Jessica Alba's "Machete" Character Poster
Chosun.com reports that Sin City’s Jessica Alba, who was recently on vacation in South Korea, told a cable channel that she’s interested in making a Korean movie one day, particularly with Park Chan-wook, the director of Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. She also stated that Park’s characters came to her “like music” and mentioned that she would probably faint if she met Park in person.
Maybe someone should introduce Alba to the films of I Saw The Devil’s Kim Ji-woon and Chaser’s Na Hong-jin. Park Chan-wook is definitely a filmmaking genius, but there’s a lot more where he came from.
Thanks for pointing that out.. When people think of Korean cinema Park’s name is always mention and even though I think he is a fantastic director, there are far more talented directors coming out of South Korea, and one of m favorite is the guy who directed the chaser/the yellow sea.. The Yellow Sea is a classic!!!
The Yellow Sea IS a classic! It’s too bad that recent Sony release supposedly butchered the “butcher” scenes lol Yeah, it seems like Alba only access to Korean films was through a copy of Oldboy she found at Target or something.
