Most Anticipated Korean Films of 2015

Cast: Choi Min-sik (Oldboy, 2003)
Production:
Distribution: Next Entertainment World (NEW)
Filming Dates2014-12-15 ~
Status: Filming
Genre: Drama
Plot: During the Japanese Occupation of Korea in the early 20th century, a hunter is enlisted to hunt down the last remaining tiger on the peninsula.

Choi Min-sik had a huge year in 2014 so whatever he stars in next is bound to draw a lot of attention but frankly I wasn't keen on his performance in Roaring Currents so I'm eager to see what he does with what looks to be a more challenging role and the right fit for the thespian. Director Park Hoon-jeong also proved himself very adept with New World (2013) so I have high hopes for what he might come up with this time.
