Variety reports that Kim Jee-woon (김지운)’s next film will be “an idiosyncratic western set on the plains of Manchuria.” With a tentative title of “The Good, the Bad, and the Weird,” it is scheduled to start shooting in the spring of next year, in China, Mongolia, and Russia. The role of “the weird” will go to Song Kang-ho (송강호) (The Host, Memories of Murder), who previously worked with director Kim six years ago, on The Foul King (반칙왕).

    i heard about this a while ago.  apparently, Song Kang-Ho will be riding a motorcycle instead of a horse.  according to koreanfilm.org, kim jee-woon said, “you can sort of think of it as a western version of the Hong Kong film SWORDSMAN”

    i really wanna check out his 30-minute sci-fi short feature though.  it’s about an android who’s seeking Buddhist enlightenment.

    Add Lee Byung Hun (A Bittersweet Life) as the Good, Jung Woo Sung as the Bad… and let’s start drooling…
