To help build interest in the 47 Ronin film starring Keanu Reeves, Trailer Park Digital worked with Universal to tell a standalone backstory through an original motion comic, 47 Ronin: The Way of the Warrior.
Working closely with the studio, our team conceived, created and scripted a completely new story that fit with the movie’s magical and dangerous tone. We focused on the 47 samurai and their code, known as Bushido, and gave life to the spirited story, as both an online video and an immersive graphic novel website.
The story illustrated the battles and intrigue of the 47 samurai as they faced their apex, striking out on their own. Thus setting the stage for the events of the movie and the epic arrival of Keanu Reeve’s character, Kai.
