Tsuyoshi Ihara ("Letters from Iwo Jima") and Mika Hijii ("Garo") will join Scott Adkins ("X-Men Origins : Wolverine", "Undisputed II") for director Isaac Florentine's "Ninja", now in pre-production in Bulgaria.
Adkins, in his fourth film with Florentine ("Undisputed II", "The Shepherd : Border Patrol"), plays a westerner named Casey, studying Ninjutsu in Japan, when he's asked by the Sensei to return to New York to protect the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Koga Ninja.
Accompanied by Namiko, the Sensei’s daughter (and formidable martial artist in her own right) they find themselves under attack by Masazuka, a former student turned high-paid assassin who believes the armored chest and the fabled Ninja’s weapons belong to him.
Nu Image's Danny Lerner and Les Weldon produce.
