis approached you for the re-write? Are they big "Babylon 5" fans?
I was invited to the premiere of the last "Matrix" movie. I didn't know who'd invited me. I heard from my agent [that] it was someone on the show, but that's all we knew. I showed up and ended up sitting right next to the Wachowskis, and found out that they were the ones who issued the invitation, as they were both big "B5" fans, and fans of my comics work. We've been friends ever since. They're just two of the nicest folks I know.
Did you remain involved in the process once filming started?
I was welcomed to be as involved as I wanted, and the Wachowskis, as well as the director, James McTiegue, were very open. I was on set for a brief period in Berlin, but had to get back to finish other work. Then I saw and worked with James on the final cut. Again, they couldn't have been more generous.
We know from the internet roughly what the story is about but what additional insight into the movie can you share with us?
A number of folks have mentioned that the title is redundant, since often Ninjas are assassins, but that's not the point of the film. It's about an assassin that goes after Ninjas - and if you're going to do that for a living, you'd better be freaking good at it.
It's just about everything you'd want to see in a film with that title: lots of really cool action, a nonstop pace, some fun character moments and great effects. It's strictly popcorn, but good popcorn, and the first Western film to take Ninjas seriously in a long, long, very long time.
And what about writing for Rain? He made his name as a pop singer but he really impressed moviegoers with his work in "Speed Racer."
I didn't have much interaction with Rain. He was shooting with one unit in Berlin while I was hanging with the Wachowskis on the other unit. I didn't have a lot of time to spend there, so I wanted to spend it with them.
What other movie projects are you working on right now? Your entry IMDB entry has genre fans salivating as it lists "Shattered Union," "Lensman," "World War Z," "Forbidden Planet," "The Flickering Light" as ‘In Development.' Are these projects still all active? Not to mention, "They Marched Into Sunlight?"
Yeah, those are all still in the works, though Playtone isn't sure if now is the right time politically for "Sunlight." "WWZ" is coming along well, I'm working on the next draft of "Lensman," I'm going to be turning in the current draft of "Forbidden Planet," I'll be starting the script for "Shattered Union" over the Christmas break, and we're looking for a director for "Flickering Light."
I'm also writing a pilot for the FOX Network, which is a mainstream drama/thriller.
And what about your work for DC? You're currently writing "The Brave and The Bold" but is anything else forthcoming in 2010?
There's something I'm writing that'll be coming in late 2010 that should be of interest to a lot of folks, and it does have something to do with Superman - in graphic form, not film - but that's all I can say about it pending any announcements from DC, which should come in the next month or so

11.19.09 Killer Role
Highlight Quote: “The nationality doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have a girlfriend now and that makes me so sad. I’d want to walk in the streets with my girlfriend, very soon.” -Rain
Korean heartthrob Rain plays a deadly assassin for hire in his first Hollywood leading role in Ninja Assassin.
NINJA Assassin would not have been made without Rain. This was echoed by director James McTeigue and producers Joel Silver, Grant Hill and the Wachowski brothers – Andy and Larry.
The Korean pop star may have only had a supporting role as top race car driver Taejo Togokhan in his Hollywood debut in the Wachowski brothers’ Speed Racer, but he made such an impression on them in his very first scene that they started to plan their next film with him in mind.
“Speed Racer may not have been as much the blockbuster hit we wanted for it to be, but it was my first exposure to Hollywood and opened many doors for me,” said Rain in a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, recently.
The Wachowski brothers gushed about Rain’s natural on-screen charisma to Silver while McTeigue (V For Vendetta) raved about his physical abilities and the 27-year-old actor was well on his way to his first Hollywood starring role in Ninja Assassin.
Rain remembers clearly how Larry and Andy approached him and asked if he would be interested in being a ninja. “How could I say no to that? I told them, ‘Tell me where and when and I’ll be there.’ ”
Roping in legendary stunt choreographers Chad Stahelski and Dave Leitch who have worked with the producers since their The Matrix days, the filmmakers visualised stunning martial arts sequences with Rain as the central character.
The film production was conducted at Babelsburg Studios, by far Europe’s largest film studio, which is a short drive from Berlin, Germany.
In the movie, Rain plays a ninja named Raizo who is one of several deadly assassins for hire. Plucked from the streets as a child, he is trained to be a cold-blooded killer by the Ozunu clan, a secret society considered to be a myth by many.
However, he is continually haunted by the merciless execution of his childhood friend Kiriko by the clan. So, he decides to break free from them and make it his life mission to stop their evil plans.
The movie also stars Naomie Harris (Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End) and Sho Koshugi (Revenge Of The Ninja).
The veteran Japanese martial arts star portrays the sensei of the Ozunu clan, while Harris plays Europol agent Mika Coretti whose investigation leads her to uncover an underground network of assassins from the Far East who would take out political leaders for a hundred pounds of gold.
During the hour-long press conference to promote Ninja Assassin in Seoul, the room was packed with media and the cameras never stopped flashing and fingers were heard tapping on keyboards throughout.
Such was Rain’s appeal that every smile he beamed and every move he made prompted a frenzy of clicking by all the photojournalists present.
At the round table interview which followed, he was ever the charmer and continually entertained international journalists with a cheeky sense of humour and a disarming smile.
After making Speed Racer last year, Rain did not have any problem adjusting to the American filming styles in his first Hollywood starring role.
“In the beginning, I was a bit nervous because it was my first time and I thought it would be really grand. But it wasn’t difficult at all because the process was really well-organised. All I needed to do was follow the steps, so it was quite enjoyable.
“I had a coach to help me with my lines all the time. But, the major concern of director James and producers Andy and Larry were my facial expressions and internal acting.
“I was asked to work a lot on facial expressions, like raising my eyebrows, and showing my feelings.”
Working with the renowned Wachowski brothers, Rain said what impressed him most were their excellent powers of imagination and also that they could create what they imagined.
Korean media pointed out that the story of Ninja Assassin included several elements of Korean culture, among them the assassination of the last Empress of Korea and some period TV dramas.
“During pre-production and filming, I talked to them a lot about Korean culture and told them about some interesting Korean TV series. But, I actually didn’t know of any Korean elements until I saw them during the first screening of the movie,” Rain exclaimed.
Lucky breaks
The lanky actor made his film debut in Korean romantic comedy Ssaibogeujiman Gwaenchanha (I’m A Cyborg But That’s OK, 2006).
The wacky film directed by Park Chan-wook won the Alfred Bauer Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2007 while Rain won the best new actor award at the 43rd Baek Sang Awards for what remains to be his only Korean film.
Born in Seoul as Jung Ji-hoon, Rain came to be known as Bi (the Korean version of his stage name) when he made his singing debut in 2002. He has since released five Korean albums and one Japanese album.
“Everyone has three lucky breaks in life,” Rain offered.
For him, the first was meeting his former manager and mentor Park Jin-young who helped launch his music career and make him a big star in Asia. The second was meeting Wachowski brothers, who offered him his first Hollywood leading role in Ninja Assassin.
A sequel is said to be on the cards but Rain said he is unable to comment as much of the information is classified but added that “everything depends on the response to the movie”.
Calling his ninja assassin persona a sexy character, Rain said he loved playing the tough Raizo.
For the actor who has wanted to be in a martial arts movie since he was a kid, Ninja Assassin was a dream come true.
“I grew up watching movies by Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. I loved Police Story and Enter The Dragon. I also loved watching Korean-style action movies as a kid.
“An example is Janggunui Adeul (The General’s Son).” The early 90s actioner was an award-winning trilogy directed by Im Kwon-taek and produced by Lee Tae-won.
Though he is greatly inspired by Hong Kong action stars like Chan and the late Lee, Rain is eager to carve out his own path as a martial arts star. “I can’t be a copy.”
Like his fellow Korean stars – Jun Ji-hyun (Blood: The Last Vampire), Jang Dong-gun (The Warrior’s Way), Lee Byung-hun (GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra) – who have similarly made their Hollywood debut in action movies, Rain is happy to further his film career as an action star yet hopes to expand his range. “Given an opportunity, I would also like to star in a romantic comedy.”
Fast, furious action
The action in the movie was fast and furious and the actor had ample opportunities to showcase his killer bod which, though covered in scars, showed how much work he put into body conditioning.
“I trained really, really very hard – eight hours a day for eight months and I learnt a lot of martial arts.”
This included Taekwondo, kung fu, movement training, weapons training and sword training.
“I performed most of the stunts and action scenes. Wire action was kept to a minimum and only used to help maintain balance and to avoid injury.”
As a ninja assassin, he wields all manner of weapons – shuriken, nunchaku, wooden staff, double swords and chain whip.
Which one of the weapons did he like best?
Without any hesitation, the peace-loving star declared: “I hate all of them.”
As his character is armed with oriental weapons and has miraculous self-healing powers, he is like a modern superhero.
When probed further on which weapon he would choose if he had to, he replied: “I loved the chain, which is a very different type of weapon. It’s a new style.”
Then he added excitedly: “Did you see that, in my movie? How was it?” When the media replied it looked cool, he beamed: “Thank you.”
And yes, for an actioner as furious as Ninja Assassin, scrapes and bruises were inevitable. “I’m lucky that I didn’t break any bones. I had some cuts but I prefer to think of them as cuts of honour.”
In the movie, he even had to do handstands on a bed of nails and everyone was curious whether he did it for real.
“That was so hard,” Rain teased, “but no, it was not real. It was just a green box and computer graphics. But, I practised standing upside down for a few months for that scene.
“Nothing was easy about shooting the film as we couldn’t waste any time. Everything had to be done as scheduled.”
Yet, when asked what was the hardest part of making the movie, Rain spoke of his bland and boring diet.
“The hardest part was the food. I never ate any sugar or salt for eight months. It was really hard. I really craved for Korean food, spicy stuff. It was horrible.
“I had to make my body light like Bruce Lee and reduce my body fat to almost zero. I ate only chicken breast and vegetables,” Rain shared.
But, don’t feel too sorry for him. Right after filming wrapped, he headed for McDonald’s. “I had hamburgers, french fries and Coke. It was heaven.”
But Rain’s super-intensive training meant that his body changed so much that dressing him posed a problem to costume designer Carlo Poggioli.
Although the initial fitting was only a few months away from the start of filming, Rain had bulked up so much that his clothes had to be made a lot bigger.
And, due to the number of stunts, the costume department, which initially planned some 12 to 20 ninja suits, had to eventually make up to 200 pieces – using up at least 100 for blood-spattered scenes alone.
Life’s a roller coaster
As with all healthy young Korean men, Rain is due to report for a two-year compulsory military service, but he prefers not to think too much about it.
“As of now, I’m involved in so many important things. I want to concentrate on them.
“When the time comes, I’ll go with the flow.”
Like his character in the movie, his own life was a roller coaster and he had to make difficult choices.
“When it comes down to that, I try to be positive and look on the bright side. When I make a decision, I go for it.”
The time he spent trying to make it in Hollywood was tough. Several times he felt as if he had reached his limit. “I felt like I wanted to go back to Asia and resume work on my music and acting there.”
But the tenacious entertainer persevered. It was his late mother and his promise to his fans that kept him going. “Four years ago, I promised my fans that I would do something truly great.”
The long hours of filming – starting at 7am – were difficult for Rain but thoughts of his loving mother made him work harder.
“She would wake up at daybreak, work hard all day, come home at midnight and continue working till 2am. She did all this for my sister and me. Just thinking of her kept me going.”
His mother passed away in 2000, when they were very poor.
“If my mother were still alive today, I’d give her all the comforts in life that she never got to enjoy.”
Rain says he hasn’t decided on his next film project but is now on his Legend Of Rainism concert tour which includes stops in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, China and Las Vegas.
Earlier this year, he was named goodwill ambassador by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, and serves as the global publicity ambassador for the city of Seoul.
After leaving JYP Entertainment two years ago, he set up his own entertainment company, J Tune Entertainment (formerly Rainy Entertainment).
His company recently signed on a five-member boyband named MBLAQ, which made its debut at his Legend Of Rainism concert last month. One of the band members, Joon, plays the teen version of Rain’s character in Ninja Assassin.
Rain launched his own fashion label Six to Five (which some say refers to his birthdate June 25) last December and he even designs and models the clothes.
The dashing star, who once dated a Korean model, is now unattached.
So, does he have a preference for Korean girls or would he date foreign girls?
“The nationality doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have a girlfriend now and that makes me so sad. I’d want to walk in the streets with my girlfriend, very soon.”

포브스 "비, 미래의 할리우드 스타" 호평
2009-11-20 13:50:56
[마이데일리 = 강지훈 기자] 미국 경제 잡지 '포브스'가 한류스타 비를 미래의 할리우드 스타라고 높이 평가해 눈길을 끌었다.
포브스는 20일(한국시간) 인터넷판을 통해 '미래의 무비 스타를 만나다(Meet The Movie Star of The Future)'라는 제호의 기사를 통해 할리우드 첫 주연작 '닌자 어쌔신'의 개봉을 앞 둔 비를 조망했다.
"당신은 '정지훈'이란 이름을 결코 들어본 적 없을 지 모르만 '비'라는 이름으로 더 유명한 이 27세의 한국 팝스타는 100만장 넘는 음반 판매고와 '타임' 설문 조사에서 1위에 오른 아시아에서 가장 유명한 인물"이라고 비를 소개한 이 기사는 "비와 그의 첫 할리우드 주연작 '닌자 어쌔신'은 경제 불황 시기에 완벽한 영화의 모델이 될 수 있을 것(could just be the perfect movie model for tough times)"이라고 호평했다.
또 "3000만 달러 제작비의 '닌자 어쌔신'은 영화사들이 향후 만들어야 하는 중규모 예산 영화의 로드맵을 제공하고 있다"며 "카메론 디아즈나 윌 패렐의 작품이 흥행에 실패한 최근 박스오피스를 보더라도 이제 더이상 값비싼 할리우드 스타들이 흥행을 보장해 주는 시대는 끝났다"고 덧붙였다. 포브스는 이 기사에 앞서 출연료에 비해 효율이 떨어지는 할리우드 스타들로 윌 페렐이나 이완 맥그리거 등을 꼽은 바 있다.
제작자 조엘 실버는 인터뷰에서 "우리는 이소룡이나 스티븐 시걸 같은 액션 스타를 찾기 원했다"며 "비는 카리스마가 넘치고 춤을 굉장히 잘 추기 때문에 격투도 능했다. 그는 우리의 희망과 꿈을 모두 이뤄냈다"고 극찬했다.

포브스 “비, 국제 영화시장에 적합”
포브스 “비, 국제 영화시장에 적합”
경제지 포브스가 할리우드 영화 ‘닌자 어쌔신’의 주연배우 비(본명 정지훈)를 미래 영화 산업에 적합한 스타로 지목하고 자세히 조명했다.
포브스는 ‘미래의 스타를 만나다’라는 제목의 19일자 기사로 비가 국제 영화시장에서 가지는 가치를 분석했다. 특히 아시아의 넓은 팬층과 비교적 낮은 출연료에 주목했다.
비를 “아시아에서 가장 잘 알려진 인물 중 하나”라고 설명한 포브스는 이어 “영화 수익은 단순히 미국 내 흥행에만 국한되지 않는다.”고 현재 상황과 관련지으며 의미를 부여했다.
또 최근 할리우드 스타들의 흥행 실패 사례를 들고 “닌자 어쌔신은 영화들의 나아갈 길이 될 수 있다. 출연료가 높은 배우들이 영화를 흥행시켜 주지 않는다.”며 ‘투자 대비 효용’ 측면에서 비의 가치를 높게 평가했다.
포브스는 닌자 어쌔신이 액션 중심으로 구성된 점을 언급하며 “이 영화는 기획 단계부터 세계시장을 겨냥했다. 액션은 선세계 젊은이들에게 보편적으로 어필할 수 있는 요소”라고 분석했다.
이어 “비는 카리스마가 있고, 춤으로 훈련돼 있어 액션도 잘 소화해 냈다.”는 제작자 조엘 실버의 말을 인용해 비가 적합한 인물임을 설명했다.
포브스는 “비의 수백만 아시아 팬들이 그가 싸우는 모습을 큰 스크린으로 보기 위해 돈을 지불할 것”이라며 비의 티켓파워를 기대하기도 했다.
한편 비의 닌자 액션 연기로 기대를 모은 닌자 어쌔신은 오는 11월 26일 전세계에서 동시에 개봉한다.
