Na Hong-Kon's highly anticipated new thriller feature film “Hope” adds two more cast members: Uhm Tae-goo (from “Night in Paradise”) and Lee Kyu-hyung (from “Seoul Vibe”).
The two join an already star-studded cast-list that is headlined by superstars Hwang Jung-min, Jo In-sung and, in her first Korean feature film role since the unprecedented success of “Squid Game”, Jung Ho-yeon. The production will also Hollywood's real-life couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander in important, English-speaking roles.
Just like Hwang Jung-min, who worked with Na in “The Wailing”, Uhm Tae-goo too will be working with the director again after having recently joined hands with him on his short film “Faith”.
Na Hong-jin, through his production company “Forged Films”, will produce the film alongside Saemi Kim. Ku Tae-jin and Cheon Ji-in will co-produce, whereas Kim Deok-geun and Kim Do-soo will be the executive producers.
The production also confirmed that Na has chosen Lee Sung-hyun (“Deliver Us from Evil”) and Alan Tyler (“Ox-Head Village”) to compose the score of “Hope”. Lee Sung-hyun, better known as “Mowg”, should be credited by his stage name and Alan Tyler as “Alan Simoni”.
