Universal’s 3D samurai tentpole 47 Ronin has had a bit of a troubled road through production and post-production, but if all goes according to plan, we’ll be seeing Keanu Reeeves wielding his sword in theaters this coming December. In anticipation of the pic, some promo posters have gone online that feature the cast doing their best samurai poses. Reeves stars as one of the 18th century samurai who seek to avenge their master’s death, lending some starpower to the movie. I don’t imagine we’ll see a trailer until closer to this summer, but these promo posters offer a nice tease of what’s to come.
Hit the jump to check out the promo posters. Directed by Carl Rinsch, the film also stars Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano, Kô Shibasaki, and Rinko Kikuchi. 47 Ronin opens in 3D this Christmas. [Update: The images have been removed at the studio's request. Sorry if you missed them!]

i’m pretty sure the third poster is fan made, seeing as all the info below the image is for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
All complaining aside I really hope this is a good film despite all the whispers of trouble.
You’re right. It’s funny because that’s by far the best one. It might be the low res but all the other ones look like they were done by a high school kid learning Photoshop for the first time.
It’s here, finally !
apparently the ‘problematic’ production bits of news were untrue…
Ronin Warriors???
“The Silver Samurai” from The Wolverine is also starring in this. :p Looks awesome.
“we’ll be seeing Keanu Reeeves wielding his sword in theaters” Ahaha.
