Though Murderer - the sophomore feature from Chaser director Na Hong-Jin - will certainly make its share of noise there is no doubt what the event movie of the year in Korea is. After all, can anything else really be in the running when the director of The Good The Bad And The Weird teams up with the stars of Oldboy and A Bittersweet Life? Yes, Kim Ji-Woon's dark crime thriller hits screens this summer and he's brought Lee Byung-Hyun and Choi Min-Sik along for the ride.
The film is Oldboy star Choi's first major role since returning from a self imposed exile begun in protest over changes to the Korean screen quota system and marks the duo's first time working together. Lee and Kim, however, go back now over several films and their collaborations have always been stellar. This is also the first time Lee and Choi - two of the nation's biggest and most recognizable stars - have ever appeared together.
Story? Lee plays a cop driven to take vengeance after Choi's character kills his fiance. Stylish this will certainly be with Kim at the helm but pretty? No way. Check the teaser below.

The music doesn't fill me with confidence, at least not along the same lines as what we can almost surely expect from the movie. But I guess it's one of those get yourself jazzed teasers so I can see what they were aiming for. Should be awesome.
Wow! Looks fantastic! So good to see Choi Min-Sik back on the big screen.
This'll be Korean film of the year. It's excellent to see Choi Min-Sik back in action, he is incredible.
Too good to be true. Can not wait to see this.
Wow, this looks epic. I can't wait.
