SEOUL, Dec. 4 (Yonhap) -- “Parasite” stars, the first winners of four Academy Awards with a Korean movie, will clash at the cinemas during the end of this year and the start of 2022.
For most of them, it will be their first main roles in a film after the sensational “Parasite.” And as it is the “Parasite”’s families that are hitting the movies, the film industry is paying keen attention to the upcoming productions.
Lee Sun-kyun, the father of the rich Park family, will be the first-runner. He will lead an election film “King Maker.”
This production of director Byun Sung-hyun who produced “The Merciless” has not specified its release date.
Lee will play Seo Chang-dae motivated from an actual figure Um Chang-rok. He will lead the heated election field supporting politician Kim Un-bum (Seol Kyung-gu) who consistently attempts to change the world.
One of the film’s watching point is the chemi of actor Lee and Seol, the collision between Seo Chang-dae who tries to win the election regardless of any means and Kim Un-bum who prioritizes the greater good.
Actor Song Kang-ho who played an incompetent father Gitaek will meet the audiences through a disaster film “Emergency Declaration.”
The production is directed by director Han Jae-Rim who made “The Face Reader” and “The King.” The film’s cast includes star actors, Lee Byung-hun, Jeon Do-yeon, Kim Nam-gil and Yim Si-wan.
The movie is about a plane to Hawaii suddenly announcing an emergency landing. It has been invited to the Cannes International Film Festival as a non-competitive selection in July.
Song has played a veteran detective struggling on the ground to save his wife in the plane and to figure out what the whole incident was about.
“It is not just about the disaster itself but rather its point is the reaction, the response and the overcoming of a disaster,” said the actor during an interview with Yonhap News at the Cannes.
Gitaek’s son and daughter will be smashing the cinemas too.
Actor Choi Woo-sik will play policeman Choi Min-jae strictly obeying principles and rules in an undercover film “The Policeman's Lineage.” Also actor Park Myung-hoon who hid underground in president Park’s house in “Parasite” will take a supporting role in the upcoming film as well.
The obedient but incompetent young man in his 20s from “Parasite” will present an intensive action moves in the new film.
“I heard that ‘Parasite’ was invited to the Academy while shooting ‘The Policeman's Lineage.’ I couldn’t believe it,” said Choi in a recent conference.
Action movie “Special Cargo” starring Park So-dam has confirmed its release date to January 5th.
Park will lead breath-taking action scenes as Eunha who delivers whatever for money. Produced by director Park Dae-Min, the film’s cast includes actors Kim Eui-sung and Song Sae-byeok.
