THE HIT LIST: ‘Project Wolf Hunting’ Director’s Joseon-Era Martial Arts Revenge Actioner Casts Up As Finecut Nabs International Sales
Kim Hong-sun (Project Wolf Hunting, “Gangs Of London S3”) will direct Joseon-era martial arts revenge flick, The Hit List. Cameras began rolling a few months ago on the feature for which Finecut has since picked up international sales.
Based on a hit Kakao webtoon publication, The Hit List will star Jung Woo-sung (12.12: The Day, “Made In Korea”) and Wi Ha-jun (Midnight, “Squid Game”). Per Deadline’s Liz Shackleton, The Hit List “revolves around Han Myeong-hoe, one of the most powerful figures of the Joseon period who rose to power through bloodshed; Baek E-hwa, a woman transformed into an embodiment of vengeance after losing everything to Han; and Jang Gil-do, Han’s right-hand man and one of the era’s most formidable warriors.”
Rounding out the cast are Choi Gwi-hwa (The Roundup franchise, Project Wolf Hunting), Park Ji-hwan (The Roundup franchise, Boss), Choi Moo-seong (The Old Woman With The Knife), Go Chang-seok (Boss), Jo Bok-rae (The Princess And The Matchmaker), Choi Da-niel (The Beast), and Hun Bong-sik (Good News).
Finecut recently sold action noir Tristes Tropiques to Well Go USA among multiple territories.
