Thirst: Chan-wook Park’s Vampire Curveball
20 October 2009 7:22 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Chan-wook Park's draw to the horror genre has always been apparent. The dark brutal subject matter of his films, revolving around revenge, mystery, the unattainable and ultimately themes of regret, redemption and water (which signifies trouble and death in all of Park's Films) could almost be part Alfred Hitchcock, part Roman Polanski and part Sam Fuller. The beautifully lit and gorgeous locked off compositions apparent in his Vengeance trilogy especially, often evokes Kubrick and his humour, which always bubbles under the surface, a kind of playfulness with gore, is perhaps reserved only for the Sam Rami's or George Romero's of the world. Cut, his short film (along with Fruit Chan's Dumplings and Taekashi Miike's Box) which made up one third of Three... Extremes could be seen as his most horrorfied (yes its a word...) film to date. A kind of Saw like situation where a kidnapper cuts »

Chan-wook Park to remake Le Couperet (The Ax)
13 October 2009 1:37 PM, PDT | Affenheimtheater | See recent Affenheimtheater news »
Variety reports that Mr. Vengeance, Korean director Chan-wook Park will remake the dark French comedy thriller Le Couperet (The Ax). Costa-Gavras, director of the 2005 original said he’s glad that Park wants to remake his film and that he will support him as much as possible. Le Couperet tells the story of a chemist (played by José Garcia in the original version) who gets fired after a merging operation of his company. After several years of unemployment, the loss of his middle-class standards for his family and his self-esteem, he decides to improve his chances on the job market by killing of his competitors. Sounds like perfect material for somebody like Chan-wook Park, don’t you think? »

Duncan Jones’ Moon Lands at Sitges and Nabs 3 Awards Before Heading Back to the Stars. Plus Other Winners
12 October 2009 2:49 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Did you happen to see Duncan Jones’ quiet little sci-fi picture “Moon” when it played in limited release over the summer? Did you love it? Did you hope it won some awards when you walked out (little gold men even)? Well, it still might. However, it did receive handsome kudos from the Sitges Film Festival taking home the prizes for film, best actor for Sam Rockwell, and the screenplay award for Nathan Parker. More of the “Moon” accomplishments after the jump, one of which is the conclusive evidence that there is no cheese on its surface.
Duncan Jones’ film tells the story of Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell), and American astronaut that is nearing the end of his contracted three-year stint on the moon as a miner of a gas called Helium-3, which has become Earth’s primary source of energy. Bell maintains and operates each facility and machinery on the moon, »

Thirst Spills the Blood on DVD November 17th
15 September 2009 12:27 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
You can bring home the latest from acclaimed filmmaker Chan-wook Park on DVD this November. Thirst will be released on DVD on November 17. The DVD will be priced at $29.98 Srp, and you can take a look at the cover art below. No special features were listed at this time, but we'll update you if any features are added to this release. The film stars Song Kang-ho, Shin Ha-kyun and Kim Ok-bi.
From the acclaimed director of the global hit Oldboy comes a shockingly original vampire story with a chilling, erotic style. A blood transfusion saves the life of a priest, but also transforms him into a vampire. He struggles to control his insatiable thirst for blood until a love affair unleashes his darkest desires in deadly new ways. Hailed as "Daring, operatic, and bloody funny!" (Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly), Thirst is a truly wicked love story that takes classic vampire lore to twisted new heights. »
