Korean Spy Thriller ‘Harbin’ Picked Up for North American Release, Following Toronto Gala Debut (EXCLUSIVE)
Korean spy thriller ‘Harbin’ is picked up for North American release following its world premiere as a gala screening at the Toronto festival.
After emerging as the sole survivor of an especially bloody skirmish, Ahn Jung-geun (portrayed by Hyun Bin) heads an operation to assassinate Ito Hirobumi, the first Japanese Resident-General of Korea and a key symbol of violent colonial oppression. “In ‘Harbin’ director Woo has woven an intricate historical epic that is so beautifully, poignantly brought to life by master cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo,” said Doris Pfardrescher, president and CEO at Well Go USA. It recently committed to upcoming Philippines-set Scott Adkins film “Death March” and heartwarming Thai comedy-drama “How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies.” Previously it has handled Kore-eda Hirokazu’s “Monster,” Donnie Yen actioner “Raging Fire,” Lee Chang-dong’s “Burning” and Fan Bingbing-starring “I Am Not Madame Bovary.”
