'The Host 2' with the application of Korean technology is set to open in 2011 (Source) 2009/09/08
Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA, President & CEO: Lee Jae-woong) has selected 'The Host 2' co-produced by MACROGRAPH and Chungeoram as the recipient of 'Global Project for Technological Development 2009'.
As part of the project conducted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Korea for R&D on CT (Culture & Technology), the global project is to provide technological support on a large scale to visual content which appeals globally.
'The Host 2', a sequence to 'The Host' (Gwoemul) of 2006 (director: Bong Joon-ho), follows the accident in 2000 of toxic chemicals being dumped into Han River and the birth of monster in 2006. Backed by the popularity The Host enjoyed, the sequel is expected to garner popularity both in North America and the traditional creature movie market. Judges valued high the fact that Gwoemul, or monster, which was made based on overseas technological power, is embodied by local technological prowess in 'The Host 2'.

Kim Ji-woon's First International Outing (Source) 2009/08/28
Korea's KIM Ji-woon is set to make his first international film. In conjunction with U.S producers the film will be a remake of Claude Sauted's Max et les Ferrailleurs (1971). KIM has steadily risen within the ranks of Korean film directors and his last film "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" (2008) has consolidated his success overseas. In addition, his 2003 thriller A Tale of Two Sisters has just had its international remake with the title The Uninvited. KIM Ji-woon is amongst a handful of directors like counterparts BONG Joong-ho and PARK Chan-wook to be offered international deals.

The film based on the 1971 film with the English title of Max and the Junkmen is itself adapted from a novel. A firmly noir tale, complete with seedy cops immoral cops, thieves and a bank heist seems perfect for a director who already had huge success cementing his own brand of neo noir with "A Bittersweet Life" (2005). Max is a wealthy, amateur detective, obsessed with catching criminals and contin... |More

I just watched the DVD for the second time this week; clearly one of the greatest movies I've seen. Im Soo Jung, Yeom Jeong Ah, and Moon Geun Young all delivered Oscar calibre preformances. There are no actresses in America who are capable of duplicating what these three Korean beauties accomplished. Bravo!
