THE SPY GONE NORTH Filmmakers Venture Forth for New Business
The Spy Gone North director YOON Jong-bin is setting up shop with SANAI Pictures head HAN Jae-duk . The director and the producer who have worked on a number of successful projects together will establish an as-yet-unnamed investment and production company.
Director YOON , who got his start with the acclaimed indie The Unforgiven (2005), has successfully moved into the commercial arena since his 2012 crime saga Nameless Gangster : Rules of the Time. He also runs his own production company named MOONLIGHT Film.
HAN got his start as a line producer on PARK Chan-wook’s Old Boy (2003) and went on to produce RYOO Seung-wan’s Crying Fist (2005), The Unjust (2010) and The Berlin File (2013), as well as Director YOON’s first commercial breakthrough, Nameless Gangster : Rules of the Time. In 2012, HAN founded SANAI Pictures, which has delivered PARK Hoon-jung ’s New World (2013) and KIM Sung-soo’s Asura : The City of Madness (2016), among others.
After working together on YOON’s prior film KUNDO : Age of the Rampant (2014), SANAI Pictures and MOONLIGHT Film began to collaborate, producing the Lunar New Year smash A Violent Prosecutor (2016) and the successful crime comedy The Sheriff in Town (2017), both released last year. Earlier this year, their last effort, YOON’s The Spy Gone North, debuted as a midnight screening at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is currently on release in Korea, where it has welcomed 4.34 million viewers in just over two weeks.
