“Brothers in Heaven” Korean Theatrical Poster
Won Jin, the legendary Sonny the Scorpion from the 1992 classic Operation Scorpio (read our interview here), has confirmed he’s recently completed action directing duties for the upcoming Korean crime thriller Brothers in Heaven. Jin has been applying his action directing skills in China as of late, so this marks the first time for him to return to his native Korea since choreographing the action in 2013’s The Suspect, in which he also has a small but memorable role.
Brothers in Heaven is the sophomore feature from director Park Hee-joon (Mandate), and stars K-drama actor Jung Hoo in his movie debut, and Jo Han-sun (A Better Tomorrow) as twin brothers that were separated at birth, and grow up on opposite sides of the law. When fate brings them together 20 years later, as expected, a healthy dose of gritty violence ensues.
Brothers in Heaven will also feature Hong Kong actor Simon Yam, in his third Korean movie after turns in The Thieves and Cold Eyes. Hitting domestic screens in January, we’ll keep you in the loop of the latest news. In the meantime, check out the trailer below:
This is bad – “…stars K-drama actor Jung Hoo in his movie debut, and Jo Han-sun (A Better Tomorrow) as twin brothers….”
I admit that I have a problem with remembering how to spell Korean names but that’s why I li look them up before I write them. Jung Hoo is a long way f dry om Sung hoon.
My last comment is full of typos because the field was cut off so I could not see what I was typing.
