Third time's the charm, so the saying goes. And the old adage is exactly what director Kim Yong-hwa and actor Seong Dong-il are banking on as they look to release yet another collaboration, "Mr. Go".

Although this time around, they've also recruited the help of a gorilla and a young Chinese actress.

Kim and Seong's previous works "200 Pounds Beauty" (2006) and "Take Off" (2009) both did well at the Korean box office, but the latest needs to do even better, given the hefty price tag: 12 billion won ($10.5 million)...More

A gorilla named Ling Ling enters the batter's box, its hair blowing in the wind. As a pitcher throws the ball, its eyes widen and its muscles wriggle. After swinging the bat and hitting the ball, it sprints to first base, its bushy hair flying and its muscles rippling.

This was a scene from the Korea-China joint-production film "Mister Go 3D". The portrayal of the gorilla's movements would have been impossible without Dexter Digital, a visual effects studio founded by movie director Kim Yong-hwa, in Paju, Gyeonggi-do (Gyeonggi Province). The studio is responsible for all the 3D imaging and visual effects of the film. More than 70 percent of the work is completed for the film, whose release is slated for July...More
