Collin Chou
Remember that dude from The Matrix trilogy who watched over the Oracle? Well, his name is Collin Chou and he will be one of four leads in a new fantasy ninja film from Matrix creators Larry and Andy Wachowski.
Collin Chou for Ninja Assassin
According to Sci Fi Wire, Collin Chou will play one of the title characters in what is currently being called Ninja Assassin.
"I don't think I'm supposed to talk about it, but I am working with the Wachowski brothers next month, and I look forward to working with them again on a major movie," Chou said in an interview at the Wizard World convention in Los Angeles over the weekend. "It will be in Berlin." As for the film's title, Chou said: "I don't know if that's the final name yet." Chou played Seraph in the Wachowskis' Matrix films.
Chou also confirmed a longstanding rumor that he is playing a role that Jet Li turned down. "I have to say that I'm constantly grateful to Jet Li, and I thank him all the time, but that is personal," Chou joked. (Chou co-stars with Li and Jackie Chan in the upcoming fantasy martial-arts film The Forbidden Kingdom.)
Chou said that the Wachowskis' ninja movie starts production in late April or early May.
