Kim Yoon-seok and Song Joong-ki get called out to sea
by girlfriday
Hm, I wouldn’t mind being lost at sea with these two. Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, The Host) is producing a new movie called Sea Fog, and he’s scored the fabulous Kim Yoon-seok (Thieves, Wandeuki) to star. That man is just great in everything. Song Joong-ki (Nice Guy, A Werewolf Boy) is being tapped to join him, but that casting’s not confirmed and he’s got a lot of floating offers for movies right now, so we’ll have to wait and see on that front.
Sea Fog will be be the directorial debut of Shim Sung-bo, the screenwriter of Bong Joon-ho’s 2003 film Memories of Murder. It’s an adaptation of a stage play of the same name, and tells the tale of a crew on a fishing boat that’s fallen onto hard times, and begins to smuggle Joseon-jok (Koreans living in China) illegally across the border.
Ooh that sounds great, mostly because it’s bringing up Hwanghae/Yellow Sea associations for me (which Kim Yoon-seok also starred in). The play was also a benchmark production of the theater group where Kim Yoon-seok got his start as an actor, so there are lots of personal links to the source material.
He’ll play the captain of the commercially failing boat who decides to do the dangerous thing when he faces ruin, and puts his whole crew in jeopardy by choosing to become a smuggling vessel. The story will also tell the various tales of his crew members’ lives, and will explore both the despair and the hope of life at sea.
Sea Fog starts shooting in September.

Kim Yoon Seok is a very good actor. I loved him in Resurrection when he was Uhm Tae Woong's "guardian angel". He was a very nice guy.

I am curious to what Songs role in this movie would be? I love Song but I just can't seem to see him fit in on a fishing crew.

Bong Joon-ho also directed Won Bin's mother correct? Since he's producing it we can expect great things right? Ahh I can't wait.

I love Kim Yoon-suk in anything. I would love to see this. If Song Joong-ki is confirmed, than that will be very interesting as well.

This sounds interesting, Song Joong-ki's made some pretty great choices for projects over the last couple of years so I trust that this will be good too (also, Kim Yoon-seok! Loved him in Resurrection)

Also, I just saw the trailer for Snowpiercer and it does look fantastic. Anyone who's getting it playing near where they live should definitely go watch!

I really really really hope Song Joong Ki takes this offer. It is not often that you get to work under Bong Joon Ho especially alongside Kim Yoon Seok. The story sounds very insteresting and I will definitely be on the lookout for it.

I would love to see SJK paired up with KYS in a movie. I hope he picks this project.

I had hoped to Song Joong Ki in a comedy/romantic drama or movie. I'm not getting good vibes hearing he will be apart of a seaman's crew. However, SJK is very meticulous when it comes to carefully considering projects... I'll just wait and trust the choice(s) he makes for his future.
