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.
Ninja Assassin was directed by James McTeigue, and produced by Joel Silver and the Wachowski brothers.[5] The project was inspired by the ninja scenes featured in the Wachowskis’ 2008 film Speed Racer, in which the actor Rain had impressed the Wachowskis with his portrayal as a fighter.[6] The Wachowskis were dissatisfied with the original script, and hired J. Michael Straczynski to write a new draft for the film six weeks before it began production. As he was told the script had to be sent out to the actors by the end of the week, Straczynski completed the rewrite in 53 hours
