"Ninja Assassin" is badass defined. It delivers on exactly what the title promises. Rain deals out some heavy beatings on ninja, multiple ninja. Any one of whom could single-handedly pick apart a gang of armed Wiseguys. You can't reason with a ninja, nor can you bargain. You can only hope that 100 pounds of gold has not been spent to ensure your death.

Unless Rain is around to offer protection. Then you're all good. There are many new "Ninja Assassin" clips, so keep watching after the video below plays or click here to check 'em all out.

Last Friday's episode of "Behind the Screen" unearthed a wealth of exclusive new content relating to some of the fall's most highly anticipated releases. Among them is the James McTeigue-directed "Ninja Assassin," a heavily stylized action flick featuring buckets of blood, severed limbs and everybody's favorite black pajama-wearing martial artists. If you need any convincing about this movie's high quotient of awesome sauce, check out last week's exclusive trailer.

The focus of the tale is Raizo, a world-class assassin who emerges from hiding in search of vengeance for the murder of his friend. Raizo's target is the Ozunu Clan, the same crew that helped him sharpen his own person-killing skills. The starring role in "Ninja Assassin" is filled by Asian pop sensation Rain, who will very likely break out in the U.S. after he slices and dices the army of ninja McTeigue throws his way. In real life though, the top dog killer is a sweetheart. Just check out the video below to see Rain fielding the questions that you readers gave us to ask him.

The below exclusive clip from "Ninja Assassin" is gratuitous defined. As MTV Movies editor Josh Horowitz said, it's "exactly what you'd expect to see from a movie called 'Ninja Assassin.'"

There are ninja and there's an assassin (Rain). The former -- in full black ninja pajamas -- are chasing the latter the wrong way down a starlit street, and everyone's getting hit by cars. Rain smacks into two of them, and he recovers like a proper ninja assassin should both times. Hell, the first time it's a van that smacks into him head on, and what does he do? Forward flip, spin and BAM!, smack to a pursuing ninja's face. BAM BAM! Two more go down, and now Rain has a sword. Hit play. It's glorious.

"Ninja Assassin" is looking badass, no question. Aside from sporting one of the greatest movie titles to come along this year -- seriously, it sounds like an awesome kung-fu exploitation flick imported from the '70s -- it also features the considerable talents of Asian pop star Rain, as the titular martial artist, and "V for Vendetta" James McTeigue. In a recent interview with MTV, McTeigue had nothing but positive things to say about his star.

Lots of variety from Variety today. See what I did there? Yeah? Long day. Almost over. Enjoy the Dailies.

-- "School of Rock" writer Mike White sold the script for his "Babe in the Woods," an action-comedy in which a new student at Yale University somehow becomes the target of the New Jersey mob. I envision this as a cross between "PCU" and "The Sopranos." (Variety)

-- The announcement that Steven Spielberg's next project would be an adaptation of the Jimmy Stewart classic "Harvey" led many to speculate that Spielberg pal Tom Hanks would step into -- or at least be approached for -- the Stewart role. Fox hasn't exactly put those possibilities to rest, but they did issue a statement saying that the actor "has not read the script and speculation about him and this project has been inaccurate." So there you have it. (Variety) Read more...

You want to see "Ninja Assassin." You may not know it yet, but that title should be enough to sell you. A sure-footed nod to the hundreds of campy martial arts flicks that came before it, in actuality director James McTeigue's ("V for Vendetta") latest is a stylish, digital effects-laden adrenaline blast. Then again, I would expect nothing less from a movie produced by Joel Silver and the Wachowski Brothers, a group previously responsible for "Speed Racer" and the "Matrix" trilogy.

The story follows a young man named Raizo (Rain), kidnapped as a child by the shadowy Ozunu Clan. Trained to kill with blinding speed and no hesitation, Raizo grows up to be the world's deadliest assassin. And to think I wanted to be an astronaut! As is always the danger with shadowy ninja clans, Raizo is eventually betrayed by those who trained him. After spending a few years in hiding, he emerges to exact his bloody revenge. Oh yes, bloody revenge. Hit the jump to check out our EXCLUSIVE poster debut. Read more...

"Ninja Assassin" is just about everything I want in a movie. The title makes it sound like a 70s martial arts throwback, the sort that Wu-Tang Clan's RZA is likely to lift samples from. It is in fact a slick-looking action flick produced by Joel Silver and the Wachowski Brothers, and directed by "V for Vendetta" helmer James McTeigue. It stars Rain ("Speed Racer") as Raizo, the world's deadliest assassin, and this exclusive debut trailer shows us why.

You've got swordplay, superhuman acrobatics, a whizzing kusarigama (ie a sickle on a chain), casual blood-letting and many, many, many flying shurikens. The ninja-loving child inside me is screaming for more. Sadly, he -- and the rest of you -- will have to sit tight until "Ninja Assassin"'s November 25 release.
