Kim Jee-Woon's THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD | opens in theatres this Spring!!

published by ANBM on Sun, 03/28/2010 - 12:54

A brand new official trailer and one-sheet are available for THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD ( http://www.ifcfilms.com/films/the-good-the-bad-the-weird )!
In case there's anyone in the dark, this film is a ridiculously entertaining, beautifully whacky and action-packed riff on the western, with infused with epic wuxia/kung-fu action and relentless kinetic enthusiasm by Korean genre-wizard Kim Jee-Woon (A TALE OF TWO SISTERS).

It is to date the most expensive Korean film ever made, with a production budget of over $17 Million. Kang-ho Song, the star of THE HOST and THIRST will be a familiar face to audiences, and fans of TWO SISTERS' impeccable style and originality haven't seen anything yet.
