OMNISCIENT READER: THE PROPHECY Trailer Signals North American Digital And On Demand Release In November
Writer-director Kim Byung-woo’s latest fantasy thriller, Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, will arrive on digital and On Demand in North America on November 4, from Capelight Pictures in association with Blue Fox Entertainment. The film previously released in theaters back in August in addition to screening for the 29th editon of Fantasia Festival for which my review back in July is attributed.
Kim Dok-ja (Ahn Hyo-seop), an ordinary man in his 20s, is the only reader of an obscure web novel titled “Ways to Survive the Apocalypse”. Having started reading in his school days, after 10 years of serialization the novel’s conclusion is finally published, and Kim, not liking the ending, writes an angry letter to the author, calling it “the worst novel ever”.
After sending the letter, the apocalyptic world of the novel suddenly becomes reality, and the novel’s omnipotent hero Yu Jung-hyeok (Lee Min-ho) appears before Kim. As the only person who knows how to survive in this world, Kim and his companions rescue Yu Jung-hyeok and strive to save the world by writing his own, new ending.
Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy also stars Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, and Jisoo, from a script Kim and co-scribe Lee Jung-min wrote, based on the novel by singNsong.
