Universal City, California, February 4, 2014— Keanu Reeves
(The Matrix trilogy, The Day The Earth Stood Still) stars in a reimagining of
one of Japan’s timeless tales, 47 Ronin, available on Blu-ray™ 3D and Blu-ray™
Combo Packs, DVD, DIGITAL HD including UltraViolet™ and On Demand on April 1,
2014, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
Based on an epic story, this extraordinary tale of inspiring
courage has its origins in the early 18th century. After a treacherous warlord
kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek
vengeance and reclaim their honor. Transformed into a thrilling, visually
stunning 3D film by director Carl Rinsch, 47 Ronin tells the story of a small
group of warriors, or ronin, on a quest to avenge the death of their master.
Battling across a savage world of mythical beasts, shape-shifting witches and
wondrous terrors, the ronin must seek help from kai (Reeves), an enslaved
half-breed they once rejected – in their ultimate fight for redemption.
Keanu Reeves leads an international cast that includes
Hiroyuki Sanada (Sunshine, The Last Samurai) as Oishi, the leader of the ronin;
Tadanobu Asano (The Wolverine, Thor: The Dark World) as Lord Kira, the
treacherous villain who will stop at nothing to destroy his enemies; Academy
Award®-nominated actress Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, Pacific Rim) as the Witch, a
siren who executes Kira’s deadly plans; and Ko Shibasaki (The Lady Shogun and
Her Men, One Missed Call) as Mika, the forbidden love of Kai’s life.
