Director James Hawes encouraged theater viewing of the movie Amateur.

Director James Hawes said at a video press conference for the movie `Amateur' on the 9th, `Our movie is made to be shared.' `I really want you to watch it in theaters"

The film 'Amateur', released on the same day, is an intelligent spy thriller in which CIA cryptographer Charlie Heller, with no field experience, confronts a huge terrorist group with his own excellent brain and skills to avenge his murdered wife, with director James Howes taking the megaphone.




When asked about the highlights of his work, Rami Malek said, `Normally, children follow the martial arts or action scenes that appeared in his work after watching an action movie. But our movie is different. It reminds us of the meaning of courage, persistence, and language regardless of age. In that sense, I hope it will be an opportunity for the audience to find their inner strength. Of course, as the director mentioned, there are enough entertainment and touching elements, but I personally hope it will be an opportunity to find strength and belief," he replied.

Finally, he also asked Korean audiences to pay attention and expectations for the work. Rami Malek said, `It's even more emotional to say that Korean audiences are the first ones in the world to watch our movie. 'Amateur' is a movie made with great pride. In the West, various interpretations are made to keep up with the brilliance of Korean movies. I think it would be a great honor if our movie was adapted in Korea later on"I hope many people watch it through the big screen."," he said.

Director James Hawes also said, `I hope the audience will enjoy the movie because it is a movie that we made with passion. Also 'Amateur' is a movie made to be shared. It's a movie made to be played in theaters, so I hope you watch it in theaters," he said of the wind.
