He's soon going to be in a movie with Josh \"I was in <i>Sin City<\/i> but please forget <i>Pearl Harbor<\/i>\" Hartnett, so that should get him some exposure, too. You can see a picture of the future Tommy Arashikage <a href=\"http:\/\/men.stareastasia.com\/lee-byung-hun\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The woman is the superb martial artist, Scarlett. She'll be played by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0629697\/\" target=\"imdb\">Rachel Nichols<\/a>, who was in the recent <i>Amityville Horror<\/i> remake, though even fewer people saw that than saw her in <i>P2<\/i>. She was also in the final season of <i>Alias<\/i> and new Oscar-bait <i>Charlie Wilson's War<\/i>.
