KANG Woo-seok's third instalment of Public Enemy (Gangcheoljoong: Gonggongui Jeok 1:1) – "Public Enemy Returns" attracted over 4 million spectators. After LIM Soon-rye's "Forever the Moment" (Woori Saengae Chwegoui Soongan) and HA Nong-jin's "The Chaser" (Choogyeokja), "Public Enemy Returns" is the third Korean film to reach the 4 million mark this year.
Public Enemy 3 reached the landmark in less time than his predecessors, only 25 days. CJ Entertainment – the producer of the film – expects that the film will go on to reach 5 million viewers; so far this year, only "The Chaser" managed to achieve that feat.
Public Enemy 3 will see tough competition from this week, with the release of "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird" (Joheun Nom, Nappeun Nom, Isanghan Nom) on over 600 screens.
Public Enemy 3 is this time written by JANG Jin who fed it some of his characteristic humour. SEOL Kyeong-gu ("Oasis") returns as a law enforcer, this time he battles a criminal played by JEONG Jae-...| More

LEE Hae-joon, half of the directing duo of "Like a Virgin", announced the casting of his next film mr. Kimssineun Pyoroogi. JEONG Jae-yeong and actress JEONG Ryeo-won will be the lead actors.
The film seems likely to be financed by director/producer KANG Woo-seok. They are still preparing the shoot.
LEE directed "Like a Virgin" together with LEE Hae-yeong. Kimssineun Pyoorogi is about a man and a woman meeting at the Han river in Seoul it will be LEE's first time directing alone.
JEONG's filmography includes, "Someone Special" and "Welcome to Dongmakgol". JEONG starred in the film "2 faces of My Girlfriend".
Controversial director KIM Ki-duk has cast South Korean leading actress LEE Na-young alongside one of Japan's top actors, Joe Odagiri, in what will be his 15th feature film. Titled "Bi-mong" ("Sad Dream"), the new project began shooting January 4 in Seoul and is scheduled to wrap on January 25.
Much interest is being given the new project as actress LEE is one of Korea's most adored stars, taking memorable roles in such films as "Maundy Thursday" ("Our Happy Time") (2006) and "Someone Special" (2004). Paired with Odagiri (Tokyo Tower (2007)), a favorite with women across Asia, the film carries much commercial potential despite the generally cold reception KIM's films receive in his home country.
The new film will, as in many of KIM's previous works, distort the boundaries between reality and dream. The story revolves around a man (Odagiri) who dreams that he caused a car accident. Waking, he goes to the place where the dream occurred, only to find that an actual hit-and-run...| More

Award-winning director Kim Ki-duk chose Japanese actor Jo Odagiri and Korean actress Lee Na-young for his 15th movie "Bimong" ("Sad Dream").
"Bimong", produced by Kim Ki-duk Film and Sponge Ent, is about two people who are connected by dreams. Jin (played by Jo Odagiri) is a guy who dreams because he cannot forget his ex-girlfriend. Ran (Lee Na-young) sleepwalks in accordance with Jin's dream. They meet at a traffic accident scene where Ran behaves consistently with Jin's dream.
Kim is known for his distinctive experimental cinematic works. He received Best Director awards in 2004 at two film festivals, for two of his films. At the Berlin International Film Festival, he won an award for "Samaria" (2004) while at the Venice Film Festival he took one for "3-Iron" (2004). However, some of his movies are controversial due to their depiction of the abuse of women and animal cruelty.
Odagiri, 31, is a Japanese actor who studied acting in California...| More

Director Jang Jin has made it big once again. His latest comedy 'Going by the Book' topped the box office in its first week and attracted 1.2 million viewers in ten days. It was number one in advance tickets on all reservation sites in the fourth week of October and has topped the box office for the second week. Jang's witty script about a mock bank robbery drill, coupled with new face Ra Hee-chan's directing and Jeong Jae-yeong's seasoned acting, has grabbed audience attention. The film received a record score for a comedy in a preview screening. And since being released, word-of-mouth praise continues to spread.
