Hi Korean! This is great news, & to hear the director is helming a sci-fi flick next is an exciting prospect (as long as it’s better than ‘Fabricated City’!). Thanks for sharing the link.

This film is the best Korean Academy of Film Arts(where Bong Joon-ho graduated from) graduation project in history ever. Yoon Sung-hyun became a new rising star filmmaker of next generation by this graduation film among Korean cinephile.
After success of this film, he wanted commercial film debut. But the reason why he haven’t been put out new film so long is because production of his film was canceled.He didn’t compromise with investors who wanted to interfere in. He said in interview 2years ago ” I had a lot of chances to make commercial film but I don’t want to lose my color”. I heard he also ignored advice from professors when he filmed graduation project Bleak Night.

His canceled movie was SF action suspense set in reunited Korea. And he wrote new scenario. It’s also ‘action thriller with a liitle bit fantasy’ by his expression.He said ‘suspense element’ is criterion of commercial film to him. Fortunately, His new movie finished filing in May. It will be released this year.

Synopsis: Set in near future, economic crisis hit south korea. In slum area, four friends plan dangerous crime for seeking new utopia.And a mysterious men chase them.
Lee Je-hoon is the protagonist who make reckless plan new start to leave for island he had been dreamed of.

Every Korean movie fans hope not to be disappointed by his new film unlike Jang chul-soo who became new rising star by his indie feature debut,bedeviled, but made terrible commercial film since then.

Wait his new film! This is the still cut.

For some reason I’ve never gotten around to checking this one out, but having now just caught up on reading this review, I think that needs to change quite fast!

Bleak Night and Forgotten just absolutely blew me away. S. Korea puts out so much good stuff and I think some get’s overlooked because the poster images are not “genre” enough. Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned is another genre-defying movie that just rocks.

I’m glad you enjoyed the film as much as I did. It’s certainly among my favorite films as well, and I share your disbelief that this director has yet to make another movie! I’d love to see what he would do as a follow-up.
