Swedish Festival Selects CJ’s Disaster Flick
CJ Entertainment’s disaster film
The Tower was part of the first wave of announcements for the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival, which takes place in Sweden every year.
The Tower is a big-budget Korean film about a blaze that grips a skyscraper in the central Yeoido district of Seoul. Various characters throughout the giant building must fight their way out alive with the help of a few brave firemen. The film was directed by KIM Ji-hoon, who previously helmed such big-budget films as the May 18 (2007) and Sector 7 (2011), and stars SEOL Kyung-gu, SON Ye-jin, KIM Sang-kyung, KIM In-kwon and AHN Sung-ki.
This year’s Lund International Fantastic Film Festival will be staged over September 29th to October 5th. The festival’s artistic director, Christian Hallman, recently visited Korea when he was invited as a jury member for the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival (PiFan), which was held in July.
