I recently saw Oldboy and quite frankly I was blown away, it helped that I watched it on DVD and had a superb amount of relevant features to get through (my review). It’s an amazing piece of cinema.
Now hot on the heels of completing his vengeance series with Chinjeolhan geumjassi (Sympathy for Lady Vengeance), he’s now looking at taking a sci-fi romance to the big screen, from Time Out:
…entitled ‘I Am a Cyborg’…
…Set in a mental asylum, it will revolve around a young woman who believes she is a robot, and follow her blossoming romance with a male patient at the hospital.
There’s no news on casting yet, but the director also revealed that once he’s finished ‘I Am a Cyborg’, he’ll start work on an as-yet-untitled vampire movie.
I don’t know how interested I am in the sci-fi Romance, but with Park behind it I think we’re set for a visual feast. I am excited about that last statement though, a vampire movie from Park would be an amazing thing. If he applies his style and techniques we’ve seen to date and adds a story that twists around from the usual flock, I think we could see a superb tale. Any other fans of Park out there excited by these two ideas?
