Visionary filmmaker Yeon Sang Ho (Psychokinesis) – director of the 2016 hit Train to Busan and its follow up Peninsula – returns to the zombie subgenre with Colony, an upcoming thriller that stars Gianna Jun (My Sassy Girl, The Thieves), Koo Kyo-hwan (Escape, Peninsula), Ji Chang-wook (Fabricated City) and Shin Hyun-been (The Ugly).
Colony follows Se-jeong (Gianna Jun), a biotech professor attending a conference that suddenly turns deadly when a fast-mutating virus is released. As the infected begin to change and chaos spreads, the authorities lock down the facility – trapping the survivors inside with a growing, unstoppable threat.
Despite also tackling a zombie outbreak, Colony has no connection – and shares no universe – with Train to Busan or Peninsula. So much for cashing in on brand familiarity, right?
Showbox is releasing the film later this year. Don’t miss the Teaser Trailer below:
It’s a shame that it’s not connected to his previous zombie flicks but I’m glad he’s not giving up on the zombie horror genre.
