Song Kang-ho and Kim Jee-woon will be joining hands for the fifth time for the upcoming project “Cobweb”. The two powerhouses have previously worked together on “The Quiet Family”, “The Foul King”, “The Good, The Bad, The Weird” and “The Age of Shadows”. This will also be the first project for Song and Kim's production company Anthology Studios.
“Cobweb” was in fact the first project signed by Song Kang-ho following “Parasite”. It is written by indie director/writer Shin Yeon-shick, who was initially attached to direct as well. However, financing difficulties meant that the project was put on hold and both the actor and Shin went on to work on “One Win” instead, which is currently in post-production. Song also finished work on Hirokazu Koreeda's “Broker” in the meantime.
Choi Jae-won, veteran producer and Song and Kim's partner on Anthology Studios, brought the script to Kim Jee-woon's attention, who saw potential in it and agreed to direct it after finishing work on the Apple TV+ series “Dr. Brain”. “Cobweb” is said to have an experimental approach. It will have a film-within-a-film concept and will be shot exclusively on sound stages.
The feature is aiming for a production start early next year. Casting will shortly be underway.
