After nine long months of shooting in Busan, Kwak Kyung-Taek’s 15 Billion Won blockbuster 태풍 (Typhoon) plans to wrap up tomorrow, August 1. The film - starring Jang Dong-Gun, Lee Jung-Jae and Lee Mi-Yeon - has received a lot of attention, especially from the Japanese media (over 300 reporters stormed to Busan to see the two top stars square off). Starting its shooting in Bangkok (Thailand) and Vladivostok (Russia) along with the Korean port city in October of last year, the film will go right into post-production, completing the editing and adding the CG. A release is expected for December 2005.

Another film wrapping up shooting is the directorial debut of Bang Eun-Jin 오로라공주 (Princess Aurora), starring Eom Jung-Hwa and Moon Sung-Geun. The film spent 4 months shooting between Seoul, CheongJu and Busan, finishing last July 30.
Bang, a longtime actress appearing in dozens of films, commented: “I still can’t believe it. I’m really thankful to the cast & crew who trusted and followed me. I didn’t pay attention to everyone while shooting, but as the editing progressed all I had in mind was the trust and hard work the crew put in shooting the film.”
The film is expected to release this October.
