Published on | Source
Leading talent Na Hong-jin's next film will be another thriller with socially critical undertones titled Sarinja (English translation: murderer). The project is still in the writing phase. The plot centres around a man who turns into a murderer to escape starvation.
Writer/director NA crafted the well made thriller "The Chaser" (Choogyeokja) which became a sleeper hit film after a modest release. His debut feature film, a social critique without major stars, is so far the most successful film of 2008 in Korea and is currently being screened at Festival de Cannes 2008.
"The Chaser"'s audience has already exceeded the five million mark. The film recently won PaekSang's Grand Prize and NA was awarded the Best New Director award. Warner Bros bought the remake rights of "The Chaser".
