Kim Ki-duk won his second major directing award of the year for his film, 3 Iron, in Korea under the title Empty House. Kim Ki-duk had already won the best director award, the Silver Bear, at the Berlin Film Festival for another film Samaria.
It's rare that a director wins two of the major directing awards in one year. And for two different films too. He must be doing something right.
Reports are also out that the rights for 3 Iron have been sold to over 20 disutributors, including Sony Pictures, for US1$ million.
