Yupyup, many of the articles still mixed the "good" and the "bad" roles up. :unsure:

But the posters are clear indication of who's playing who.. right?

The location they're going to are indeed awesome with majestic sceneries... the movie is going to have such an impressive real backdrop, the great desert as far as the eyes can see. Can't wait for more movie updates, some fans are probably making plans to follow the production there. :rolleyes:

Black House Will Screen In Japan

Black House (Geomeun Jib) is currently a hit in Korean cinemas and will next attempt to woe Japanese audiences. The horror film will open in October in 250 Japanese cinemas, a number equaling BONG Joon-ho’s The Host’ Japanese release.

Monster and horror films take an important place in the Japanese film culture and they are worldwide considered as masters of those genres. The wide-releases and the great anticipation of the horror film Black House and the monster film The Host in Japan is regarded as a significant feat.

Black House is directed by SHIN Terra (Brainwave) and profits from the structure of the original Japanese novel by Kishi Yusuke. The CJ Entertainment film was co-produced with the Japanese Kadokawa Pictures. HWANG Jung-min (You Are My Sunshine) has been praised for his performance in Black House.

Director SHIN Terra’s horror film Black House ended an eight week drought for Korean cinema by opening in the number one spot at the end of June. The last Korean film to top the box office was KIM Han-min’s thriller Paradise Murdered, back in April. Korean films have so far a disappointing 47.7% domestic market share in the first half of 2007.

The CJ Entertainment production’s revenue was US$ 3.6 million and was screened on 353 screens in its opening weekend. Korean cinema has been somewhat struggling after the booming last few years, culminating in a record-breaking 2006. The slump encompasses domestic box office performances and international sales.

However, when looking further than defining success in financial terms, Korean cinema gained further international acclaim and recognition, including a prestigious Best Actress Award for JEON Do-yeon at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in LEE Chang-dong’s Secret Sunshine; and enjoys continuing international anticipation towards Korean films, exemplified in European record deals for KIM Jee-woon’s unfinished The Good, The Bad and the Weird and Black House’ upcoming wide-release in Japan.

^ Wow! They really built all that! :o It's such a huge and extensive setting for the movie like a whole town being set up but of course, an epic is in the making that needs incredible backdrop to truly convey the content of the movie. They really have all the oriental elements going on with the Korean against Japanese in mainland China.

Thanks jicks for sharing these awesome caps, really appreciate it but I completely agree with you.. we want more pics of the guys!!! :lol:

The production, cast and crew are leaving for China soon for their filming.. hope we get some great caps.. later. :blush:

Macquarie consortium buys Megabox for $157 million

Written by Darcy Paquet

SEOUL – South Korean studio Mediaplex announced on Wednesday that it has sold its third-ranked exhibition chain Megabox to a group of foreign investors.

The newly formed Korea Multiplex Investment Corporation, led by Australian banking group Macquarie, puchased the entire holding of Mediaplex's 2.93 million shares for $156.5 million.

Together with the sale, the two sides signed a two year agreement under which Mediaplex will continue to operate the theater chain in return for $10.8 million plus a package of incentives.

The news has raised a certain degree of alarm in a country where large-scale foreign acquisitions are often greeted with suspicion. Megabox, which operates 19 venues and 155 screens including the world's busiest multiplex at the COEX Mall in Seoul, now becomes the first exhibition chain to be wholly-owned by foreign interests.

Meanwhile, speculation is also rife over the future of Mediaplex and its powerful movie distribution/investment arm Showbox.

The company issued a press release on Wednesday detailing its intention to increase the activities of its newly-launched production division Motion 101, with 4-5 in-house productions planned per year. The company also intends to assemble additional pools of film financing, to be used for a variety of projects including big-budget ($10 million+) projects.

Nonetheless, Showbox has been seen to be losing ground to rival distributor CJ Entertainment in securing high-profile projects. In an unusual move in late June, Showbox pulled out of director Kim Jee-woon's high-profile western "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" in mid-production, with CJ taking over as pic's local investor and distributor.

Showbox is currently preparing for the launch of the massive English-language project "D-War", which is rumored by some to have severely compromised the company's finances.

Budgeted at $70 million, pic bows on August 1 in Korea and will get go out stateside in mid-September via Freestyle Releasing.

Dialogue: Jeong Tae-sung of Korea's Showbox

By Mark Russell

Since producing the critically praised "Spring in My Hometown" and helping to found the Pusan International Film Festival's marketplace, the Pusan Promotion Plan, in the 1990s, Jeong Tae-sung has served as chief operating officer at Showbox, one of South Korea's biggest movie companies. At Showbox, a Mediaplex affiliate, Jeong has been involved in many of the biggest blockbusters in Korean history, including "The Host" and "Taegukgi." Just ahead of the Aug. 1 Showbox release of "D-War," the most expensive Korean movie ever made, Jeong chatted with The Hollywood Reporter's Korea correspondent, Mark Russell.

THR: Is everything on track for "D-War"?

Jeong: Yes, we just had the first screening of the finished film anywhere in Los Angeles last week. It opens in Korea on Aug. 1, on over 500 screens. Then, it opens in the United States in mid-September on around 1,500 screens.

We are targeting both young people and families in Korea, along with people in their 30s who might fondly remember director Shim Hyung-rae's children's movies of the 1980s and '90s. In fact, this time we are focusing our marketing on Shim, because everyone in Korea knows him and his films.

Even though his last film (the 1999 monster movie "Yonggari") did not do well, he did not give up.

THR: Is this "D-War" much different from the version people saw at the American Film Market last year?

Jeong: Yes, quite different. That was 106 minutes long, but the version we are releasing is down to 90 minutes. All the post-production only got finished in May. The final version is much tighter, faster, with better f/x and sound. We're very happy with how it has turned out.

THR: What was the final cost?

Jeong: We officially announced the budget at $30 million. Earlier numbers that were talked about, $70 million, or whatever, were just rumors or included a lot of other investments by Younggu Art, the production company. But the final project equity is $30 million, and Showbox invested one-third of that.

THR: This week, Mediaplex announced it was selling your exhibition division, Megabox, to Macquarie Funds for $159 million. Was this deal done because Mediaplex is having money problems? Are you pulling out of the movie market altogether?

Jeong: No, we're not pulling out of the movie business. We have enough money, but now we are expanding. Not only us, but On Media and the other parts of the Orion Group.

Yes, we sold Megabox, but we are keeping management of the company for the next 10 years. With the money we raised in the deal, we will put it into contents – films, cable TV, other media and so on.

THR: There have been rumors that you turned over Kim Jee-woon's "The Good, the Bad and the Weird" to CJ Entertainment because its budget was growing too large.

Jeong: I cannot comment on the reason we gave up that film.

THR: But you are in Korea for the long haul?

Jeong: Yes, we are here for the long term. We have five film funds, worth over $50 million in total. Our production company Motion 101 is making three to five films a year. We are investing in John Woo's "Red Cliff", and we are in talks with Hollywood, too, to make a big, English-language co-production.

It's true there is a lot of upheaval these days -- (production company) Sidus FNH is starting its own distribution, and Chungeorahm is resuming its own distribution, too, so who knows? When there's risk, there's also opportunity. The Korean film industry has been growing for 10 years, so probably it was time for reform. Reform is always painful, but it is good for the long run.

Korean film exports see further slump

Written by Darcy Paquet

SEOUL – Exports of South Korean films showed another precipitous drop in the first half of 2007, according to a report issued by the Korean Film Council.

A total of 148 deals totaling $7.49 million were recorded in the first half, a 66.6% drop from the previous year. After expanding for nine years in a row to reach its peak in 2005 at $76 million for the year as a whole, South Korean exports have now settled roughly to 2002 levels.

Japan, the territory which powered the mid-decade boom, showed the biggest drop, with $2.2 million worth of deals recorded, compared to $8.7 million over the first half of 2006. Japanese buyers have kept their wallets shut following a string of box office failures in the territory, together with a perceived slackening of interest in Korean pop culture.

Other territories that showed decline include Thailand ($1.7 million to $760,000) and the U.S. ($925,000 to $150,000). Increases were notched in France ($1 million to $1.8 million), Taiwan ($145,000 to $230,000), and Hong Kong ($165,000 to $225,000).

This year's decline stands as a further indication of the settling of the Korean Wave within Asia. But it also reflects the fact that few large scale genre projects are currently in the pipeline, with the notable exception of Kim Jee-woon's epic Western "The Good, the Bad, the Weird", currently in production in China.

“The Good, the Bad, and the Weird” ETA 2008

Written by luna6 (Aug 1, 2007)

A movie I am personally stoked to see would be “The Good, the Bad, and the Weird” by Ji-woon Kim. The movie is in production as we speak and is slated for an early 2008 release. So what’s so interesting about “The Good, the Bad, and the Weird” …you may ask? Well the movie takes the spirit of the classic Sergio Leone spaghetti-Western flick “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly” and spins it into a novel “Oriental Western” idea. The movie is set in Manchuria, China in the 1930’s and centers around three Korean men and their entanglement with the Japanese army, Chinese and Russian bandits.

Not only is the premise compelling, but those three Korean men would be played by none other than: Kang-ho Song (Secret Sunshine/The Show Must Go On), Byung-hun Lee (A Bittersweet Life), and Woo-sung Jung (The Restless). If you’re wondering… Woo-sung Jung plays “The Good,” Byung-hun Lee plays “The Bad,” and (no surprise here) Kang-ho Song plays “The Weird.”

Furthermore the movie was written by Jee-woon Kim (along with Min-suk Kim) and is being directed by Jee-woon Kim. Jee-won already has an impressive resume of films he has directed : “A Bittersweet Life” “A Tale Of Two Sisters” “Three” “Coming Out” “The Foul King” and “The Quiet Family.” All of those films were very good, but I would give a special mention to the “The Quiet Family.” Jee-woon made his directorial debut in the “The Quiet Family” and that film starred Kang-ho Song and Choi-Min Shik is an overlooked masterpiece. A brilliant black comedy centered around a dysfunctional family that owns a motel on a secluded part of a mountain.

The film itself is budgeted at $10 million, which is huge for a Korean film. Filming is expected to take six months in Manchuria, with shots also being taken in South Korea and America.

m0010019st4.jpg

A much more detailed plot synopsis would be :

“In the 1930s, the world is in chaos. In Northeast Asia, the Korean Peninsula has fallen into the hands of the Japanese Imperialists. Many Koreans have flocked to Manchuria, the vast terrain of horses and wilderness bordering their homeland and China. Some of them, inevitably, have turned into mounted bandits to earn their living in this barren wasteland.

UTae-gu (The Weird) is a thief. He robs a train of Japanese military officers, but the incident is not as simple as it first seems. In the middle of this fierce gun battle against the Japanese, he obtains a mysterious map that leads to a treasure from the Qing Dynasty, buried somewhere in Manchuria.

Yet, the map is also sought by Chang-yi, the cold blooded hitman (The Bad). Tae-gu must fight not only the Japanese but also Chang-yi and his fellow thugs, who happen to attack the train at the same time. At the end of this intense gunfight, a mysterious man jumps into the center of the battle from nowhere and rescues Tae-gu with astonishing gunplay. Having survived the battle, Tae-gu thanks the man for saving his life. Yet, he does not know that this stranger is Do-won, the bounty hunter (The Good), who has been chasing Tae-gu to turn him in for a reward. These three men - Do-won (The Good), Chang-yi (The Bad) and Tae-gu (The Weird) - will soon discover that the map they are battling for is also a magnet that attracts others as diverse as the Korean resistance, Chinese/Russian/Korean mountain bandits and the Japanese army. The blazing gun battle in the train proves to be merely the beginning of the rollercoaster ride to the final showdown to come. “

This looks like a must see movie for 2008. Can’t wait for this one to come out!

FIRECRACKER TIGER'S EYE ON... KIM JI-WOON

Discovering Korea’s most versatile movie stylist...

posterphoto3155.jpg

In the unofficial battle to claim the crown of Korea’s “coolest” director, perhaps the closest contenders to Oldboy’s Park Chan-wook are young pretender Ryoo Seung-wan (see Tiger’s Eye on Ryoo Seung-wan) and the chameleonic Kim Ji-woon. All three directors have made roughly the same number of features, and all three have shown themselves to be consummate cinematic stylists. Collectively their work stands as a testament to the vitality of contemporary Korean movies, and has been pivotal in the international acknowledgement of the Korean movie scene as one of the most exciting in the world. They’ve all worked with Korea’s most exportable talent Choi Min-sik, and actors such as Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun crop up in more than one of the filmmakers’ movies. It’s no coincidence that the Korean representatives in the two pan-Asian horror portmanteau movies in the “Three” series to date have been, first, Kim (Memories in 2002's Three), and more recently, Park (Cut in 2004's Three Extremes).

b2_570.jpg

Of the three however, it is Kim that can claim to be the most versatile or unpredictable. Whereas Park spent over three films (the so-called “Vengeance Trilogy” plus his segment of Three Extremes) working out variations on the classic movie theme of revenge, and Ryoo’s films largely fall into the action mould, even when they are also comedies such as kung fu CGI hokum Arahan, Kim has moved from film to film nurturing a Kubrick-like propensity to buck the trend, and to put out films standing in distinct contrast to those which preceded them. Park Chan-wook may have pulled a rabbit out of the hat with his recent sci-fi comedy romance I’m a Cyborg... But That’s OK, with mixed results but Kim has forged his career to date on genre hopping, with almost uniform success.

b3_570.jpg

Indeed, it’s hard to pick out a bum note in a filmography that encompasses kooky, spooky comedy-horror The Quiet Family (header image), on-the-nail satire of mindnumbing normality through the lense of pro-wrestling, The Foul King (left), and sophisticated horror-psychodrama A Tale of Two Sisters (above). Although it has its ardent admirers, style over substance gangster flick A Bittersweet Life represented perhaps Kim’s first wobble: wrapped up in the slickest of packages it can be easy to overlook the thinnest of plots. Still, while Hong Kong cinema can look back in satisfaction at a history of superlative gangster movies, A Bittersweet Life at least represented a vital Korean counterpoint (at least in the modern era), something nailed home by the recent Yu Ha mob movie A Dirty Carnival, superior though not without its flaws. Typically though, having got there first, Kim has now opted to break more new ground with his latest project The Good, the Bad and the Weird (below). While there are precedents for an “Oriental Western” genre, in Thai director Wisit Sasanatieng’s Tears of the Black Tiger or the knockabout “palabok” westerns of Filipino action star Lito Lapid in the late 70s, the movie certainly seems to represent a Korean first. Set in 1930s Manchuria against the backdrop of Japanese imperialist expansion from Korea into China, the movie pits three Korean exiles, the titular characters, in a search for buried treasure that takes in Russian, Chinese and Japanese rivals.

b4_570.jpg

One consistent factor that Kim’s newest film is set to share with many of his previous works is a sly sense of humour, something that ensured the success of The Foul King (and a rare case of a Korean comedy fit to travel, though its unavailability seems to argue otherwise) and witty vampire’s confession short Coming Out (2001), and something that Japanese modern master Takashi Miike presumably picked up on when adapting The Quiet Family into zombies-meets-The Sound of Music gem The Happiness of the Katakuris. While A Tale of Two Sisters didn’t require Kim’s wit, and A Bittersweet Life would have benefitted from it, The Good, the Bad and the Weird certainly seems to carry the right credentials, among them the appearance of Song Kang-ho as “The Weird”, perhaps no coincidence that it is the first time he has worked with Kim since enjoying the lead in The Foul King. A reminder that - in Kim’s case - weird is almost always good, and never ugly.

开拍首日本报记者探班剧组

“家伙”现身敦煌戈壁

作者:记者刘学智 稿件来源:

tuea280B.jpg

剧组人员“全副武装”

tuea280A.jpg

本报讯 昨日,敦煌的气温虽然高达 33℃,但韩国大片《好家伙坏家伙怪家伙》在距敦煌城西南42公里的戈壁深处如期开机。

当天早上11时许,记者早早赶到了开机现场。汽车行驶在一眼望不到边的戈壁滩上,很突兀地就出现了一个平坦的低洼地带,一个名叫“北岗木板村”的村落就出现在了记者眼前。村子宽约20多米、长约 200米,各色带有拱形的建筑在荒凉的戈壁滩上散开,一个大大的风车在村子中间高高架起。10多辆“日本鬼子”的汽车和摩托车则在村子边上停着。据了解,这个村子是剧组猪煌搭建的最大的外景,该剧的很多戏份都要在这个村子里完成。从中午12时至下午3时,经过紧张的准备工作之后,开机仪式才举行,几柱高香、导演简短的讲话、全体工作人员合影之后,剧组便不停地吆喝着干活了。

对于记者采访,剧组十分敏感,据中方的一位主任告诉记者,由于片方要求严格,拍摄的内容属于商业机密,所以请记者理解,不要深入到拍摄现场。记者看到各个路口都有专门的人员盯着,让人无法接近“北岗木板村”,只能远远地拍摄一些现场镜头。幸而记者提前在村子里转了一圈拍过了照片,要不然真会无功而返。当天,宋康昊、郑宇成也来到了现场,但被围得严严实实,让人无法准确地辨认。

  拍摄花絮

  造型奇特的木板村

  8月6日,记者在现场看到,《好家伙坏家伙怪家伙》剧组搭建的“北岗木板村”造型很是奇特,房子全用木板建成,错落有致,多有起脊;村内饭馆、当铺、风车铺等等一应俱全,一条宽敞大街横穿其中。记者发现,这个村子的建筑材料大都取材于当地,除了用木板之外还用树枝、玉米秆等物,但韩国的民族风格依然鲜明。

  水桶来当烟灰缸

  记者在采访中了解到,剧组在拍摄现场是严禁吸烟的。在开机的当天,导演和投资方的代表已将禁烟作为一条纪律多次在对讲机中声明和传达,以至于出台了一经违犯就要罚款的规定。过了不到半小时,剧组工作人员在木板村的门口放置了4个铁水桶,对讲机中再一次响起了放置垃圾和到专门地点吸烟的要求。

  马儿也冲凉

  8月的敦煌,天气炎热,连人都无法忍受,更别说马了。记者在拍摄现场看到,五六十匹马在遮阳网下圈养,不但有人给草饮水,更有专人定时给马冲凉。用高压水枪,一个一个地挨着冲洗,比侍候人都操心。

Briefly translated,

The shooting of GBW has started in Dunhuang as scheduled yesterday, after a simple prayer ceremony in the afternoon. The security there is very strict and the shooting content is not supposed to be disclosed to the public yet.

The shooing location was set up with lots of wooden structures, barrels etc. Smoking is forbidden in the movie set.

There was a glimpse of Jung Woo Sung and Song Gang Ho but no mention of LBH.

The weather is extremely hot, even the horses need to be bathed to cool them down in the heat.

I am wondering where is BH. Both the articles only mention JWS and SGH. :rolleyes:
