JUNG Woo-sung and KWAK Do-won Wrap STEEL RAIN
North Korea Action Thriller from THE ATTORNEY Director Due Out Later This Year
Korean investor and distributor NEW (Next Entertainment World) reported that their incoming North Korea-themed action-thriller Steel Rain completed four months of shooting on June 8th. Director YANG Woo-suk’s follow-up to his smash hit political drama The Attorney (2013) features JUNG Woo-sung and KWAK Do-won in the lead.
Steel Rain is based on a webcomic of the same name written by director YANG. JUNG stars as a former North Korean intelligence officer who teams up with a senior member of South Korean security services played by KWAK. Together they take on a secret mission in a bid to prevent the start of a new conflict between North Korea and South Korea.
JUNG recently starred in Asura: The City of Madness last year and The King during this year’s Lunar New Year holiday while KWAK, who co-starred in Asura: The City of Madness, was the lead in NA Hong-jin’s critically-acclaimed horror smash THE WAILING. The film co-stars KIM Kap-soo (Blood and Ties, 2013), KIM Eui-sung (TRAIN TO BUSAN), LEE Gyoung-young (Inside Men, 2015), and more.
Director YANG debuted to spectacular success when his film The Attorney, with SONG Kang-ho in the lead, attracted over 11 million viewers to theaters at the end of 2013.
Steel Rain is expected to hit theaters later this year.
