Sector 7′s preview and poster

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

You’ve seen the stills of a tough-looking Ha Ji-won in sci-fi action blockbuster Sector 7 — now watch her in action in the movie’s new preview, where she battles some kind of mutant sea monster while out on an oil rig.

The movie concept admittedly isn’t too original or complicated — it’s positioned itself as a “Host at sea” and amped up the badass Ha Ji-won angle — but if they can sneak in some clever surprises, it could be a fun summer flick. I thought The Host was awesome and don’t expect this one to be nearly as good in story (too similar to escape the knockoff vibe), but for sheer action/octane, Sector 7 is going in with guns blazing — gnarly CG monsters, explosions, fierce hand-to-tentacle combat, 3-D camera work.

Other cast members include hard-bodied heartthrob Oh Ji-ho (Chuno), veteran Ahn Sung-ki (Fair Love), and funnyman Park Chul-min (Birth of the Rich, Partner) — but who are we kidding, it’s all about Ha Ji-won. With movies like Haeundae and…well…Haeundae, Ha is setting herself up to be Korea’s foremost (and possible only) female action star. (Kim Haneul, Kim So-yeon, Su Ae — they’ve had some moments, but are distant seconds.) She’s had a string of successes lately — Secret Garden, Haeundae, My Love By My Side — so anticipation is running high for her next project.

Directing is Kim Ji-hoon, who did war movie May 18 and also has another action movie on his plate, disaster film The Tower starring Sohn Ye-jin. Korea’s sure rife with disasters. Must be something in the water. (Bah-dum-ching! Heh, couldn’t resist.)

Sector 7 has already been sold abroad to four other countries. No release date yet, but it’s expected to come out in the summer.

If they're all Asian, who dies first?

[coffeebang.livejournal.com]

Lol, damn.

The one with the darkest tan, duh! /eyeroll

[colour-of-faint.livejournal.com]

horror movie rule of thumb: the most sexually active die first; the prude stands alone.

[oldwillow-brook.livejournal.com]

But this is an Asian movie on an oil ring? What is the likeliness of having a sexual active couple and we KNOW about it?

It's like watching Gil Ra Im finally starring in an action film where she's not the stuntwoman, but the lead action actress.

[jaded-skys.livejournal.com]

ikr? All I'll be picturing is Joowon sitting in the audience at the premier.

[funkmunky.livejournal.com]

Nah, forget the audience - he'd have booked out the whole cinema at the premiere.

[firizsan.livejournal.com]

Her tomboy role in Secret Garden may help in this movie!

[spread.livejournal.com]

This is one of the most talked about and anticipated korean movies of 2011..
It feels like I've been waiting to see this for fucking ever!!

[spread.livejournal.com]

Ha Ji-won was great in Haeundae!!
I have so much expectation for this film.
I hope it takes the good elements of Haeundae, that made it a fairly decent catastrophe flick with a dash of sci-fi and drama from The Host.
Honestly, if this film is anything like The Host then it will be an awesome film IMO.


Sorry if I'm commenting a lot, I'm just totally hyped for this.
Kickass cast in a kickass action flick.
Can't go wrong.

[jela-ow.livejournal.com]

lol I thought this had something to do with Secret Garden

[musicsporty1.livejournal.com]

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Monster movie you say? Still can't get over how boring The Host was. So I will skip this.

[fuuism.livejournal.com]

Usually the kind of movie I can only sit through with a group of people so we can laugh at everything but unf, can't wait to see Ha Ji Won kicking some sentai monster ass.

[geekpants.livejournal.com]

UGH Ha Ji Won is so fucking beautiful ♥♥

Oh Ji Ho - hay bb.

[carissajv.livejournal.com]

Ha Ji Won is flawless, I hope she keeps this look for a while.

(and I just finished watching Secret Garden today, ide. Still in withdrawal. Way to promote her new project, SBS :P)
