In other news, a special screening of Ninja Assassin was shown at the Comic Con convention in San Diego yesterday. More than 1300 were in attendance for this special screening and after the movie was over, it created a lot of buzz at the event. Most of the people in attendance had no clue who Rain was, but after the movie was over people were saying that they were very impressed by him and were wanting to find more information about him. Most have been saying the action and effects were awesome, including Rain's incredible skill and talents as a Ninja. However, a few complained that the storyline itself was somewhat lacking. Regardless, the majority of the people in attendance were WOW'ed when the movie was finished which is only good news for Rain and Warner Bros. Syfy (formerly Sci-Fi channel) seems to agree with this sentiment. Looks like the "World Star" may actually become a World Star.
