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.
🔥 Footnote: 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?
Well Go USA is releasing the film to theaters on August 28th. Don’t miss the New Trailer, followed by the recent Teaser 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.
