South Korean cinema, though prolific in a number of genres, has been fairly bereft of science fiction films. But that's about to change soon, with a number of films already in various stages of production and the first one getting ready for release is “A Werewolf Boy” director Jo Sung-hee's newest film “Space Sweepers”.
Synopsis
Tae-ho is a pilot of Spaceship Victory, which is led by Captain. Tae-ho will do anything to make money, but he is always broke. Tiger Park and a robot are crew members of the spaceship. “Space Sweepers” is a space drama set to combine Korean actors with an international cast.
Jo Sung-hee reteams with his “A Werewolf Boy” actor Song Joong-ki once again, who plays Tae-ho. “The Handmaiden” herself Kim Tae-ri will portray Captain. This will be the first of two sci-fi projects for the actress, the other being blockbuster director Choi Dong-hoon's two-part saga “Alien”. Jin Seon-kyu, who has proved his comedy mettle in a number of films including “Extreme Job”, plays Tiger Park while Yoo Hae-jin (“Intimate Strangers”) will voice the robot crew member. “Space Sweepers” is aiming for a Summer 2020 release in South Korea, with an international release expected to follow.
