Showbox Mediaplex, a South Korean sales, finance and distribution major, will handle international sales on Korea-Japan co-production "Higanjima", which had its world premiere in Pusan this October. The Japanese-language film is directed by KIM Tae-gyoon, known best for his tragic North Korean refugee drama "Crossing", which was Korea's choice for consideration in the 2008 Oscars Best Foreign Film category.

Higanjima is a live-action adaptation of a manga by Koji Matsumoto, which was originally serialized in a youth magazine and turned into a text-based adventure for the PSP in 2005. Tetsuya Oishi (Death Note) wrote the screenplay. It is the tale of a teenager named Akira who travels to creepy Higan Island to find his missing older brother with the help of several friends. To their dismay, vampires inhabit the island and no one has ever escaped alive.

Warner Bros is to release "Higanjima" in Japan on January 9, 2009. Korean distribution has yet to be announced. Showbox will h...| More

"Higanjima", the Japanese manga adaption just recently seen at Pusan will be released January of 2010. The film is directed by KIM Tae-gyoon, responsible for Korea's 2008 Best Foreign Language entry, "Crossing" (2008). The screen play has been adapted from the manga by Tetsuya Oishi of Deathnote fame.

On the Higan (meaning island in Japanese) a teenager named Akira played by Hideo Ishiguro has lost his older brother (Dai Watanabe). The island however is a dark, scary place full of vampires and no one has ever escaped alive. Director KIM also helmed "Volcano High", another successful manga adaption in 2001.

The Korean Film Council has selected BONG Joong-ho's "Mother - 2009" as the country's next Foreign Language entry at the Oscars. Although not hitting the box office highs of the director's previous film "The Host" (2006) with its 13 million admissions record, Mother still managed to pull in 3 million admissions and premiered to critical acclaim at Cannes. Compared to the black, bloody ravages of PARK Chan-wook's vampire thriller "Thirst", the parochial sentiments of the farmer-and-cow documentary Old Partner and the violence of indie drama "Breathless", the other Korean films considered, "Mother - 2009" walked the fine line between being colloquially Korean and yet universal enough to appeal to international audiences and judges.

Although deemed as a thriller the movie examines wider social issues and ramifications when a mother, who loves her son too much, will do anything for him. "Mother - 2009" stars veteran Korean TV actor KIM Hye-ja as a woman in a small Korean town who has ...| More

When one sits down to watch a movie like "Crossing" - the story of a man who leaves North Korea to help his wife but never makes it back, and of his young son's long journey to find him - despite all the suffering and horror, one naturally expects everything to work out.

But in Crossing, almost nothing does.

Kim Yong-soo (Cha In-pyo) is a once-famous North Korean football player who now works in a coal mine in South Hamgyong Province. He lives in a small earthen house with his wife and son, Jun-i (Sin Myeong-cheol).

Yong-soo and Jun-i lead difficult but happy lives, playing football together and marveling at the technological wonders their family friends have smuggled in from China. (Jun-i is awestruck when his friend, who has a slight crush on him, shows him an automatic pencil sharpener.)

But Yong-soo's wife is stricken with tuberculosis due to malnutrition, and because she is also pregnant, she requires special medication that is unavailable in North Korea. With his smug...| More

Among a slew of the books written by celebrities these days, actor Cha In-pyo's book is conspicuous for many reasons.

First of all, the book is the first novel ever penned by an actor in Korea. Secondly, it is not a vanity project or self-focused ego-fluff, but rather deals with the issue of comfort women. Comfort women refer to the sexual slavery of numerous women, mostly Korean but also including Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, and Southeast Asian nationalities and even Europe, by the Japanese military in its imperial expansion years.

Cha's involvement in the book titled "Goodbye Hill" goes back to 1997, when he first heard the story of "Grandmother Hoon". She had been hauled off as a comfort woman to Cambodia during the colonial period and continued living in that country for 70 years until she visited her native Korea in 1997.

The 41-year-old actor's interest was first piqued upon hearing the news reports. So for the past decade, he worked on the idea, res...| More
