Invited to the special presentation section of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, 'Face', which is set to be screened at the world premiere on the 9th in Toronto, is a pre-sale in 157 countries around the world, raising expectations for global box office success.
'Train to Busan'?While the fact that it is a new film by director Yeon Sang-ho, who has a global box office record beyond Korea, has stimulated the interest of overseas sales companies, 'Face' is scheduled to begin its global release sequentially, starting with its domestic release on the 11th.
North American countries such as the United States and Canada, as well as South American countries, European countries such as France and Russia, and Asian countries such as Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Hong Kong are expected to fall into the mystery of face.
In particular, Doris Pfardrescher, the head of Well Go, who distributed Yeon Sang-ho's previous works in North America, 'Train to Busan'Ban Peninsula', said "I have been a fan of Yeon Sang-ho's work for a long time and have had the honor of introducing his previous works to North American audiences. 'Face' is the work of Yeon Sang-ho, who returned to the theater after 'Pandae', and through a bold vision across genres, it reminds us that he is one of the most interesting film directors now. Once again, I am very happy to join hands with director Yeon Sang-ho to present "Face" to fans across the U.S. and Canada, which gives us an idea of global expectations for the movie.
'Face' is a story about a blind man who becomes a craftsman in all fields, his son, and his wife and mother who have been buried for 40 years. Park Jung-min, Kwon Hae-hyo, Shin Hyun-bin, Lim Sung-jae, and Han Ji-hyun appeared, and Yeon Sang-ho, director of 'Train to Busan'Ban Peninsula', took the megaphone. It will be released on the 11th.
