Lee Byung Hun Recommends Former Co-Star Chris Pratt Should Watch His New Movie

Source: Soompi by A. Choi

Chris Pratt Lee Byung Hun

Lee Byung Hun has gone from one star-studded movie to another as he hits the trail to promote his latest movie “Master,” which also features big stars such as Kang Dong Won and Kim Woo Bin.

During a V Live broadcast, he was initially taken aback when Park Kyung Lim, the host, mentioned, “I think a lot of your colleagues in Hollywood would be waiting for this movie.” Earlier in the fall, he starred in “Magnificent Seven” alongside Hollywood heavy hitters such as Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Martin Sensmeier.

He laughed as he is asked again, “Who do you think would enjoy watching this movie?” He answered, “I think Chris Pratt would like this movie if he watched it. This is the type of genre that he enjoys.”

Park Kyung Lim then amusingly asked, “How about Ethan Hawke? One time, I saw him walking alongside the road,” revealing how much she adored the actor. Coincidentally, Lee Byung Hun had previously talked about his close friendship with Ethan Hawke during the promotional rounds for “Magnificent Seven.”

“Master” is a crime action film riddled with deceit, as a criminal investigation team hunts down the con artist and brains behind a major fraud case. It is set to premiere on December 21, 2016.

It's the year-end blues once again! bricks.gif THERE ARE TOO MANY GOOD PHOTOS!!bricks.gif Not complaining, nope, nope no2.gif but it'll be quite awhile to compile the abundance of good pics from recent updates to the upcoming ones. We still have the MAMA in HK compilations as well. But it's all good, more good sharing to come. Yesterday with three events all in one -- The V Live Interview, the Red Carpet and the Showcase Interview.  All with really fabulous pics of BH and the MA$TER cast. When it rain, it STORMS indeed. Good thing after Wednesday, I'll have about one free week without any doctor's appointment. Seeing the doctor too often kinda get you a bit more sick than not, LOL.. what to do. laughing.gif Anyway, year-end blues are good. Just a bit slow being extra shorthanded but we'll get there... hopefully before the year ends. MASTERS will be a major movie hit and lots of updates & photos coming our way. Fighting! fight.gif

A glimpse of what's more to come ... magazine pictorials of course, at least there would be 3..or more :w00t:

@parkmisoo Thank you for your wishes.  It is great to see you at the thread.  Compared to other Hong Kong Lee Byung Hun  fans who have followed him for many years, I am really a novice at standing for hours and positioning myself to see my idol.   However, I have to admit that the two days at the "Theory" store opening and at the airport are truly memorable!

At the “ Theory” store opening, the media asked Lee Byung Hun where he will take his wife in Hong Kong.  He said: “ Hong Kong is famous for its cuisine and I would like to introduce her to a good place”.  He added that she has friends in Hong Kong and has gone to see them.

Have not found any English article on this previous update but Google-translate on the Korean news seems pretty straightforward to understand.

Either way, Congrats to Lee Byung Hun and hope to see more award pics on December 12.

South Korean Crime Thriller "Master" debuts in N. America on January 6, 2017

Source: CJ Entertainment via Hancinema.net

Asia's leading studio CJ Entertainment, the signature film division of major media and content company CJ E&M, is releasing the action-packed South Korean crime thriller, "Master" in theaters across North America on January 6, 2017. The film will have viewers at the edge of their seats as they follow a high-tech cat and mouse chase to stop one of the biggest corporate frauds in history.

In "Master", a major crimes investigation team led by the charismatic and aggressive detective Kim Jae-myeong - played by Kang Dong-won ("A Violent Prosecutor", "The Priests", and "JEON WOO CHI : The Taoist Wizard") - works to take down One Network Inc. a company involved in a multibillion-dollar heist. The corporation is led by Chairman Jin – a notorious swindler – played by Hollywood star Lee Byung-hun (Magnificent 7, Red 2). The popular Korean TV actor, Kim Woo-bin ("The Con Artists", "Twenty"), plays Park Jang-goon, Jin's right-hand man and an expert computer programmer who's intentions are not as predictable as we may think. The clock is ticking for Detective Kim to finally stop the corrupt corporation once and for all.
 
"Master" is directed by Jo Eui-seok, who's previous title "Cold Eyes" drew over 5 million admissions in 2013.
