A North Korean soldier found himself on the wrong side of the DMZ with his injured and dying Supreme Leader and reluctantly working with a South Korean delegate in 2017's “Steel Rain“, a film that was met with mixed reactions. This, however, did not dampen the director and actors' spirits as both lead actors Jung Woo-sung and Kwak Do-won return for a thematic sequel to the film this year with “Steel Rain 2: Summit”.
Synopsis
“Summit: Steel Rain” is a futuristic film about a crisis near the brink of war after three leaders are kidnapped by a North Korean nuclear submarine in a coup d'état during a summit between the two Koreas and the United States.
Once again, director/scriptwriter Yang Woo-seok places the action in a hypothetical diplomatic situation. However he mixes things up with the casting. Where Jung Woo-sung played the North Korean soldier in the first film, here he plays the South Korean president who gets kidnapped along with the American president and the North Korean leader. Kwak Do-won, meanwhile, moves across the border to play a North Korean soldier. Joining the two stars are Yoo Yeon-seok (“A Werewolf Boy”) and Lee Nam-Lee (“The Priests“). It hits theatres in Summer, 2020.
