Korean Ace Ryoo Seung-wan to Shoot ‘HUMINT’ Espionage Action Movie


Korea's Ryoo Seung-wan has set ‘HUMINT’ a new style of espionage action movie as his next directorial effort.

It is pitched as “depicting North and South Korean secret agents clashing while [also] uncovering crimes occurring at the border with Vladivostok, Russia.” Currently titled, “ HUMINT,” a reference to espionage industry’s shorthand for collection of intelligence through humans, rather than signals or data, the new film is to be produced by his Filmmaker R&K company and distributed by NEW. Said to be influenced by films of Park Chan-wook, Ryoo has credits that include “Crying Fist,” “The Berlin File,” “The Battleship Island” and 2023 hit “Smugglers.”
