SEOUL, Nov. 15 (Yonhap) -- Actor Lee Jung-jae’s first directing film, “Hunt,” has recently finished its 6 months of shooting, distributor Mega Box Plus M announced Monday.
The film shows NIS agents Park Pyeong-ho and Kim Jung-do encountering a heavy truth while chasing after the head of the North Korean spies sent to the South. Lee directed, produced and played the lead role for the spy-action film.
Lee plays Park Pyeong-ho assistant manager of NIS Team 1 and actor Jung Woo-sung plays Park Pyeon-ho’s rival, Kim Jung-do assistant manager of NIS Team 2. This is their long awaited collaboration after in “City of the Rising Sun” (1999) 22 years ago.
Actress Jeon Hye-jin plays Park Pyeong-ho’s assistant, actor Heo Sung-tae took the role of an agent of Kim Jung-do’s team and actress Go Youn-jung has taken part as a student who gets caught up in a huge incident.
“I sincerely thank all the staff who gave a big help thinking thoroughly over how we could possible improve the scenes. We will strive to present a great film to the audiences waiting for and looking forward to ‘Hunt,’” said director-actor Lee.
“The shooting took about 100 times, but I don’t even know how those times have passed. The production is a personally meaningful piece as well in that I and Lee are appearing in the same work after in ‘City of the Rising Sun.’ We hope for a lot of anticipation and attention,” said Jung.
