Credit: Megabox Plus MLittle Forest director Yim Soon-rye’s new ripped-from-the-headlines hostage thriller, The Point Men, is making waves in the markets lately with investor/distributor Megabox Plus M repping international sales. The film, starring Hwang Jung-min and Hyun Bin, has since sold to 14 terriories in Asia and the Southeast for banners Edko Films, Encore Films, Sahamongkol Film, Viva Networks and The Filmbridge, as reported via Screendaily at EFM.
A year after working together on Confidential Assignment, actor Hyun-Bin’s latest return to the screen proves continually fruitful once more with Kim Seung-Hoon on period action adventure horror, Rampant. Why the film underwent three title changes is beyond my own understanding, though Rampant definitely sticks both creatively as well as applicably with respect to the narrative preset in Hwang Jo-Yoon’s screenplay.
CJ Entertainment is proudly flying its flag for its target niche with freshman director Lee Jong-Suk’s new film, The Negotiation. Trailers have been consistently rolling out but we now have one all our own to further signal the film’s U.S. release date on September 28 in select theaters, with Hyun Bin (The Swindlers) and actress Son Ye-Jin (The Pirates) starring.
Just shy of a week, Well Go USA is getting their worm in early bird fashion with the official U.S. trailer for zombie creature feature, Rampant. Kim Sung-hoon directs for lead actors Hyun Bin and Jang Dong-Gun with an October release date slated for Korea, and a North American rollout to follow on November 2.
The late end of 2018 is still stocking up on horror spectacle this season. Next Entertainment World’s forthcoming October release of zombie thriller, Rampant, is just the latest to make note of now with an official teaser online to signal fans.
Actor Hyun Bin has a few titles releasing before the end of 2018 and the latest, The Negotiation, is now up for grabs with a first teaser. The star of The Swindlers last year’s The Swindlers stars in his debut role for freshman director Lee Jong-Suk, centered on the kidnapping of a Seoul Metro Police superior.
It’s often interesting in wondering how a director can conjure a mystery tale that keeps audiences guessing. Jang Chang-Won’s new film, The Swindlers, certainly lives up to the task with as much intricacy and detail as possible in its two hour duration.
Written by Jang for his own debut, the film sets its course with tragedy in its wake when a church learns it was swindled out of billions by Doo-Chil (Heo Sung-Tae), a schemer who fakes his own death while escaping from Korea. Eight years later, we meet Ji-Sung (Hyun Bin), a vengeful con-artist hunting Doo-Chil and eager to hatch a plan of his own until he’s forced to pair up with Hee-Soo (Yoo Ji-Tae), an ambitious prosecutor to help culminate more than enough evidence to catch the big fish.
The devil, of course, is in the details with a story that offers numerous moving pieces in its narrative. Developments unfold with a plot that hinges on some pretty familiar tropes moviegoers would find in other sting films. Steven Soderburgh and David Fincher come to mind, but you’re left more entertained than any thing as Jang’s script never veers off course.
Solid performances from the cast along with the essential placing of storied events in the film’s timespan is also a big plus. The most riotous moments go to actress Nana who plays Choong-Ja, one of the most cunning among the roster compared to Sung-Duk (Bae Sung-Woo) the slightly more brash of the bunch as Hee-Soo’s right hand man.
The rest of the film relies mainly on its acumen to keep up the various ruses that take place while never missing a beat. Indeed there is much more to The Swindlers than meets the eye, a fact that makes clear the homework Jang has done in service of a film a rewarding ending – one teeming with sequel potential as the credits roll.
Well Go USA is bringing The Swindlers ashore for an exclusive digital U.S. release on March 6.
High stakes and fast talk are the game in this crime caper that brings together an all-star cast (Yoo Ji-tae, Hyun Bin, Bae Seong-woo, Park Sung-woong, Nana) as unlikely allies from different sides of the law. Each member of the team has their own motives, but they’ll have to work together to achieve their common goal – trapping the world’s most legendary con man.
One doesn’t usually think “zombies” when mentioning a Joseon period film. That genre is usually keen on feats of swordplay, war, drama and romance among others, so while as interesting as zombie movies can be in any time period, surely enough Confidential Assignment helmer Kim Sung-Hoon will have something for cinephiles and genre film fans to gravitate to by next year with his latest Joseon era thriller, Outbreak.
The film mark’s Kim’s third stint at the helm whilst reuniting with actor Hyun Bin for the production of the new period zombie thriller ahead of its 2018 release. Joining the two is actor Jang Dong Gun (No Tears for the Dead) starring as Kim Ja Joon, Minister of War and rival to Bin’s role of Lee Chong, a Joseon prince who is initially held hostage and returns to Joseon to fight alongside his elder brother, Crown Prince Lee Young in the wake of a deadly zombie uprising.
Rounding out the cast are Kim Joo Hyuk as Lee Young with actress Lee Sun Bin as archer Deok Hee and Jo Woo Jin as her older brother with Train To Busan co-star Kim Eui Sung as the King.
2017 is here and first on CJ Entertainment’s agenda is a new title that looks to continue the appeal of moviegoers with some more spectacular action and comedy of the South Korean variety. For this, we have Cooperation, here to help bring things into focus some ahead of its January 18 release from director Kim Sung-Hoon.
SYNOPSIS:
North Korean detective Im Chul Ryung is sent to South Korea to catch Cha Ki Sung, the boss of a North Korean refugee crime organization. There, Chul Ryung cooperates with South Korean detective Kang Jin Tae. For the first time, the two countries cooperate to take down a criminal.
Actor Hyun Bin of Spin Kick and The Fatal Encounter fame pairs alongside Public Enemy franchise and Veteran co-star Yu Hae-Jin for this latest affair which adds a dose or two of slapstick to accomodate the bullets, fisticuffs and high-speed pursuits that ensue. Watch the new trailer below and keep your eyes peeled!
Following a teaser released back in January, we now have a new trailer for director Lee Jae Kyu‘s new saeguk drama, The King’s Wrath, featuring actor Hyun Bin in his first film role after finishing his mandated tour in the military in late 2012. Bin stars as an eighteenth century ruler caught at the center of an internal conspiracy to kill him following the death of his father, and the further political upheaval and turmoil that ensues.
Several posters and pictures are floating around the internet as we speak, but we also have a few new posters to check out in addition to the official trailer which you can catch a glimpse of below, courtesy of HanCinema. The King’s Wrath bows domestically on April 30, 2014.
