The red carpet event for the Los Angeles premiere of superstar Rain's Hollywood film "Ninja Assassin" will be aired exclusively on video portal GomTV next week, according to producer Warner Brothers on Wednesday.

GomTV will record the event, set to be held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood tomorrow, and air it at 9 p.m. on November 23, Warner explained.

The main cast and crew of the action flick, including Rain, actress Naomie Harris, director James McTeigue, and producers Joel Silver and the Wachowski Brothers, are expected to turn up for the premiere.

Rain, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, will play the lead role Raizo who is an unfortunate character fighting against the very organization that trained him to become the best secret assassin in the world. His co-star Harris has appeared in the "Pirates of the Carribbean" movie series.

The Wachowski Brothers, famous for "The Matrix" trilogy, and Silver, who created the "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon" series, spent ten years working on "Ninja".

"Ninja", set for a worldwide release on November 26, has been hyped as one of the 50 most anticipated films of the year by U.K. newspaper The Times and one of the top 10 movies selected by the San Francisco Examiner.
