"Shooting a film always accompanies various issues, so I'm not sure exactly when we will start. But if things run smoothly, I expect to start shooting in November", said Lee who participated along with well-known Asian directors in a special session Wednesday to talk about Asian films as part of an event of this year's Busan International Film Festival which is underway in the port city.

The film is a mystery thriller revolving around a woman whose life is intertwined with two men -– one rich and the other who struggles to make ends meet. Industry sources believe popular stars Gang Dong-won and Yoo Ah-in were casted for the film.

Lee's new movie is expected to hit theaters sometime next year.
