Keanu also spoke of being in awe of his co-stars, which include Neil Fingleton, the UK's tallest man, who stars as the Samurai, Lovecraftian. "Neil's a really cool guy," said the actor.
Hear Keanu Reeves Talk About '47 Ronin' [Part 2]:
On working with an extensive cast of talented Japanese actors, the Matrix actor seemed pretty humbled too. He said the first time the entire cast assembled en masse was when filming at the UK's Shepperton Studios. "Everyone was coming in from different parts of the world [.] it was cool to be there. I learned that everyone had a personal experience of the 47 Ronin, growing up whether it was being told the story by their parents or grandparents [...] it bonded everyone."
"For me, I was an outsider since I don't speak Japanese, I tried my best [...] but it was good for Kai because I was [also] an outsider."
