[zombiechick815.livejournal.com]

Assassin thriller sells to North America, German-speaking Europe, Hong Kong and further territories.

Showbox/Mediaplex has pre-sold teenage North Korean assassin thriller Commitment to multiple territories including North America (Well Go USA Entertainment) and German-speaking Europe (Splendid Films). The film stars Choi Seung-hyun, also known as TOP from the hugely successful K-pop boy group Big Bang.

Directed by Park Hong-su, the film has also sold to Hong Kong (Golden Scene), Singapore (Golden Village), Malaysia and Brunei (Hwa Yea Multimedia), Thailand and Cambodia (M Pictures) and Taiwan (Serenity Entertainment).

The film is about a teenage killer (Choi) from North Korea who volunteers after his father’s botched espionage mission to infiltrate South Korea. Posing as an ordinary schoolboy, he ends up killing people in order to protect his younger sister.

The film is currently in post-production and tentatively scheduled for an autumn release.

Showbox is also selling Yoon Jong-chan’s classical music drama My Paparotti which is making its market premiere at Filmart and upcoming boy trio spy action film Secretly Greatly, directed by Jang Cheol-soo (Bedevilled) and starring Kim Soo-hyun (The Thieves).

I was looking around the Well Go USA Entertainment website and it looks like they actually release the movies they acquire in a decent amount of theaters with English subtitles. Not going to lie, I'd be down to drive to Chicago to watch this when it comes out.

I really hope it comes to my city. :x Tulsa (OK) often gets some of the smaller movies, so I'll just have to hope.

Lol, jk, I don't have that much money. But I will see it at least once if it's there!

Still waiting for the time when Tabi and Dara will be in a drama ( I know it's never going to happen but let me be in my delusional mode.)

I wouldn't worry about it too much yet. It's not going to be released for a while yet so I would check when it gets closer to the release date.

[pon-pon-pink.livejournal.com]

i'm pretty sure the bigger cities with a big asian population might get it. Berlin, Duesseldorf, Frankfurt :/ I'm hoping my city gets it in one of the small art cinemas because they always show foreign movies.

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

yah can't wait! I live in L.A. so hopefully there's a good chance of seeing him on the big screen

He is so handsome

[teruhiko.livejournal.com]

ohhh cool, I haven't watched him in a serious role yet, only in I Am Sam, so I'd definitely be interested to see this. I'm in the UK though so it's probably gonna have to be regular interweb streaming for me...

[yaoipimp.livejournal.com]

You can get 71 Into The Fire from HMV these days :D That is a really good film...just beware the ugly crying that will occur. :/ (I have a love-hate relationship with I Am Sam)

[pon-pon-pink.livejournal.com]

If we do get it in Germany i know me and my friend will travel to see it 8D Crossing my fingers one of the Art CInemas in my city show it, since they always have good foreign movies.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I am all about TOP on my big screen ^^

[45s.livejournal.com]

Come on Toronto. We get so many movies from abroad in theaters.

[bishieaddict.livejournal.com]

[fukuzatsu-na.livejournal.com]

Yaay~~ I can buy it for 4,99€ in Germany as I bought 71: Into the fire. ^___^

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]
