For Keanu, yes. It would give us something better than 47 Ronin at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauce Dog Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Shogun Assassin (1980) was a movie based on Lone Wolf and Cub. Kinda, not really - it was literally a re-edit of the Lone Wolf and Cub movie (and parts of the sequel movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it was edited from the Japanese movies, but that's the version that was released in the US. I remember seeing it in a small theater that had been used previously for showing adult films.

It's one of the best martial arts movies ever, IMO. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 'Lone Wolf And Cub' Live-Action Movie Getting -script From 'Seven' Screenwriter Quote According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has set Seven screenwriter Kevin Walker to pen the film’s -script. Justin Lin, the director of several Fast & Furious movies and Star Trek Beyond, is producing on behalf of his own Perfect Storm alongside Marissa McMahon and Kamala Films. Written by Kazuo Koike and drawn by Goseki Kojima, Lone Wolf and Cub began publication in 1970. The historical saga ran for over 9,000 pages. It was critically-acclaimed and proved popular enough to spawn Japanese films and television series. The manga series influenced many Western comics legends, including Frank Miller, who channeled Lone Wolf and Cub in stories like Wolverine and Ronin. Paramount has been trying to get the adaptation of Lone Wolf and Cub off the ground since 2003, even attaching Darron Aronofsky to direct at one point. Aronofsky has since left the project, which is still without a director. In addition to Seven, Walker has scripted films including 8MM, Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, and the 2010 remake of The Wolfman.
