Generating interests from the early stage of production with director Bong Joon-ho and starring Park Yoochun, ‘Sea Fog’ has set its opening in August, and is revealing its teaser poster.
‘Sea Fog’ is in an unknown sea fog where one cannot see what’s in front of oneself, it is the piece of work about the story of six mercenary crew members on an old ship who are swept into uncontrollable incidents when they shift over to ferrying stowaways. Director Bong Joon-ho is attaining his first time producing, Shim Sung-bo who wrote the script to ‘Memories of Murder’ is directing.
Kim Yoon-seok, Park Yoochun, Han Ye-ri, Lee Hee-joon, Moon Sung-geun, and Kim Sang-ho are merited and anticipated factors who have the harmony between old and new; from veteran actors to rising stars onscreen. Revealed this time again, the teaser poster is in a sea fog, having captured the desperate moment of two persons holding out their hands to one another. It evokes curiosity about what is happening to them.
To this, ‘Sea Fog’ revealed its 10-minute-long promo video at the Cannes Film Festival just recently, unveiling itself.
NEW –who is investing in and distributing ‘Sea Fog’– told the news: “It was sold for a higher amount above South Korean films’ average sales prices, as well as, the preview that was presented to targeting buyers only twice, sold out all its seats,” and, “It was pre-sold to 5 countries: Japan, France, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore”. There have been consistently inquiries coming from Europe and North America, too.
An official from French distributor Wild Side Films who encountered the promo video, praised: “There were compelling forces that amplified tenfold than tension with all the emotions that were felt reading the scenarios. Bong Joon-ho, who is showcasing his first film as a producer, is continuing his exploration of the human mind”. An official from Japanese distributor Twin said: “We are very excited to watch the video this time because we have great anticipation toward the movie,” and, “We are really looking forward it because there is interest in director Shim Sung-bo’s debut and it is Park Yoochun’s first movie”.
