Barring the excitement drawn from the initial teaser last month, the official trailer is now online for director Yeon Sang-ho’s newest venture, Jung_E. I haven’t been this excited about South Korean sci-fi on the streamer since Space Sweepers and I can’t wait until this launches on January 20.
Celebrated director Yeon Sang-ho (Train To Busan, Psychokinesis, Peninsula) has kept up nicely with his relationship with Netflix, particularly with his ongoing series efforts with Hellbound and the upcoming first season of Parasyte: The Grey based on the manga. The same also goes for his next sci-fi feature effort with Jung_E, starring Kim Hyun-joo in her first movie role since her fourth film appearance in Kim Do-hyuk’s Shin Suk-ki blues before long hauling her steady career in television for various networks, including this month’s SBS premiere of Trolley.
Netflix stepped up to the podium on Wednesday to bolster its Korean slate for the year, announcing a total of as many as twenty-four projects in film, TV and unscripted K-content. There’s definitely a few that have our attention, first out of three film titles in particular which includes Confessions Of Murder and The Villainess helmer Jung Byung-gil’s upcoming Netflix original film, Carter, announced last March by the streamer with actor Joo Won (SBS series Alice, KBS2 drama Good Doctor, SBS series Yong-Pal) starring as a top agent who awakens with amnesia and is thrust into the mission of a lifetime.
Celebrated director Yeon Sang-ho (Train To Busan, Peninsula, Hellbound) is currently in production with futuristic sci-fi, tentatively titled Jung-E, as announced by Netflix earlier this week. The film stars actresses Kim Hyun-joo and Kang Soo-youn, and actor Ryu Kyung-soo (A Resistance, Itaewon Class, Lovestruck in the City) from a script storied and written by Yeon.
