Trailer: THE ROUNDUP: NO WAY OUT Rounds Up A June 2 U.S. Release!
Capelight Pictures is proudly releasing Lee Sang-yong’s hotly anticipated threequel, The Roundup: No Way Out, on June 2 in North American theaters. The film returns actor Don Lee back in the spotlight for another round as the no-frills and no BS detective Ma, following 2017’s The Outlaws in which he tracks down a notorious mobster in South Korea’s Chinatown district, and in last year’s The Roundup in which he hunts down a vicious killer.

ABO is going hard this month as the release date approaches for Lee Sang-yong’s Don Lee threequel, The Roundup: No Way Out.

Fantasia XXVI Review: Lee Sang-Yong’s THE ROUNDUP Knocks ‘Em Out Once More In The Hit Action Crime Sequel
Watch any of actor Don Lee’s earlier films and you’ll know he wasn’t as sizeable as he has been in the last, say, maybe eight or ten years. Regardless of whether his beefy build was a planned effort or not, however, you have to give it to him for using it to his advantage and ultimately paving a way for an evolution in Korean cinema of late with a raft of hard-hitting roles as a big, hard-hitting character with enough screen charisma to match the likes of Schwarzenegger and current business partner Stallone to name a certain few, which now brings us to Lee Sang-yong’s The Outlaws follow-up, The Roundup.

Production is currently underway for The Roundup, a sequel to Kang Yoon-sung’s 2017 action hit, The Outlaws.Lee Sang-young is making his debut at the helm for a returning cast that currently sees Don Lee (The Gangster. The Cop. The Devil., Unstoppable, Along With The Gods 2: The Last 49 Days, upcoming The Eternals), and the new addition of actor Son Suk-ku (Hit-And-Run Squad), with filming expected to wrap this summer.The first film saw Lee at the wheel as Ma Suk-do, a.k.a. “the Beast Cop”, heading a small anti-crime task force and dispensing justice amid warring gangs and the rise of a vicious crime boss in a South Korean Chinatown district in 2004. The Roundup sees Ma, front and center once more on a mission to Southeast Asia to extradite a suspect where a ruthless killer who has been targeting tourists for years emerges.“Buyers have been telling us they are betting on Don Lee to become even more well-known after [The Eternals]. The Roundup release date hasn’t even been set yet, but it speaks to the strength of the content and the actor that these top distributors have bought the film,” said K-Movie Entertainment head of sales Sylvie Kim. K-Movie reps international sales on the project and has since landed multiple sales at EFM which wrapped its 2021 events on Friday. Japan was among the territories where the film scored release rights for distro company, Hian, who are also involved in a Japanese remake of the 2017 thriller; a Hindi language remake is also in tow from director Prabhu Deva for Zee Studios due this May, starring Salman Khan.
