Good story though unrealistic. It is also the reunion of #JeonDoYeon and LBH. Liked the angst of KGE's role but LBH & JDY brought the drama to higher level. Their chemistry is really good.

JEON Do-yeon in Talks for HIP DADDY
THE OUTLAWS Director Already at Work on 3rd Feature

 

by Pierce Conran KOFIC

 

 

JEON Do-yeon is reportedly in talks to star in Hip Daddy (literal title), the next film by director KANG Yun-sung, known for THE OUTLAWS (2017).

 

If she signs on, the film would see her play a professional woman who is raising a child on her own. When her child falls ill, she searches for the sperm donor father in order to get his help for a transplant surgery.

 

Known for LEE Chang-dong’s Secret Sunshine, which earned her the Best Actress Award from the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, among a slew of other classic films, JEON briefly stepped away from the big screen in 2016, following LEE Yoon-ki’s A Man and A Woman. She returned earlier this year in the critically acclaimed drama Birthday alongside SUL Kyung-gu, and she will soon be back on screen alongside JUNG Woo-sung in the thriller Beasts Clawing at Straws, which is currently in post-production.

 

Director KANG, who score a major hit with his acclaimed crime drama THE OUTLAWS, the Chuseok holiday season winner of 2017 with over seven million admissions, is proving to be a prolific commercial filmmaker. Hip Daddy would be his third film after Long Live the King, which just debuted in theaters in Korea on June 19 and has so far amassed over 800,000 viewers (USD 6 million) after a week on release.

 

JEON’s agency MANAGEMENT SOOP confirmed that Hip Daddy is one among several offers that the actress is currently considering.

Favorite films come to life in Lotte Annual Art Project

While organizers of the film industries are hosting various events to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Korean Cinema, Lotte Annual Art Project (LAAP) will also celebrate it with style. 

 

The project is in second year to host simultaneous exhibitions in Lotte galleries across the country under one unifying theme. Last year was fashion, and this year is films under the title of “Behind the Scenes.” Added atop with director Bong Joon-ho’s achievement of winning the Palme d’Or for “Parasite,” the project had singled out films as an important part of local popular culture. 

 

 

“Through this project, we wanted to provide the viewers [of the exhibitions] a space to talk about their most memorable scenes in films,” art director of the Lotte Gallery Kim Hyun-kyung said as she explained the motive behind the exhibitions at the press conference on Friday. “Usually when we watch films, we are only left with feelings or memories of the scenes. So we wanted the viewers to remanence and share with others the special moments or powerful emotions they’ve experienced while watching films through the artist’s works.”

 

At the Jamsil branch, eastern Seoul, artworks of 100 contemporary artists are displayed in the area which reinterpret their favorite cinematic scenes across canvas. Moreover, the organizers asked film-related collectors such as Yang Hae-nam, Choi Kyu-sung and culture critic Choi Ji-woong to share their collections with the audience. Yang is an avid collector of film posters, currently in possession of 2,400 posters from 1989. Choi is a graphic designer of film posters, postcards, archive books, and more and will share his works with the audience. Lastly, culture critic Choi collects the LPs and albums of the films’ original soundtracks. 

 

Besides Jamsil branch, other exhibitions are being held across total of 10 branches- four in Seoul, and each one at Incheon, Daejeon, Ilsan, Daegu, Gwangju and Busan. 

 

In Incheon, under the sub title of “Wes Anderson: Nostalgia,” the organizers want the audience to indirectly experience the scenes in the director’s representative work “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (2014) by recreating the scent that Gustave wears, the L’Air de Panache cologne, through the local brand Sutome Apothecary. Inside the gallery, the audience can also taste a whip of Mendl’s cake that also acts as a scene-stealer in the film. 

 

Other exhibitions include “Summer Cinema: Rho Jae Oon Project in Avenuel” held at the main branch in Myeong-dong, “Hidden Pictures in Cinema” in Yeongdeungpo, and Ilsan branch’s “Bric_Behind the Scenes.” All the exhibitions will be held until July 28.

A movie-themed cultural festival to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Korean cinema kicked off in downtown Seoul on Saturday.

The two-day festival on the Gwanghwamun square in the city center includes a ceremony to mark the centennial and a program to give visitors a chance to experience the filming process of two Korean films ― "Train to Busan," a smash hit zombie film from 2016, and "The Himalayas," an adventure movie released in 2015.

 

There will be displays of movie posters from the past century, screenings of 100 short Korean films made by 100 directors and special corners where visitors can listen to popular original sound tracks of hit Korean movies.

 

On Sunday, a concert will be held at the same venue, with silver screen and K-pop stars including Jeon Do-yeon, Park Joong-hoon and Kim Yoon-ah attending.

 

The Gwanghwamun Festival is the highlight of a series of events and festivals organized by the Korean Film Council, a government agency for the promotion of Korean films, and industry figures to mark the 100th birthday of Korea's first film, "Righteous Revenge" by Kim Do-san, a century ago.

 

On Wednesday, an international seminar started a three-day run. A number of film experts and researchers gathered to look back on the history of Korean film and discuss ways to promote the industry in the future.
