이병헌 “내년 상반기까지 ‘아이리스’에만 전념할 계획”

[뉴스엔 글 홍정원 기자 / 사진 황진환 기자]

지난 10일 영화 ‘좋은 놈 나쁜 놈 이상한 놈’으로 토론토 국제영화제에 참석했던 배우 이병헌(38)이 20일 귀국해 대작 드라마 ‘아이리스’ 준비에 전념한다.

이병헌은 10일 캐나다 토론토 영화제에 참석한 뒤 14일 미국 뉴욕으로 건너가 두 번째 할리우드 출연 영화 ‘지 아이 조’(G.I 조) 후반작업에 관해 논의했다.

이 병헌의 소속사 BH엔터테인먼트 측은 22일 뉴스엔과의 전화통화에서 “토론토 영화제에 참석한 뒤 뉴욕으로 가 미국 에이전시와 미팅 후 돌아왔다”며 할리우드 차기작에 대해서는 아직 구체적으로 논의되고 있는 게 없다”며 “이미 촬영을 마친 두 편의 할리우드 진출작 ‘나는 비와 함께 간다’(I Come With The Rain, 감독 트란 안 홍)와 ‘지 아이 조’(G.I. Joe, 감독 스티븐 소머즈)가 내년 여름 시즌에 개봉할 예정이어서 내년 ‘아이리스’ 촬영 때까지 다른 할리우드 출연은 미룰 생각”이라고 밝혔다.

BH 엔터테인먼트 측은 이어 “뉴욕에서 ‘지 아이 조’ 후반작업에 대해 논의하고 왔다. ‘아이리스’ 촬영이 내년까지 이어져 드라마 준비에 전념할 것”이라면서 “‘아이리스’ 방영이 내년 3, 4월을 목표로 하고 있지만 5, 6월로 미뤄질 수 있다. 아직 대본 작업 중”이라고 설명했다.

이병헌에게 ‘나는 비와 함께 간다’와 ‘지 아이 조’ 외에 다른 할리우드작 출연 제의는 빈번히 들어왔다.

BH 엔터테인먼트 측은 토론토 영화제 분위기에 대해서는 “현지에서는 ‘놈놈놈’과 배우들의 인지도나 관심이 적을 줄 알았는데 반응이 열렬해서 놀랐다”며 “배우들도 현지인들의 작품과 자신들에 대한 인지도에 궁금해했는데 아시아의 대스타들로 정확하게 알고 있더라. 아시아의 새 장르에 놀라워하고 재미있어 했고 질이 높다고 하더라”고 전했다.

이병헌은 이번 주부터 ‘아이리스’ 대본 준비와 캐릭터 분석 등에 박차를 가할 계획이다.

^ Thanks Huang for posting BH's latest update on IRIS. It's great that he wanted to focus everything on acting and co-producing the drama series. He's definitely & obviously so very busy these days.. probably till end of the year but once IRIS starts filming, etc.. there'll be no interruption whatsoever.

Hope you could share this at IRIS drama thread as well. Thanks.

[Guest Sung-ja e Seiko]

Hello everyone,

According to reliable source, LBH will come to PIFF for the GBW screening. I have not given the specific schedule but there will be a stage greetings on Oct 3 at 20:00 in Primus 10.

He is reported that he came back to Korea on Sep 20 after staying NY. He had some private time there too.

Toyota RAV4 CM also has Radio version too.

20 seconds or 60 seconds. Speaking in Japanese very well.

Someone posted at DAUM so that you can listen to his voice.

Waaa.......... so happy to know that he's back now in KOrea. So nice to hear, too that he's co-producing his drama, Iris. Can't wait to see him start filming this series soon. I'm crossing my fingers, too that he could attend KSW's wedding this Sunday.

Thanks Sung-ja for the awesome update! Looks like BH really goes back to PIFF (after all) after missing it last year due to GBW filming & the Arena Tour. Truly.. the festival loves him and vice-versa.

So.. our Hunnie had returned from NY on the 20th.. now in his office, probably.. back to work. The best news, obviously. ^^

Wishfully hoping that he'll attend the PIFF Red Carpet, too. Even though he doesn't have a premiering movie (read: ICWTR or as previously Once in a Summer in 2006).. it'll be cool seeing him at the opening night.. hopefully. :blush:

Somehow.. I have a feeling that ICWTR will only premiere next year.

*rubie zoomz to listen to BH speaking Japanese* :wub:

Similar to Sung-ja, the Japanese fans hearing the radio CM were truly surprised and very happy & pleased to hear such a calm and especially gentle voice of Byunghun in Japanese, quite a long converse in the 1-minute clip.

They've complimented that he speaks really well, too. :blush:

Urghh.. going to BH's empas news for updates today feels like being in someone else's page. And the site kept closing down on me.

Wonder what's up with Hunnie? Time to get back to all the paper-work for IRIS and such, perhaps? First half 2009 for IRIS (only) while the next half is all GI Joe, all the way. Where and when does ICWTR come into the picture?

Since BH will be at PIFF.. then.. Dir. Kim and SKH to Sitges? But if there's a GBW stage greeting on Oct 3, won't Dir. KJW/SKH/JWS be there as well? Wait a minute.. when is GBW screening in Spain? If it's on the last days of competition.. maybe they will all go..

Never say never.. :blush:

GBW Fighting! Hehee..

[Guest kimchibabe]

^

he is an enigma....a mystery. you think you've seen his all but no.

each time i look at him it feels like i'm seeing him for the first time.

he has this uncanny power...he seduces, he excites, he moves you.

and i thought that i had memorized each and every line of his face

but now i realize that i have not. i want to drown in his eyes....

and never be rescued.

[rubie]

^ Our kimchibabe-ssi is drowning in the clear waters of the swimming pool where the RAV4 CM was filmed ..

after seeing the sexy Hunnie looking the absolute BEST that he is.. :blush:

A requirement for all panda.. must learn to swim..

ps: hope you have recovered from the panicky-thrilling attack last night. Feel free to "discuss" more.. in detail.. or discreetly at the thread or PM-me-elaborate. You know I love to read, dissect and talk Byunghun-ssi.. I just don't want to ramble alone anymore. :blush:

Wonder if we'll only see BH at PIFF next week.. and not before that? Even though he's already back in Korea.. and in Korea, presumably.. our Hunnie is very quiet with no updates to read/guess. It's like he's away again.. doing his own thing.. :blush: Taking a break for BH would probably be (still) working in the office.

He's simply too quiet.. just like when there's a STORM surprise coming.. huh.. huh..

SexyHunnie-rockstar siggy for everyone. Please feel free to put it up.. no separate upload, no credits necessary. All for Hunnie, obviously. Also.. if anyone wants multi-colored blinkies.. just let me know.

I'd be happy to blink them up!

hard time..last night i was tossing and turning in bed....sugar high. i had too much of the sweetest man i have ever known.

i just love seeing him at work. you see what the man is really all about. there is no artifice. the moment he arrives, he flashes the friendliest smile and it stays. his look...so natural. hair down, casual clothes. every single move he makes makes my blood rush..the way he walks, how he talks, how he pays attention. even the single act of drinking excited me. his work ethic? he's easy to work with. he follows the script to the letter. and yes, he has his input, its expected. he's meticulous. i've seen many pictures of him looking at the monitor with that satisfied smile on his face.

then he transforms right before your very eyes...from ordinary to extraordinary. its as if i was looking at another man. he combs his hair and suddenly he looks so different. i have yet to see another actor who can do that. in his pictures... its his hair. sometimes it would look thick and black, at other times it would be brownish. when he just lets it down, it makes him look young and carefree. but with hair pampered and in place, the transformation..its surprising. and you never tire of looking at him..picture after picture because one day he'd look this way and the next time he'd look differently. he's just so attractive, dressed up or dressed down. he's so sensual both ways.

his pictures, his videos i go over and over again. his movies i want to see over and over again. its never the same..always its a new thrill, a new discovery. you think you'd seen it all but no, the feeling... its always new.

[rubie]

^ My turn to read the passage over and over.

It's easy to sense the level of respect at the workplace everytime he's working, from the production crew and vice-versa. Look how he listens so attentively at the briefing, and how he tried everything on.. giving his best, professional effort. Never mind that he was just in shorts

Yet most impressively.. how he listens to the CM director.. notice how young the guy is. And BH in return gave him his most focused attention, everytime.

Ohh.. I love seeing him in shorts.. so casual, simple, relaxed (just love knowing the other side of the actor).. and what a treat in every sense of the word. :blush: Seriously listening to the instructions, practising the dart-throw.. exercising on the spot.. simply enjoying a snack & thirst-quencher.. talking and having fun with others.. or just observing everyone else from the top floor. That's my most fave moment. Not to mention the sweetest eye-candy. LOL!

[Guest kimchibabe]

^

Exactly! my fave moment too!

him at the top floor, seeing him smile at the goings on below him. he was so at home even as he was "half-bare". he looked like he was actually displaying his buffed body from up there. but then his muscles were not as tight as in GBW. the additional muscle toning at site? wow, the training never stops! he must put some weight for he looks soooo good. ( forget the shorts, i'm imagining what he's wearing underneath!)what i do know is that its easier to develop muscles if one were leaner so i guess that's the reason why he watches his weight.

yes, he is a sight to behold, moving around with ease, making work fun and being one of the boys. one more thing, from start to end, it was always there. the beautiful smile that began his day? well, it never left his lips...
