KFC CINEMA writes: "News on Park Chan-Wook's long overdue and rumored vampire project Thirst became a reality at the beginning of last year with Song Kang Ho set to star.
Since then we have been feeding you bits and pieces of news as they slowly came in. Since the beginning of last year we had a rough breakdown of the story thanks to forum member Khitcher.
We were only missing one thing, who was going to be our leading lady?
Then at the beginning of this month we found out why Park Chan-Wook was having problems casting his leading lady after all this time. Looks like Thirst could be the goth version of Lust,Caution, and our favorite korean actresses were having second thoughts about taking on this spicy role.
Everyone except
Kim Ok Bin, who we last saw in the off the wall comedy Dasepo Girl. Currently finishing up Distrubance In Her Ballroom, Kim Ok Bin will jump into the role of 30 something Tea Joo at the end of March for a 9-month shoot.
So, what is Thirst actually about? Here is a breakdown.
The story finds Korea's leading man, Song Kang-ho, as a much-loved priest who becomes a vampire after a failed medical experiment; he becomes a tortured and depraved soul. Title refers to a craving for sex, blood and love. CJ is pitching the pic as a love story with horror and drama.
I know many of us were hoping for a release sometime this year but with a nine month shooting schedule don't expect to see this until sometime in 2009."
