“Paradise Lost” Poster
While many Korean directors struggle to bring their visions to a theatrical release, in 2026 Yeon Sang-ho casually dropped two theatrically released productions within less than 6 months of each other, flying in the face of a film industry still in the doldrums after the COVID-19 pandemic. In May he returned to the zombie genre with Colony, and October saw the release of Paradise Lost. In fairness, after the release of the Train to Busan sequel Peninsula in 2020 Sang-ho spent the next 5 years working almost exclusively with Netflix, the mixed reception the finale to his zombie trilogy received seemingly robbing him of big screen privileges. He’d eventually return to cinemas in 2025 with The Ugly, which became an unexpected box office success. The success of the mid-budgeted The Ugly prompted Sang-ho to continue exploring the kind of cinema he could make without big studio funding, from which Paradise Lost was born.
Don’t quote me on this, but I’m convinced Paradise Lost is the first time for a director to adapt a book written by their mother. The 2025 novel Black Inferno was written by Oh Seung-eun, the concept of which she originally shared with Sang-ho as a three-page outline. He liked it so much he purchased the story rights, proving that it is possible Continue reading

Villeneuve himself shared his official statement with Variety: “Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred Continue reading
