OLD BOY Fight Choreographer Dies On Set Of THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE WEIRD

Posted by Todd Brown at 8:16am

That this happened at all is truly tragic. That superstition is keeping people from talking about it in public seems to me a great injustice.

You probably don’t know Ji Jung-Hyeon’s name but if you are at all a fan of Korean action film then you definitely know his work. The veteran stunt man and action choreographer has played a significant role in a number of recent Korean hits, ranging from A Bittersweet Life to Musa to The Restless and had a growing international reputation, as his work on Mongol would indicate. But his best known work will always be the famous hammer fight sequence in Park Chan Wook’s Old Boy, a fight which Ji choreographed. And I say that will always be his best known work because he will never have the chance to top it.

Ji was killed when his car was struck by a lumber truck while working as the assistant action director on Kim Ji-Woon’s The Good, The Bad And The Weird. That’s the tragic part. The travesty is that nobody attached to Kim’s film or in the Korean media is saying much of anything about it at all for fear of bringing bad luck down upon the production. The only reason we know about it is because new Korean documentary Action Boys - a film by Korean stunt men about Korean stunt men, soon to debut at the New York Asian Film Festival - pays a tribute to him and his career. A shame on many levels ...

rubie -- Reading the article at first, makes one feels bad. The accident did happen.. I actually knew (but didn't remember) about the accident.. it was mentioned at Jung Doo Hong's thread, a martial arts expert & stunt director who's involved in the 3 movies. The JDH threadmistress, Kseniya.. an ardent Russian fan of Mr. Jung had the first news of the accident because the late stuntman was one of JDH's team and his best friend. JDH was devastated to say the least but the production moved ahead the way it should be. It didn't occur to me that it happened while he was working for GBW (maybe not related to the scenes) but that's the irony of life.. accidents happen to everyone even the most experienced when we don't expect & certainly never wish for the mishap.

Not saying much about the accident.. doesn't mean that the production had forgotten about what happened. We wouldn't know if things have been settled, compensation given & a special tribute. These things might already have planned but never publicized.

[rubie]

lets believe that, the production company is the professional.. they know how !

dun be worry dear.. its not surprised to see some familar lurking arround but not stopping by.. see, many attractive n sedusive men around... and also many new project to come up too

or our BADDIE scared them, ahhahha **kidding**

Maybe The BAD scared you too? Is he still your Hunnie?

Maybe you have a change of heart already.. huh.. huh?

I also saw willenette at the GBW thread... sometimes.. I'm just so puzzled at things that will actually make people stop to post & reply.

---

Yeah.. I believe the production company would know better about the situation and (agreeable or not).. had handled it their way.

Prelude to BH's Birthday

Why did you take the role of Chang-I in 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird'? Isn’t it your first villain role? Were you concerned about being portrayed as a villain?

One day I thought I had been too careful why was I so careful in my choice of role even though I was still young? I should have been learning by trial and error so I thought it’s not too late to change. I wanted to open myself up wide. The character Ching-I in 'The Good, The Bad, The Weird' was the first villain I have played in my 17 years as an actor. However, it is interesting that, coincidently, SOO Pong-po in 'I Come with the Rain' is also a villain and Storm shadow in 'G.I. Joe' is also a villain, at least superficially

I was recommended 'G.I. Joe' last year, and I thought the work was attractive. I looked at the treatment and was impressed. As a matter of fact, the negative factor was that it was already 60% made. What bothered me at the time was that the movie would be made for all viewers, regardless of age and gender. However as I have said before, I thought it would be better to regret dong it after trying, rather than regret not trying, and my acquaintances advised me to do it. Director Park Chan Wook also told me that it seemed right for me.

i totally do not understand why it caused the trouble to the airing.

We are very sorry and regret to hear about his tragic dead but the production is complete, right? why it found any trouble?? i dun understand! !!

[rubie]

you might be in bad mood hah? :blush:

why i have to be mixed up! it is just kidding... Hunnie is Hunnie while the baddie role is still the baddie..

Aigoo.. can't you tell from "kidding back at you" tsk tsk.. ..

Its not our fault if not regularly posting in the thread..

Wah.. TY.. you've given a totally unexpected very straight answer.

Well said dear, good for you. ^^ Of course, it's not your fault.. but rubie's fault. Everyone knows that.

Firstly, the late stuntman is not someone unknown in the movie industry, looking at his impressive profile. The production may have their reason for not making a big news about the accident but .. to non-Koreans or non-fans, etc.. it's not a really nice update to read happening in the highly-anticipated production. People might make an issue out of it.

No one wants accidents to happen.. no one.. but .. the article.. (without us understanding the real situation) might coerce readers to think that the production is to blame for the accident (by keeping quiet).. which we don't even know if it had happened while scenes were being filmed.

i m still confused why they have to distinguish non-Korea vs Korean; non-fan vs fan.. tsk tsk...

and we are still in the dark of whether the accident happened during filming of afterward..

Aish!

[kitty00j]

Can someone advise me whether Lee Byung Hun speaks good english as he has been participating in a few holly wood movies, but can't deny that his acting skill is fantastic?

I will really like to see him pair with Sung Yuri in his 2009 new drama, just my personal thought, don't know why since they have not cooperate before.

Mr Lee fighting.

Hello kitty00j, welcome to EverythingLBH! Very happy to see you here. I've seen your posts at the IRIS thread, too.

For someone who did not study abroad.. LBH speaks very good and clear English, he's also very good in conversational English.. often used at international fests, short speech and various projects. LBH has two upcoming movies in full English.. namely 'I Come With The Rain' to be released around October 2008 and GI Joe, in August 2009.

This is a short clip of LBH answering in English at the Fendi Party after the 58th Cannes filmfest 2005 (thanks to f32000 and Celina)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goQ28teN9tk

We can't wait for IRIS to start rolling as well. Personally, I don't mind anyone pairing with him because LBH is really a good actor who can adapt to any co-star and make them at ease & vice-versa. I think Sung Yuri is really beautiful and she has really improved her acting ability, too. There's always the first time.

As of now.. no one has any idea on the production nor the cast. There have been some speculation but who knows that the final cast will be a surprise to all.

Let's hope for the best, huh!

Let's just hope for the best for GBW.. ok. *FightingFightingFighting!*

Most comments are mainly my own personal thoughts & my point of view only (which may not be correct at all), hopefully no one will take it wrongly as we still don't know the situation.. just from what Twitchfilm had written.

Don't want to confuse anyone unnecessarily about this.. it's just an update to ponder..

The Good, the Bad, and the Weird sets July 17th for release date

Posted by luna6

Most likely to be the Korean movie of the year (at least in terms of box office receipts) is coming that much closer to its final release date. Production company, CJ Entertainment, has announced the firm release date of July 17th, 2008 as the opening day for Ji-woon Kim’s highly anticipated Asian western, “The Good, the Bad, and the Weird.”

If you don’t know by now, “The Good, the Bad, and the Weird” stars 3 of Korea’s biggest acting names: Woo-sung Jung (The Good), Byung-hun Lee (The Bad), and Kang-ho Song (The Weird) set in the outbacks of Manchuria, China circa 1930. The movie features plenty of trains, guns, and horses chases all in pursuit of a mystical map leading to gold. If you don’t believe me check out the trailer below (please refer link provided). If you can’t tell by now I’m really stoked to see this.

Actually, the news of the confirmed July 17th release date have been known for quite awhile.. especially at CJ Ent and GBW official site & the Korean media, too. Only that Lunapark6 got it a bit later than everyone else. But I'll still post anything on GBW (not just the good news, even the bad and weird updates as well >.< ).. and personally, I just like Lunapark6's version of the news.

ps: TY, you didn't realize the tagline or description of this thread had already been using July 17th date since weeks ago (around Cannes fest time).. .. huh.. huh..

but of course.. it's not your fault that you didn't see it..

7월 극장가 놈-님-눈이 살릴까? [2008-06-19 17:31:01]

[뉴스엔 홍정원 기자]

‘놈’, ‘님’, ‘눈’이 충무로 살릴까?

7월 극장가에서 국내외 영화들의 치열한 전쟁이 예상되는 가운데 ‘놈’, ‘님’, ‘눈’이 올여름 키워드로 떠오르고 있다.

7월 한 주 간격으로 나란히 개봉을 앞두고 있는 영화 ‘좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈’(이하 놈놈놈), ‘님은 먼곳에’, ‘눈에는 눈 이에는 이’(이하, 눈눈이이) 등 세 편의 한국 블록버스터가 각기 다른 장르로 승부수를 던진다.

7월을 연이어 장식할 세 작품은 김지운, 이준익, 곽경택 등 흥행력이 있는 감독들과 송강호, 이병헌, 정진영, 한석규, 차승원 등 연기파 배우들의 만남으로 기대를 모으게 하고 있다.

1930년대 만주에서 정체 불명의 지도 한 장을 둘러싸고 쫓고 쫓기는 놈들의 추격전을 그린 ‘놈놈놈’은 한국형 웨스턴 장르를 표방하며 새로운 재미를 장담하고 있다. 7월17일 개봉한다. 정우성 이병헌 송강호가 각각 ‘좋은 놈’ ‘나쁜 놈’ ‘이상한 놈’으로 등장해 치열한 액션을 펼친다.

1970년대 베트남 전쟁이 한창이던 시절 가수가 돼 전쟁 한복판으로 뛰어드는 시골 아낙네 순이(수애)의 여정을 그린 ‘님은 먼곳에’는 휴머니즘을 더한 블록버스터로 승부수를 띄운다. 청순미의 대명사 수애의 파격 연기 변신이 주목 받고 있다. 엄태웅 정재영이 함께 출연했다. 7월24일 관객을 찾아간다.

천재적인 범인(차승원)의 완전 범죄에 말려든 백전백승 백반장(한석규)의 예측불허 반격과 짜릿한 승부를 그린 범죄 액션 대작 ‘눈눈이이’는 서울 도심 한복판뿐 아니라 전국 주요 도시에서 펼치는 대형 카 액션과 리얼한 범죄 장면 등으로 7월 말을 장식할 예정이다. 한석규의 백발과 차승원의 스타일리시한 변신이 눈길을 끈다. 7월31일 개봉된다.
