Park Chan-Wook’s Vampire Film Finds its Leading Lady
South Korean director Park Chan-Wook was apparently having a lot of trouble finding a leading lady for his vampire movie (tentatively titled “Evil Live”), mostly due to the film requiring a healthy amount of sex and nudity from her. Now it appears as if Park has finally found someone willing to strip for her art [...]

As much as I marvel at the insanity surrounding the Edison Chen sex scandal, I marvel more at the kid’s game. Again, you gotta consider the circumstances: a supporting actor, mildly okay looking, manages to not only land some of Hong Kong’s hottest starlets, but get them to agree to take pictures “in the act”, [...]

I haven’t been keeping up with Kim Ji-Woon’s latest, a Korean Western called “The Good, The Bad, and The Weird” in recent months, mostly because it’s Korean and I don’t have that much insight into Korean movie news; plus, I just assume it’ll be out when it’ll be out, and leave it at that. But [...]

If the new Chinese martial arts epic “An Empress and the Warriors” (seriously, who came up with this title?) doesn’t feature massive battle scenes (and often), or weird, “300″-esque roving bands of assassins, then I’m going to be sorely disappointed, because that’s what these new batches of “Empress” images promise, and dagnabbit, I want my [...]

“Mother” marks the return of acclaimed actor turned director Ha Myung Joong, whose 1984 effort “The Blazing Sun” was the first Korean film to play at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Golden Bear.

Danny Pang returns with “In Love With the Dead”, his latest solo effort away from brother Oxide, and a film which sees him trying something slightly different from the usual ghostly shenanigans for which he is so well known. Of late, the Pangs’ supernatural films, whether working together or separately, have been rather patchy in [...]

Singer Rain to Star in the Wachowskis’ Ninja Assassin
Looks like it’s going to start raining in Hollywood. Or, er, Rain, anyway. The South Korean singer (real name Jeong Ji-hoon) will be making his Hollywood debut in the Wachowski Brothers’ upcoming “Speed Racer”, where he apparently made such an impression that the duo have casted him as the lead in their new actioner [...]

If you know the name Kwak Jae-Young, it’s probably from his 2001 mega hit “My Sassy Girl”, the romantic comedy that launched a thousand imitators in Asia, 99% of them in South Korea alone, as well as a Hollywood remake starring Elisha Cuthbert. Kwak Jae-Young’s latest is the sci-fi/romantic comedy “Cyborg She”, or “Cyborg Girl”, [...]
