Hot off of a recent live internet showcase hosted by Korean film critic, Lee Dong-jin, in promotion for filmmaker Bong Joon-ho‘s post-apocalyptic sci-fi action adventure, Snowpiercer, we now have a new international trailer highlighting the film’s South Korean release date for August 1, 2013 from CJ Entertainment. Several new character featurettes and descriptions, and set images are also available online featuring the cast, including Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Alison Pill, Octavia Spencer, Ko Asung, Ewen Bremner and Song Kang-ho.
Based on the novel “Le Transperceneige” by Jacques Lob, Snowpiercer is set in a future time where a failed attempt to stave off global warming has left Earth covered in extreme cold and snow, forcing remaining survivors on a motion engine-powered mega train that circumnavigates the earth year-round. Ultimately, with a class system dividing the rich and wealthy from the poor passengers in the back of the train, a revolution ensues.
