Director Choi Jae-Hoon (The Swordsman) is re-teaming up with Jang Hyuk (The Flu, The Swordsman) for the upcoming South Korean action thriller The Killer (no relation to the 1989 John Woo film of the same name).
The hit man’s last mission: Keep the girl safe and sound. Ui-kang is a retired hit man. While his wife goes on a trip with her friend, she asks him a special favor to take care of her friend’s daughter. He doesn’t want to be bothered by the teenage girl but Yoon-ji gets stuck with juvenile delinquents and Ui-kang unavoidably uses a little bit of violence to protect her. However strangely, the juvenile delinquents are found dead and things start to get serious. Even worse, Yoon-ji is kidnapped by a teenager trafficking unit and Ui-kang is suspected of murder. He cannot fail his wife, he must get Yoon-ji back.
The Killer will be making its premier at the Far East Film Festival. According to FCS, M-Line Distribution has already sold the film to nearly two-dozen territories between Europe and Asia, but here’s hoping for a U.S. announcement soon!
