Korean superhero pic ‘Jeon Woo Chi’ starts filming in August.

Not known for pumping out superhero flicks like their American counterparts the Korean film industry wants to show the world what they can do with the genre. Choi Dong-hoon [Tazza] and producer Lee Eugene [Voice of a Murderer] have green-lit a production that will begin filming in August and aim to release in Summer of 2009.
Pic, tentatively titled “Jeon Woo Chi,” borrows from an anonymously written novel from the Chosun Dynasty period featuring a magician who punishes corrupt officials. Adapting and modernizing the story Choi’s script sees a cursed Taoist magician resurrected 500 years later to cure the evils of the modern age. Lee and Choi have assembled an A-list cast headed by Kang Dong-won (”M”), Lim Su-jeong (”I’m a Cyborg, but That’s OK”) and Kim Yoon-suk in what will be his first major role since this year’s smash hit “The Chaser.” He plays a dangerous, evil spirit.
