Zip Cinema’s Next Production: BLACK PRIESTS
Following their collaboration in 2009 for
Woochi, actors
KIM Yun-seok and
GANG Dong-won are considering partnering up once again for
Black Priests (W/T), the next Zip Cinema production.
Both actors are currently in the last stages of negotiations for their roles according to KIM’s management company Sim Entertainment, and are trying to confirm their schedules. Rumor has it that the two actors were excited about the film after reading the scenario.
Black Priests is about two Catholic priests who get involved in an incident. The film will be directed by
JANG Jae-hyun, who won Best Film in the Extreme Nightmare section at the 13th Mise-en-scene Short Film Festival (MSFF) this year for his short
12th Assistant Deacon. Black Priests will be the feature version of
12th Assistant Deacon and is the JANG’s first commercial feature. It is possible that GANG had his eyes on director JANG’s work after participating at MSFF as a jury member this year.
Zip Cinema is still working on finalizing casting and has yet to find the female protagonist. They are planning to find a new face through an open audition, and if all goes as planned, the film will start shooting in February next year.
