Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Exclusive Interview in Brazil - THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOONSecret Screening Revealed! Warner Bros. is Showing NINJA ASSASSIN at Comic-Con

When Warner Bros. announced their Comic-Con schedule, the first film I looked for was “Ninja Assassin”. After all, the film arrives in theaters November 25th, so it’s a perfect movie to promote at the convention. Also, as a big fan of “V for Vendetta” (which was the last pairing of the Wachowski Brothers and director James McTeigue), “Ninja Assassin” is on my must see list. So when it wasn’t on the list of films being promoted, I was a bit concerned.
But thanks to an extremely reliable source, I can report the reason they weren’t promoting the film during their panel is because they are showing the entire film at Comic-Con. And the best part for all of you, it’s open to the public! Want to know how to go, it’s after the jump:
According to my source, the screening day and time is still being determined. They told me they’re hearing Thursday night. But while the exact info is still being figured out, I can tell you how to get tickets for the free screening.
What you need to do is go to the Warner Brothers booth on Thursday as they’re going to be giving away a limited amount of tickets. Then you’ll need to get to the theater early as it’s going to be first come first served. Meaning, even if you get tickets at the booth, you’re going to want to be at the theater early as they’re giving away more tickets than seats. It’s how they make sure the theater is full.
If you’re a fan of the Wachowski Brothers and director James McTeigue, this is a great way to see the film for free and you’d be part of the first audience getting to see it.
As someone who knows how the movie studios do business, if they’re showing the film this early, it means Warner Bros. is extremely confident in the project.
Finally, if you’re going to be at Comic-Con Wednesday for preview night and want to go to a free screening, Warner Bros. is doing one for “Orphan” the same way. They’re giving away tickets at the WB booth when the convention opens and then it’s open seating at the theater. Since nothing goes on Wednesday night, this could be a great way to spend the evening.
If I get any more info about the screenings, I’ll post an update.
I really hope it has gotten better than when I saw it, but I have a feeling it probably hasn’t changed at all. The films borders on greatness and falls into an abyss of shit 2/3 through. Anyone who wants to see people chopped in pieces will definitely be happy, but if you want a really great film, don’t look here.
You suck because you like V for Vendetta…but this movie looks great….
V For Vendetta can pretty much be erased from film history
Hopefully it has all the traditional hallmarks of a great ninja flick. ie. Black costume and mask, shuriken, blow pipes stealth, climbing around and weird weapons and smoke bombs. If it has all those, and entertains then this could be cool.
If successfull, maybe a film based on the arcade game SHINOBI will be made. Why it hasnt yet is a mytery.
I can’t wait! RAIN is awesome!
Can’t wait to see Rain’s performance in Ninja Assassin
It has been talking a while how unique he will be in this film. I received heavy body training in Germany in last year. Wow…it must surprise everyone and make auidence scream together in the theatre…..
Can’t wait
Can´t wait to see Rain in this movie!!!! Love himmmmmmmmm
I heard about ninja assassin only perfect words. Trailer looks fantastic
And the typical Asian stereotype in movies continues with martial arts.
Asian roles are limited to: kung fu masters, evil villain, the class nerd and the funny guy. How about some starring roles like romantic guy, or a hero.
