omonatheydid | Trailer for Jang Dong Gun and Lee Jong Suk movie V.I.P.

The latest from director Park Hoon-jung of The Tiger and A New World is about an international manhunt to take down the son of a high-ranking North Korean official who is suspected of a string of gruesome killings. Lee Jong-suk plays the VIP who lives above the law, and the film is about the three men who are all after him for different reasons: one to cover up his crimes, one to catch him, and one to get revenge.

Kim Myung-min plays a South Korean police detective who narrows in on Lee Jong-seok as his prime suspect in a murder case and is hellbent on catching him. But at every turn he’s thwarted by Jang Dong-gun, who is a secret agent for the National Intelligence Service and is responsible for bringing the VIP to South Korea in a joint covert operation with the CIA. (Peter Stormare makes a guest appearance as the CIA agent.) And of course they’re both at odds with Park Hee-soon, a North Korean agent with an agenda of his own.

V.I.P. hits theaters in August.
