Lee Byung-hun, Park Seo-joon and Park Bo-young are all confirmed to be starring in “Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned” director Uhm Tae-hwa's new thriller film “Concrete Utopia”.
The film follows the survivors in a city that went to ruins after a massive earthquake destroyed all the concrete.
Lee Byung-hun's character Young-tak is a leader who works to protect Hwang Goong Apartment from outsiders. Park Seoo-joon will play Min-sung, a salaryman who gets chosen to assist Young-tak and becomes increasingly bold as he encounters crises. Park Bo-young has been cast as Min-sung's wife and former nurse Myung-hwa, a warm character who cares for those who are hurt in dangerous situations.
Lee Byung-hun currently seems to be on a run of disaster films, has already survived a volcanic disaster in last year's “Ashfall” and currently mid-production of aviation disaster film “Emergency Declaration” alongside Song Kang-ho and Jeon Do-yeon. Park Seo-joon's forward march from tv to silver screen continues, after his leading roles in “Midnight Runners” and “The Divine Fury“, while he is also currently shooting for “Extreme Job” director Lee Byeong-heon's football film “Dream” alongside singer/actress IU. Park Bo-young, meanwhile continues to reinvent herself following her role in the rom-com “On Your Wedding Day” and indie drama “Collective Invention”.
“Concrete Utopia” will go on the floors some point in 2021 and will be produced and distributed by Lotte Entertainment.
