Ryoo Seung-wan Joins in HD Film Project of CJ Entertainment

The City of Violence (Jjakpae) will be the next action packed - film for director Ryoo Seung-wan. Ryoo's recent films were the critically acclaimed boxing drama Crying Fist (2005) and the popular martial arts comedy Arahan (2004).

City of Violence will be a HD film produced by CJ Entertainment. CJ Entertainment started a low-budget HD film project to explore the cost-efficient digital filmmaking and assigned some of South Korea's main directors. The first announced film of the HD project is Park Chan-wook's next film I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK.

Director Ryoo himself will play the lead character. The protagonist returns to his hometown for a funeral of his friend. His friend was the victim of organized crime and he starts an investigation to seek revenge.

Lee Won-jae who wrote the "Blood Rain" adaptation is responsible for the scenario. Filming started last February and apparently HD filming is not only cost-effective, but also time-saving; the film is to be released this June.

Director RYOO Seung-wan was part of the first books about influential South Korean directors published by the Korean Film Council (KOFIC). The PDF file is available for free on the KOFIC website: Open the link

    It's always a pleasure watching pretty faces on screen. I suppose that audiences at the very least found "Sad Movie" satisfactory in that regard: The film stars six Korean superstars.
    They are Jeong Woo-seong, who has a distinct aura as a male actor; Lee Ki-woo, an emerging movie star who is famous,...

  • A battle of gangster cliches
    2006/05/02 (Source)
    "Running Wild" recycles the masculine sentimentality of Hong Kong gangster flicks from the '80s.
    It starts and ends with men smeared with blood, and fills everything in between with stabbing and chopping, on top of other actions that involve men in leather gloves and trench coats.
