A Korean-style occult masterpiece meets the audience at the theater this summer. The main character is the movie "Lion" (director Kim Joo-hwan, distribution Lotte Entertainment), which is once again coincided with director Kim Joo-hwan and Park Seo-joon of "Youth Police". It is not easy to express the genre of "lion" in one word: it is a mystery Action, a fantasy horror film, and an occult film about a supernatural phenomenon that can not be scientifically explained. Director Kim Joo-hwan explained 'Lion' as a movie with two men's warm drama in 'Super Natural Thriller'.
"The Lion" is a film about the story of the martial arts champion Yonghu (Park Seo-joon) meeting the Kuma priest Anshinbu (Ahn Sung-ki) and confronting the powerful evil (), which has confused the world. The Kuma priest appears and draws about the unknown evil and power, and it is filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
Kim Joo-hwan, who worked for a movie investment distributor and collected 5.6 million viewers as a commercial movie debut 'Youth Police', talked about the beginning of the Korean superhero world view through 'Lion', which wrote a direct scenario.
What movie is "Lion"?
Two years after "Youth Police," I returned to the summer tentpole movie. I'm with Park Seo-joon again.
Why is it centered on "guma" (exorcism, the act of expelling evil or evil forces from people or things)? It is not a story that we can easily know, but how did the preliminary investigation and coverage proceed?
Why did you cast Ahn Sung-ki as a Kumasaje?
"Lion" is an occult genre film, a big-budget masterpiece with a large budget: what is the difference between this film and other occult films?
'Lion' seems to have a difference from existing movies, such as Action and CG, which is different.
I would have put a lot of effort in the second half, but there was no hard work.
