Trailer and stills for conspiracy thriller Moby Dick
by girlfriday
It’s a movie I had been waiting for… for almost a full year. I’ll probably have to wait that long till it hits us stateside, but conspiracy thriller Moby Dick has been out in theaters in Korea, and I sort of let it slip by me, with so many summer dramas on my plate. But the trailer and stills look great, and I’m officially back to being excited.
The film stars two top-notch actors, Hwang Jung-min (Accidental Couple) and Kim Min-hee (Love and Marriage) as a pair of journalists who investigate a strange explosion in 1994, that leads them to uncovering a massive conspiracy. They assemble a team along with Jin Gu (Athena) and Kim Sang-ho (Ajusshi! in City Hunter) to take on what quickly becomes a life-threatening mission to unmask the truth.
I love conspiracy thrillers, especially ones starring everyday journalists rather than cops or agents, because there’s something really frightening about the Everyman being hunted by Big Brother that truly freaks me out.
The trailer below looks pretty slick, posing the question: “Is everything you know the truth?” And then it flashes key moments in history that are shaded with doubt and conspiracy.
The tagline on the poster below: “Everything you trust has been fabricated.” I don’t know about you, but that sends chills down my spine. Conspiracy is way scarier than zombies or ghosts. Unless the zombies are organized by a giant corporation in order to hide government secrets. Then zombies win.

Since Kim Sang-ho is now my new favorite actor in the whole world (okay, behind Lee Minho, so sue me, kkk), I'm really looking forward to this. It should be pretty hang-on-to-your-seat-this-will-blow-your-mind awesome. ^_^

hahaha, how can you style a man with so very little hair. and yeah the man is everywhere, i'm pretty sure Ajusshi is the "it" man in Korea lately. so looking forward to this movie. Girlfriday, atleast we have something in common, I'm into conspiracy too, something about it that is so intriguing (but i still don't understand Julia Robert's Conspiracy theory, should rewatch it again)

Looking forward to seeing a side to Hwang Jung Min and Kim Min Hee that I haven't seen before. And yes, God Ajusshi is everywhere!

Poor Ajusshi.
Is he destined to get beat on or run over in every acting role he has?

With zombies and ghosts, you know they're suppose to be scary and expect them to be as much. Conspiracies? Sly and subtle. When the secrets start pouring in, you don't know what's suppose to happen or whose going to pop out. So I get your point.
Not much into thriller anyways - can't sleep well after. But,.... I want to know what happens! But I don't want to watch! But I do! GAH.

"I love conspiracy thrillers, especially ones starring everyday journalists rather than cops or agents, because there’s something really frightening about the Everyman being hunted by Big Brother that truly freaks me out." --- I agree! And you never know who to believe! Everyone and anyone can be part of the conspiracy!

OMG! JIN GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Not seen this sexy, smouldering bastard since he played the younger version of Lee Byeong-heon in All In. (Admit it, he was blink and you'll miss it in Dirty Carnival). But he still lingers on in my thoughts.
Sounds like a decent film, will toon in.
