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'.

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

Korea's own super hero movie "JEON WOO CHI : The Taoist Wizard" is set for release this summer. The movie is highly anticipated not just because of its colloquial superhero themes but its super star cast and director. Choi Dong-hoon known for the colourfully large "War of the Flower" (2006) and "The Big Swindle" (2004) helms this ambitious Taoist action film feat. Equally as well known as Choi are its actors who are mainstays in Korean cinema. Kang Dong-won, young star of 'M' (2007) and The "Duelist" (2005) plays the mischievous time transported hero fighting against Kim Yoon-seok the detective anti hero in last year's surprise hit, thriller "The Chaser" (2008). Im Soo-Jeong from Kim Jee-woon's "A Tale of Two Sisters" fame and Park Chan-wook's "I'm a Cyborg, But That's Ok" also appears in the film along with Yoo Hae-jin who worked with Choi on "War of the Flower" and a host of other films.

Even though a superhero flick, Cho Dong-hoon has taken the familiar family genre, fu...| More

Eun-joo, the stepmother, welcomes two sisters who come back home after recovering their health, but Su-mi, the elder sister, intentionally avoids her and Su-yeon, the younger sister, shows a smack of fear for her stepmother. On their first night, Su-yeon sneaks in Su-mi's room confessing there is someone in her room and Su-mi sees a ghost of her late mother who hung herself in Su-yeon's closet. Strange things begin to happen since then; a ghost haunts the house and stepmother's birds are poisoned to death. Assuming Su-yeon is behind the inauspicious incidents, the stepmother locks her in the closet, and when Su-mi learns about the cruel punishment, conflict between the stepmother and two sisters gets bitter than ever.
One day, Mu-hyun, the father goes to town and Su-mi finds there is no sign of her younger sister, Su-yeon and Su-mi sports Eun-joo dragging a big bag through the dark corridor leaving bloody stains behind her. Su-mi follows bloody trace of the bag and she confronts with Eun-joo on her way of tracking. They starts to fight vehemently and Su-mi falls down struck by Eun-joo in the end... A while later, Mu-hyun comes back to the house and founds Su-mi fallen on the floor alone and enraged Mu-hyun exclaims that Su-yeon was already dead¡¦ His exclamation awakes a series of memories and hidden secrets buried deep inside of Su-mi...
