Korean director Na Hong-Jin (The Wailing) will make his much anticipated return with Hope, a new thriller that has Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander attached to star.
Deadline details the Plus M Entertainment project, “The largely Korean-language film will follow the residents of Hopo Port, where a mysterious discovery is made on the outskirts of the remote harbor town. Before long, the residents find themselves in a desperate fight for survival against something they have never encountered before.”
Just what is this “something they have never encountered”? We hope to find out soon.
The site also explains, “Additional casting and pre-production is underway for a shoot later this year in Korea. We understand husband and wife Fassbender and Vikander will speak English in the film and wanted to take part after being impressed by the director’s previous work.”
Hong Kyung-pyo (The Wailing, Parasite) is on board as cinematographer.
Na Hong-Jin said in a statement, “Oftentimes, a person’s goodwill can lead to unintended catastrophe simply because of differences in perspective. My hope for this film is to cinematically capture that phenomenon in a way that has yet to be seen.“
