Hiroyuki Sanada back to martial arts role (probably) in "Rush Hour 3"

It is reported that Hiroyuki Sanada will be in action/comedy detective film "Rush Hour 3" with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.  He is supposed to play a villain.

It is great to see him show off his martial arts skills in the big budget ($100 mil., according to Wikipedia) Hollywood film, together with Jackie.  I wonder if he will be in samurai mode (=sword) or ninja mode (=karate)....

"Rush Hour 3" is scheduled to be released in August 2007.
