Alien vs Ninja deets
Nov. 5, 2009
Wow. Just a few days ago we reported on a killer Sci-Fi/horror outing about zombies battling robots. Well, not to be outdone, some details have surfaced at this year’s American Film Market about Yuji Shimomura’s kickass genre-blender ALIEN VS NINJA. Yes you read right, ALIEN VS NINJA!
Shimomura, who oversaw the 2005 film DEATH TRANCE, will team with writer/director Seiji Chiba (RED LETTERS) to bring about the new story, which picks up:
Once upon a time in Japan, where a band of great Ninja warriors was led by Yamata called Iga Ninja. One day they witness a flash in the sky and a roaring giant ball of fire crashes into the distant forest. The warriors rush into the deep woods in an attempt to identify the mysterious fireball. There, instead of finding predictable enemies, they are stunned to face never-seen-before creatures with claws and fangs, the aliens!
The hungry brutal aliens start to savage and feast on the Ninja warriors, leaving only a few to survive. Yamata and his warriors swear to avenge their comrades' deaths and risk their lives to challenge the aliens. However, none of the Ninja weapons, neither their swords nor their throwing stars, has any affect on the alien warriors. Now the Japanese greatest Iga Ninja face the biggest challenge ever!
YES! Exorbitant J-horror bloodletting with the action packed spectacle of a martial arts flick – I think I need a fresh pair of shorts!
The film is currently in post-production, so when we first have access to some footage, so will you.
Spilled Blood: Yuji Shimomura served as "Fight Choreographer" on the upcoming Kate Bosworth film THE WARRIOR'S WAY.
