[Update: This original story has been updated with an official press release, plot description, character names and high resolution cast photo. Check it all out after the jump.] With Keanu Reeves set to star in Carl Erik Rinsch [1]'s 47 Ronin, by my math, still leaves about 46 Ronin to be cast. The 3D production is heating up and Variety is reporting that four more roles have been cast. Japanese actors Tadanobu Asano, Kou Shibasaki, Rinko Kikuchi and Hiroyuki Sanada have all joined the film. Asano is familiar to film geeks for his roles in Ichi the Killer, Mongol and Zatoichi among many others, plus he's got a two big movies coming up, Thor and Battleship. Shibasaki was in Go, Battle Royale and the original One Missed Call. Kikuchi is known to American audiences from her leading roles in Babel and The Brothers Bloom and Sanada is best known for roles in The Last Samuari, Sunshine and as Dogen in the final season of Lost. Ken Watanabe was rumored to be a part of the film, but that is still just a rumor.
