Director Kim Tae-gon shared his thoughts on the morning of the 10th with Lee Sun-kyun as Jung Won, the administrator of the security office who was trapped in the airport bridge just before the collapse, Joo Ji-hoon as a Lekka driver Jo Park, and Kim Hee-won as Dr. Yang, a senior researcher at Project Silence.
In particular, head coach Kim Tae-gon recalled special memories of the late Lee Sun-kyun. He said "Lee Sun-kyun was an actor I knew even before I made my directorial debut. At the time of 'Goodbye Single', the production company was Sunkyun's agency. At that time, Lee Jung-eun, CEO of Walnut & U Entertainment, met Sun-kyun frequently while producing Goodbye Single, and he developed a favorable impression of humans. When it comes to disaster movies, aren't there actors who have usually done it? But Sun-kyun has been doing a lot of genres as well as movies directed by Hong Sang-soo. Nevertheless, he didn't do a disaster. When I first suggested it to Sunkyun, 'Am I?' He was surprised. As you can see from the movie, Sun-kyun took the center stage well even though it was his first disaster. Sun-kyun's role in leading the entire blockbuster was burdensome, but he did it so brilliantly."
Then "Lee Sun-kyun is a very difficult actor. What it means is that there is no way to just skip one thing. Our movie deals with what happens on the bridge, and the movements of the characters as well as the gods were all different. I had to have a good understanding of this work. So I discussed and explained everything with Sunkyun. In addition, Sun-kyun gave me an idea when there was a shortfall I missed. If all of these things were agreed upon, I worked very hard on filming. There were also dangerous scenes during filming, and usually actors can be afraid or think negatively when danger is detected, but Sun-kyun didn't have that point. 'It's so nice' 'Let's hurry up and shoot ' The risk-taking point for the movie was wonderful."
'Escape' is a story of people struggling to survive out-of-control military experimental dogs released on the airport bridge on the verge of collapse after a series of crashes in thick fog. The late Lee Sun-kyun, Joo Ji-hoon, Kim Hee-won, Moon Sung-geun, Jesus Jung, Kim Tae-woo, Park Hee-bon, Park Joo-hyun, and Kim Soo-an appeared, and director Kim Tae-gon of 'Goodbye Single' took the megaphone. It will be released on the 12th.
