Ahead of the release of his Netflix movie Revelations, acclaimed South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) has announced that he’s shambling back into the zombie arena with a new undead movie titled Gunche, and Deadline brings us casting news this week.
Jun Ji-hyun (My Love from the Star), Go Soo (Missing), Ji Chang-wook (The Worst of Evil) and Koo Kyo-hwan (D.P.) will star in Gunche, which has entered production.
Deadline notes, “Distributed by Showbox, the film’s English title has not been confirmed yet. In the Korean language, “gunche” means colony in a biological context.”
Interesting to note, distributor Showbox refers to the upcoming movie as “the culmination of Yeon Sang-ho’s universe, spanning from Train to Busan to Peninsula.”
Yeon Sang-ho’s hit zombie movie Train to Busan took the world by storm back in 2016, and it was followed by animated prequel Seoul Station and later 2020 live action sequel Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula. Sang-ho returned to direct both follow-up projects.
More recently, Yeon Sang-ho has been behind a handful of horror television series’, including “The Cursed,” “Hellbound,” “Monstrous,” “The Bequeathed,” and “Parasyte: The Grey.”
Yeon Sang-ho’s Revelations premieres March 21 on Netflix.
