Producer and Friend of PARK Chan-wook Dispells Rumors
Syd LIM, the CEO of Yong Film, who has worked with
PARK Chan-wook as a producer for 10 years, made an official announcement about PARK’s next film. LIM said, “Several press companies reported on December 17th that PARK’s next film would be
Agassi, which created a flood of inquiries.” He then added, “I would like to correct that misreport by explaining the truth.”
According to LIM, PARK plans to make a film early next year and is looking through various items and original stories to take into consideration. In the official press release, he said, “A few press companies have reported that Agassi will be the next film PARK is working on and it is definitely one of many projects we have considered as a possible candidate.”
But he denied the rumor by saying, “However it is just one of the stories being considered, so no specific decisions have been made yet.” It is simply a possibility in an early stage, nothing has been decided. LIM then said, “We are waiting for PARK’s Hollywood debut film Stoker to be released in early 2013, so please show your interest and affection to that film for now.”
Earlier, a few press companies reported that “PARK is going to cinematize a historical thriller about lesbians”. According to the reports saying “PARK has recently been working on a new project Agassi”, the film is based on the novel ‘Fingersmith’ written by Sarah WATERS
