Director Cho Young-joon said at the press and distribution premiere of the movie 『Killer Report』 held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 28th that `When I first planned the movie, everyone said it was crazy.'
Released on Sept. 5, 「Killer Report" is a story about psychiatrist Younghoon asking veteran reporter Sun-joo, who is thirsty for a scoop, for an interview in which he confesses to serial murder, and director Cho Young-joon of"Chabbi" and"Song of the Sun" took the megaphone.
The 'Killer Report' was a unique cinematic concept of interviewing a serial killer. Director Cho said "When I first talked to people around me after planning the scenario, everyone said they were crazy. I've heard a lot about who will invest in it and what kind of actor will appear. But I thought I could do it," he said.
Then, about the intention of directing the work "Isn't there such a saying since a long time ago. I really only beat one guy. Rather, I thought that if I locked up the actors and extracted what I could do as much as possible, I could conceive a form of a story that I had not seen before"Of course, the lack of movement of space and the absence of various characters may also serve as a weakness, but on the contrary, it seems that I was able to concentrate and concentrate on only one thing. Rather than leaning on the visual stimuli shown in existing thrillers or suspense films, I thought the play would become richer as it was filled with the dilemma of the two characters", he explained.
