Jul 08, 2024

The late Lee Sun-kyun's vacancy is full.

A disaster movie about a series of crashes in thick fog and people struggling to survive out-of-control military experimental dogs released on the airport bridge on the verge of collapse 'Escape: PRODUCT SILENCE' (hereinafter 'Escape', directed by Kim Tae-gon, produced by Vlad Studio). It was unveiled for the first time in Korea at the press and distribution premiere of 'escape' held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 8th. Joo Ji-hoon as Lekka Kiisa Jo Park, who is aiming for a shot in life, Kim Hee-won as Dr. Yang, head researcher of Project Silence, Park Hee-bon as older sister Miran, manager of younger brother Yu-ra (Park Joo-hyun), Kim Soo-an as Kyung-min, the adolescent daughter of Jung-won (Lee Sun-kyun), and Kim Tae-gon attended the premiere.

'Escape' is a movie about a series of extreme disasters that unfold as everyday spaces turn into nightmare scenes and friendly beings turn into threats. It was invited to the 76th Cannes International Film Festival Midnight Screening section last year, released worldwide, and visited the audience with the first movie of this summer's theater tentpole in a year.

In particular, 'Escape' was the posthumous work of the late Lee Sun-kyun, which caused the audience to be disappointed. Earlier, Lee Sun-kyun died on December 27 of that year while under police investigation after being booked on charges of marijuana enjoyment under the Narcotics Control Act in October last year. After encountering the worst disaster in history in 'escape', Lee Sun-kyun played the role of Jung Won, the administrator of the security office, who is gradually changing in extreme circumstances. With Kim Soo-an, who worked as a father and daughter in the movie, he led the center of the play and showed his presence. In addition, he led the fun of 'escape' by playing a team play with his rival and best friend with Rekka engineer Joo Ji-hoon and eccentric scientist Kim Hee-won, who worked with Lee Sun-kyun.

On this day, director Kim Tae-gon said "It's a disaster for the theater. "It's a work that you can feel more in theaters than in OTT." "When I look back on my favorite kind of movies, I think about what changes occur when cinematic and strange factors work in everyday spaces and make viewers' hearts pound." 'Escape' also wondered what unintended factors caused the fear when we always went to the airport. I thought it would be a story that the audience could enjoy more if I drew stories of various human groups," he said of his intention to direct.

It was released a year after the Cannes Film Festival, and he had the opportunity to screen it at the Cannes Film Festival, which is the dream stage of every director. After the screening of the Cannes Film Festival, it seemed that if you look at it a little more, you will get a satisfactory result. That's how I got to open it now."

As for the reason for choosing 'escape', Joo Ji-hoon said "When looking at the scenario, the rapid development was impressive. In addition, attention was paid to the creation of a plausible disaster in everyday places. In addition, the character I played showed functionality in this work. I chose the work because I thought it would be fun to act."

Kim Hee-won then said "It was fresh and unique. It was a story that was bound to happen. I liked it because it started with me"I shuddered.

In addition, Park Hee-bon "There are many scenes where many characters do their best. I was wondering what it would be like to put all my energy into actingKim Soo-an said "The scenario was so fun that I lost track of time. The character's brave appearance led me to do so,' he added.

Joo Ji-hoon, who was willing to behave badly, said "I think most of them are broken, but that was not the concept for me. As a movie lover, I think I enjoyed the charm of the character well since I was young. If you think it's helpful for the movie, you don't seem to hesitate. Thankfully, directors in various media are writing about me in various ways" added meaning.

Kim Soo-an, who shot a full level of experience in a disaster movie with "Train to Busan" (16, directed by Yeon Sang-ho), makes me grow, including "Train to Busan". "'Train to Busan' Kim Soo-an would have grown up while filming 'Escape'. I think I will be able to grow in the future. I met 'escape' in my adolescence. My adolescence was a cringe. I think there was a bit of that at the scene as well. I gained a lot of strength by experiencing the character's brave appearance indirectly. I got a lot of help from the character"I laughed.

He also expressed his regret for the late Lee Sun-kyun. Coach Kim Tae-gon said, `I wish Lee Sun-kyun would be here. From the time of preparing the movie and in the field, I needed an understanding of all the devices and spaces, but Sun-kyun discussed what I missed. I think we asked questions and answers to each other every time and found the overall answer to the movie." 'Escape' paid tribute to the deceased by adding a message in memory of Lee Sun-kyun to the movie's ending credit.

Kim Soo-an, who worked with Lee Sun-kyun as a father and daughter, said, `I received a lot of help from Lee Sun-kyun. The character I played was very sharp and free-spirited, but he actually helped me to act freely. Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy myself on the spot"I thought deeply.

The late Lee Sun-kyun, Joo Ji-hoon, Kim Hee-won, Moon Sung-geun, Seo Jae-jung, Kim Tae-woo, Park Hee-bon, Park Joo-hyun, and Kim Soo-an appeared in 'Escape', and director Kim Tae-gon of 'Goodbye Single' took the megaphone. It will be released on the 12th.
