Ma Dong-seok met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 24th and said, `I was close to Byun Woo-seok from the beginning,' and `I worked with him in the movie 'Baekdusan' before.'
Released on the 30th, 'Holy Night: Demon Hunters' (hereinafter 'Holy Night') is an occult action in which Tim Bau, Sharon, and Kim, the dark solvers with special abilities, are thrown into confusion by a group of evil worshippers, and is the director's debut feature-length production. Ma Dong-seok played the role of Ba, who hunts demons with rock-like power and fists.
As a producer, Ma talked about what he considers important when casting actors. He said, `Doesn't production companies usually cast actors by looking at their images. I try not to do that as much as I can. I'm trying to find a new feeling that actors can show. In order not to look old, I also listen to a lot of young people's opinions. Even at the meeting, I would like to attend with a scriptor in his 20s and a PD in his 30s and listen to the opinions of several people. In particular, casting is not just my power, but the efforts of the staff around me are great. Isn't it possible to predict what people think about the movie 'Ma Dong-seok'. The more I do that, the more I think I should match my surroundings differently," he said.
