Jeon Ji-hyeon may soon stroll down the red carpet at one of the big three international film festivals, as organizers in Berlin, Cannes and Venice are said to be keeping a close eye on Wai Keung Lau's yet-to-be-finished film Daisy, which stars Jeon alongside fellow Koreans Jeong Woo-seong and Lee Seong-jae. The movie is produced by iFilm.
Many influential industry people are in Korea to attend the 10th Pusan International Film Festival, which started Thursday, and many of them are asking if there is a chance of a sneak preview of Daisy. Venice festival director Marco Muller and Berlin festival director Dieter Kosslick will both come to a promotional event for the film at the Chosun Hotel in Busan on Saturday. A number of Cannes programmers will attend as well.
According to lingering rumors, they are particularly interested in Jeon, whose popularity practically makes any movie she stars in a guaranteed box-office hit. Titled "A Night With Daisy", the event is designed for people in the domestic and foreign film industry and will show snippets from the movie, which is in post-production.
The stars of the movie and the director will be at the event to talk to the press. Daisy is scheduled for simultaneous release in eight Asian countries, including Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan, in late January.
Hong Kong director Lau, best known for his "Infernal Affairs" series, in Daisy depicts the confrontation between a cop and a killer who fall in love with the same woman. Jeong plays the killer, Lee the cop who chases him. Jeon, of course, is the tragic heroine loved by both men.
