As long as Uwe Boll doesn't come within 5000 feet of the film, I'll be somewhat satisfied.

But....that's not enough to hold off on my suspicions right now.

I can't see them messing this up, really. There just wasn't too much to Ninja Scroll. It was a rape scene, lots and lots of mindless action, a romance scene, and then a finale. It was entertaining, but only as much as, say, Alien vs. Predator may have been.

Zeta's got a point. So long as they actually get at least SOME Asian people to play the main characters, I can see this being a lot like the upcoming Ninja Assassin movie: a big, loud, dumb, fun action flick about magic ninjas killing shit. And really, there's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah that is a good point... but I have to stress the "Asian" part.

And I'm not being racist about it or anything, I couldn't care less what type of Oriental ASIAN they use, just give us that.

I still shudder when I think back to DOA...
