Oh yeah, Peg and I saw this trailer before RED a couple weekends back. We decided we wanted to see it, regardless of how good it actually turned out.

Stop dragging the kissaki of your sword through the gravel you whiny emo ninja suck stain!
But less seriously,
The Korean kung-fu film market is currently what the Hong-Kong one was several years ago - the innovators in the genre. This looks like a fusion project intended for release to both markets, and borrows heavily from the mythos of at least three epic tales. Just from the trailers alone I see the influences of Lone Wolf and Cub, Journey to the West, and every arty kung-fu flick (I'm looking at your Crouching Tiger) from the last decade.
Maybe not in the theatre, but they will likely get my hard-earned on the DVD release.
