Comic-Con 2008: Guy Ritchie, Joel Silver & Dark Castle Panel
By Kevin Kelly on July 24, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Gerard Butler and Guy Ritchie from RocknRolla, "Korean music sensation" Rain from Ninja Assassin, and producer Joel Silver come to present Dark Castle's slate.
6:08 - Last question is surprisingly for Naomi, and someone wanted to know if she’d like to play the character of Selena again. “I’d LOVE to” she says. Apparently she and Cillian Murphy were supposed to be in 28 Weeks Later, but obviously they weren’t. “I’m waiting on the third movie so I can play her again!
6:04 - Zzzzzzz. Everyone around me is falling asleep (the Rain gaggle is all up front) while waiting on Gerard Butler
6:03 - Rain is actually pretty shy, which is refreshing. He said “Well, this was a hard movie to work on. My first girlfriend was a sword, my second girlfriend was a ninja chain… they were my family!” When asked “What do you think people’s reaction will be to this movie?” He replies with “Well, I don’t know… I just am trying to do my best.” That’s about the fourth time I’ve heard him say he’s doing his best.
6:01 - Someone wanted to know if ninjas only use old school weapons in the movie, and McTeigue said yes, you won’t see them blazing away with guns.
5:59 - McTeigue is telling us how they decided to cast Rain, and throughout the explanation, whenever he says the word Rain, people go nuts. He’s a huge pop star overseas, but apparently I haven’t been watching that channel. Silver said “Jet Li told me long ago [way to name drop, Silver] that martial arts is very similar to dancing.” Which is why Rain took so well to the role.
5:56 - The first girl to ask a question says she has one question: “I love you Rain!” Which isn’t a question. She follows up with, “I’ve been following your career for a long time *giggle* and I love you *giggle* and I think you’re great.” I keep waiting on her to say she’s been watching him while he showers.
A trio of girls then gets up to ask him why he took this role, and he said “Well, I hope to meet a blonde girl!” Which appeared to be some sort of a joke. Although I have a feeling it’s probably not far from the truth.
5:54 - Here comes director James McTeigue, Naomi Harris, and… “arch rival of Stephen Colbert….RAIN!”
“Wow, it’s like mini-Twilight” someone says behind us when people start screaming for Rain.
5:51 - Now they’re on to Ninja Assassin, and when Joel Silver says the name “Rain” people go nuts. Although not quite the level of Twilight nuts that we witnessed earlier. Here’s a clip that Silver tells us is “Just for Comic-Con, so lets not talk about it to anyone else.”
“Raised to be a warrior…Trained to be a killer.” Scenes of kids training, teenagers training, adults shedding tons of blood with knives. This movie is all done in red and black, even with red and black washing machines in a laundromat scene. Someone cue the Les Miserables soundtrack. Ninjas, swords, explosions, car chases… I don’t really know what this is about, but there’s a lot of screaming and flying blood.
The ninja chucks a Chinese star at the screen, which turns into a little embellish between the words Ninja and Assassin in the logo.
