As one of the biggest sellers over at Cannes a few months ago, director Lee Suk-hoon‘s new action adventure, The Pirates, has been likened to the blockbuster success story that is Disney’s Pirates Of The Carribean franchise. This probably couldn’t come at a better time with the latter getting ready for another installment and Lee‘s new film has already made waves, leaving an impression for buyers representing up to fifteen territories, including Well Go USA for North America.
Further dates are pending, but South Korea will get its first look at the film starting on August 6, with the latest trailer aiming directly at fans of epic high seas adventures, sea monsters, and swashbuckling fantasy action.
