Isnt Parks new movie due next year too?
Kim Ji-Woon/ Park Chan-Wook are working on their new films, but I haven’t found much details yet. It’s like Bong Joon-ho’s Transperceneige, we know it’s his next project, but shooting is expecting to begin only in 2011.
I heard about the film some time ago but just assumed that it would be ready for next year …
o well.
dance of time (song il-gon) max & the junk men (kim ji-woon) poetry (lee chang-dong) unfair deal (ryu seung-wan) … there’s a whole bunch, but many seem to be in something of a limbo as to whether they’ll actually happen : enforcer (ryu seung-wan) royal massacre (song il-gon) snow train (bong joon-ho) subtropical night (kim ji-woon) unfair deal (ryu seung-wan) yellow sea (na hong-jin) youth is reckless (lee myung-se).
