Reeves said 47 Ronin is a story where people “share this journey to reclaim their land, their honor, their way. It was very special to me to be part of it,” he said. Reeves reportedly grew up attracted to martial arts movies.

His directorial debut this year was a martial arts action movie, Man of Tai Chi.
