This in from Lizerne Guiting: K-pop star Rain shoots for international stardom as he takes the leading role in the Wachowski brothers’ Ninja Assassin, Variety reports.

The Wachowskis are to produce the film with plans for V for Vendetta helmer James McTeigue to direct.

Before Rain (real name Jung Ji-hoon) starts assassinating ninjas or becomes a ninja who’s also an assassin (we’re not quite sure which), K-pop fans can also goggle at him in Speed Racer due May 9. Don’t know him? He’s a huge star abroad, having been deemed the Justin Timberlake of Asia for his "dance moves and hotness."

Rain’s got some smooth moves.
