The spin-off is apparently by no means a testosterone-filled slab, but rather a ninja movie. The spin-off will deal with the career of the Assassin's Snake Eyes, who mainly acts in the shadows (we reported). A cast for this one has now been found.

"Snake Eyes" is staged by German director Robert Schwentke, who lately received critical acclaim with the bitter, cross-border anti-war drama "Der Hauptmann". He already starred in Hollywood on the action blockbusters "R.I.P.D." and "R.E.D." as well as the Young Adult adventures of the "The Determination" series on the director's chair.
When "Snake Eyes" should appear is not yet known. You can watch the trailer for "Last Christmas" with Golding and Emilia Clarke under these lines.
