[article] South Korean pop music star Rain debuts in Hollywood
 
Excerpt:
Quote:
South Korean pop music star Rain is likely to play a role in the Wachowski brothers' new action adventure film "Speed Racer" in his Hollywood debut.

Rain, who draws a huge audience throughout Asia with his sculpted body and dance moves, is "in positive" negotiations with the filmmaker, said the manager, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet completed.

He said Rain's participation in the movie based on "Mach Go Go," a 1960s Japanese animated series about car racing will be announced "soon." He declined to give further details.

It will be interesting to see Rain in Speed Racer!

AyuGAME 11th May 2007 04:53 PM
lets see how his hollywood career will be

Cyria 11th May 2007 05:52 PM
Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, Christina Ricci and Matthew Fox will also be starring in the film, so it's probably not a bad choice if he wants to appear in a potential box office hit.

Wow! We could probably have our next asian super star...maybe it won't have to be so action-y...

because asians in hollywood are all action...examples? The main few who are popular...

Lucy Liu - Martial Arts
Jackie Chan - Martial Arts
Jet Li - Martial Arts
Zhang ZiYi - Martial Arts

yeah....

Interesting. It would pretty cool to see him in the movie.

..:Hot:Like:Wow:.. 12th May 2007 12:26 AM
He's gonna fail, Just does not have that special something that all the other asians in Hollywood have.

I think it's sounds interesting. I'd love to see more of him over here. BTW, did anyone see Colbert talk about him this week? It was good stuff...

He's hot as effing hell; I'm sure that'll at least get him some where, haha :D

That's great that such other high-profile stars will be in it too though. Matthew Fox and Rain in one movie, that's almost too much sexy for me to handle :P

drewbilation 12th May 2007 11:04 PM
I'd rather it was SE7EN, but whatever. Good for him.

truehappiness 12th May 2007 11:09 PM
He has to improve his English first.

That is, if he even has many English speaking parts.

[I'm reminded of Yuna Ito's appearance as Reira in the first NANA]

Rain I hope him good luck. I heard a song he did with that guy sounds kinda good. Atleast he gets some kinda exposure to the us market.
