One of the earliest efforts involved in casting 47 Ronin was to find a performer with the presence,
physicality, and stamina to play the demanding role of the film’s hero, Kai, a figure of two worlds. Keanu Reeves, beloved by audiences for his work in blockbuster epics such as the Matrix trilogy, in which he gave a human center to a complex and imaginative fantasy world, was an
ideal choice.
“I was attracted to the world it created,” shares Reeves. “I related to it as a Westerner. It’s a film
that has big, universal themes such as honor, revenge, and love.”
Oishi was Lord Asano’s top-ranking samurai official.
When Asano is forced to commit ritual suicide—after
he is falsely accused of attacking fellow feudal Lord
Kira—Oishi and his fellow samurai are forced to live
as Ronin.
Traveling the countryside for several years, Oishi
gathers the Ronin to help avenge their master’s death.
As he realizes what he must do, Oishi sees that the
last person he wanted to join their ranks is the very
warrior he knows he needs most… Kai.

Watch the cast and crew discuss the amazing creatures of 47 Ronin
The Tengu Forest is a ghostly location of primordial
trees cut through swirling fog that moves as though
it were alive.
It’s a place where spirits whisper in the mist.
Kai leads the brotherhood of outsiders, his fellow
Ronin, through this haunting landscape, the
gateway to the Tengu temple, in search of the
ultimate weapon.
The Temple of the Damned is a labyrinth within the
Haunted Forest and fate’s inner sanctum.
It’s the spiritual home of Kai and where the dark
demon monks guard a sacred weapon. Kai brings
his samurai brothers to the temple to arm them.
It is here that he challenges and defeats the Tengu
Lord, earning the rogue warriors their deadly swords.
