‘Train to Busan’ Director’s ‘Colony’ Acquired by Well Go USA [Trailer]

We told you last week that South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho, best known for the global zombie hit Train to Busan, is set to return to the spotlight at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival with his latest project, Colony.

Now, we’ve learned that Well Go USA has acquired the film ahead of its huge premiere and plans to release it in theaters here in the States on August 28, 2026.

Colony marks Yeon’s return to the zombie thriller genre, following survivors trapped in a quarantined building during an infection outbreak, battling ruthless infected beings.

The film follows Professor Se-jeong as she is thrust into a terrifying hellscape when a mutating virus is unleashed during a biotech conference, forcing authorities to seal the facility to contain the outbreak. Unable to escape, Se-jeong and a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the infected undergo horrific transformations and threaten to spread the virus. 

The film stars Jun Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, and Ji Chang-wook, bringing together a high-profile cast for what is expected to be an intense, character-driven survival story.
