The Thieves

Directed by Dong-Hoon Choi

South Korea, 2012

Philadelphia Film Festival

The second-highest grossing film in South Korean film history, Dong-Hoon Choi’s The Thieves is a fast-paced heist film in the recent American ensemble tradition of Ocean’s 11.

A group of Korean thieves led by Popeye (Jung-Jae Lee) are brought alongside a group of Chinese thieves with Chen (Simon Yam) at their helm to steal the famous “Tear of the Sun” diamond. Macau Park (Yun-seok Kim) is the mastermind behind it all, but he, Popeye, and Pepsi (Hye-su Kim), recently released from prison, have a history that will be sorted out.

The Thieves has a huge cast and nearly each individual crook receives his or her own share of screentime. Yenicall (Gianna Jun), Chewingum (Hae-suk Kim), and Zampano (Soo Hyun Kim) round out Popeye’s gang, playing the beautiful acrobat, the seasoned impersonator, and the handy technician respectively.

Take a look at the one-sheet and footage from the highest-grossing Korean movie of all time.

The Thieves - Trailer

It's the score of their lives - if they can pull it off. Five thieves at the top of their game, and the crew is assembling for their biggest job yet. Popie (Jung-Jae Lee) is the muscle and brains; Pepsee (Hye-su Kim) is the safecracker. Yenicall (Gianna Jun) climbs walls, Zampano (Soo Hyun Kim) is the strategy man, and Chewingum (Hae-suk Kim) is the master of disguise.

But this new score - it's hot. Maybe too hot. »

Samuel L. Jackson Joins Oldboy

19 August 2012 11:15 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast of director Spike Lee's upcoming remake Oldboy. The actor will play a small but critical role of a man who is tortured by Josh Brolin's character. The scene is considered one of the most disturbing elements of the original Oldboy from director Chan-wook Park, where Dal-su Oh takes out the teeth of his former captor, by using the end of a hammer. It is said that the remake will not feature the same kind of torture, although it will be just as gruesome. Elizabeth Olsen and Sharlto Copley also star.

Spike Lee is directing from a screenplay by Mark Protosevich. Musician Bruce Hornsby has also signed on to compose the score. He also provided the score for Spike Lee's last movie, Red Hook Summer.

Production will begin later this fall in Louisiana and New York.

Oldboy comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Josh Brolin, »

Korean thriller The Traffickers gets a trailer

25 July 2012 7:55 AM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »

Sometimes all it takes is a trailer to make you look forward to a film and Kim Hong-Sun's feature debut The Traffickers (formerly known as Conspirators) just hit our radar in a big way. Having a cast that includes Oh Dal-soo (you'll recognize him from pretty much all of Chan-wook Park's films) and Jo Yoon-Hee (Tae Guk Gi) is enough to catch our attention, but after seeing the new trailer... yep, we're ready to see this. Now. »

Here's one you're going to want to put on your radar! Due out in Korea this summer is The Thieves, a Choi Dong-hoon film with a seriously impressive cast list.
