Director Yeon Sang-ho said at a production briefing for the Netflix film 『Gye Si-rok" held at Hotel Naru Seoul M Gallery in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 18th, `Unlike the previous film, I drew it realistically, excluding fantasy elements.'
Revelation, which will be released on the 21st, is a story about a pastor who believes that it is a divine revelation to condemn the criminal of the disappearance case and a detective in charge of a disappearance case who suffers from the illusion of his dead brother chasing their respective beliefs. Director Yeon Sang-ho, who directed the films 'Train to Busan', 'Pandae', and the drama 'Hell', took the megaphone, and director Alfonso Cuaron participated as an executive producer.
Director Yeon has built a unique world view of 'Yonibus' by presenting works of various genres. He is a story about the destruction and salvation of those who believe only in what they want to see and believe in what they want to see. Unlike the previous work, he ruled out fantasy elements and tried to show a more intimate form of psychological thriller with realistic tones and acting."
Regarding the difference from the original work of the same name, "It follows the big content of the original work, but there is a lot of difference in terms of tone. First, Sung Min-chan is a secular character in the original, but in the movie, he painted it as a normal and faithful character to make it easier for audiences to move in. In the case of Lee Yeon-hee, she was portrayed as a strong character in the original, but in the movie, I thought it would be good to show her anxiety that she might break down in her guilt. It seemed that a dramatic element would occur in the big flow of the movie only if it was a more sensitive and unknown image when it would break down", he explained.
