Thirst: First Preview
South Korea will be soon releasing their own blood sucker film, it was directed by internationally acclaimed director Park Chan-wook who is most famous for the phenomenally kickass film “Oldboy.” Here the director once again exploring various human vices in his works with the film that has been titled with “Thirst”.
In the story, there’s Sang-hyun, a beloved pastor who devotes himself to his work at a local hospital, has a secret crush on his friend's wife. When he becomes infected with the F.I.V. virus, he dies a horrible death, and comes back to life as a vampire. His newfound supernatural powers free him to pursue his repressed desires, and he finds himself in the middle of a truly dangerous liaison.
This film was originally called "The Bat" to convey a sense of horror - after all, it is about vampires. But it is also more than that. It is about passion and a love triangle. I feel that it is unique because it is not just a thriller, and not merely a horror film, but an illicit love story as well.
"Thirst" already wrapped up filming on October 9 after five months. Director Park Chan-wook's film was shot in Korea and Australia. Around the world, anticipation is high for the vampire film, and PARK himself has been quoted saying that "Thirst" might be his finest achievement.
PARK's international fame also led to "Thirst" being co-produced by Hollywood major studios Universal and Focus. Thirst's post-production will take a couple of months before the film's release in early 2009.
Thirst stars Song Kang-ho (from The Host and The Good the Bad and the Weird), Shin Ha-kyun (from Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance), and Kim Ok-bi (from Dasepo Naughty Girls) as the leading lady.
