Yahoo! Movies delivered the brand new poster and trailer for the upcoming period fantasy action adventure, 47 Ronin from director Carl Rinsch. The film comes off of a production slated that lasted a few years with Universal Pictures studio executives taking over the production toward the latter half of the process and will finally make its way to a North American Christmas Eve release, in addition to a worldwide distribution slate which you can view by clicking here.
The film is getting a release in Cannes in a few weeks before its theatrical release in China. So to say the least, while the footage here looks more like a rushed, unfinished promo, hopefully we will see a better trailer soon with more substance as an upcoming 3D feature.
