Well Go USA is slating an August 4 theatrical release for the new action adventure thriller, Ransomed (Unofficial Operation as South Korea knows it). Kim Sung-hoon directs a cast led by Ha Jung-woo and Ju Ji-hoon, and the official trailer and gallery are here to help seal the deal.
Kim Sung-hoon’s new political thriller has a rousing first teaser trailer for Unofficial Operation following poster and image reveals in the past month. The film stars Ha Jung-woo and Ju Ji-hoon and opens on August 2 from Showbox in South Korea; a North American release via Well Go USA is also in toe.
A title change remains in order for Kim Sung-hoon’s newest film starring Ha Jung-woo and Ju Ji-hoon. For this, we turn to the official poster art treatments, as well as a batch of stills for Unofficial Operation, which opens in South Korean cinemas on August 2 from Showbox.
Set to arrive in South Korean cinemas sometime possibly in August is Ransomed, a new ripped-from-the-headlines thriller from director Kim Sung-hoon. In the meantime, reports out of Cannes have revealed acquisition for North America by Well Go USA, among a raft of pre-sales for other distributors at the market place, according to Screendaily’s Jean Noh.

I never did get around to finishing season one of Korean period horror, Kingdom, but I know it’s definitely something I’ll be working to prioritize in the near future.

Just in time for the new year, Netflix unveiled a new official trailer for the upcoming six-part series, Kingdom. The show is set to premiere on January 25 and despite all comparisons to Kim Sung-hoon’s Rampant, should likely serve something a little extra, if not different, what with a second season in the works for its narrative.
Netflix may not hastily be hatching its eggs when it comes to their upcoming Asian content, but that hasn’t impeded them from counting. With Kingdom, they’re especially including the new historical period zombie hybrid which they’ve already considered groundbreaking enough to garner a second season as of July as they waited out even airing the first.
200 Pounds Beauty and Mr. Go helmer Kim Yong-Hwa’s sweeping new fantasy adventure, Along With The Gods, aims to cover a lot of ground through next year. Its inspiration from a popular webcomic hopes to be the seed that sprouts a two-part epic that is now being confirmed for an official North American release date on December 22 from Well Go USA two days after its Korean bow.
Kim’s ambitious blockbuster comes from the online pages of Ju Ho-min’s webcomic and was produced with a budget totaling in the vicinity $35.5 million dollars (KRW 40 billion), and made quite the noise last week among the film fest crowd in Busan. The film opens in South Korea on December 20 with its sequel being dated for next summer.
