Can Kim Yun-seok ‘Save the Green Planet’?
Jang Joon-hwan made a name for himself back in 2003 with his directorial debut Save the Green Planet. Part black comedy, part science-fiction, the movie was instantly held up as one of the best Korean films of all time, only slightly overshadowed by that same year’s Oldboy. Rather than get straight to work on a follow-up, Jang Joon-hawn decided to all but disappear from the movie industry. Ten years later, Joon-hawn is … Continue reading

These Malaysian stuntmen aren’t afraid to go ‘One on One’

More concrete details on ‘The Host 2’
In today’s most shocking bit of news, it appears that a sequel to director Bong Joon-ho’s Korean monster movie The Host has long been in development. Even stranger still, it remains unclear just who is directing the movie. Bong Joon-ho is off working on his first English-language production Snowpiercer, so perhaps the sequel duties were handed off to a special FX artist or second unit director from the first film. We’ll … Continue reading
