Shin Ha-Kyun Joins Park Chan-Wook’s THIRST

OldBoy director Park Chan-Wook’s next film just keeps looking better and better.  When word came that Park was making a vampire film, that fact alone was enough to guarantee my butt would be in a seat at my first available opportunity to see the film.  When word came that Song Kang Ho was slated to be in the lead role I was even more excited.  And now Shin Ha-Kyun - the stellar star of Save The Green Planet and Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance has joined the cast.  Song and Shin are arguably the two finest actors working in Korean film today so getting the two of them together in the same project is a big, big deal.

    should be interesting. Park Chan Wook + Vampires should be something special. I just wonder if he is going to use Western Vampires or if he is going to take more from Asian vampire folklore

    Either way he’s going to create something memorable.  I frigging love this guy’s films.  Every single one of ‘em!  Can’t wait!  I’m in complete agreement, it should definitely be interesting.

    Yup, I do hope he incorporates some Asian Vampire folklore into it though. Now that would be sweet.
