Actor Jung Woo-sung [Taurus Films]
Korean actor Jung Woo-sung's international debut film "Reign of Assassins" has been confirmed to open in Korea, according to the film's distributor Sungwon I Communications on Wednesday.
Sungwon announced in a press release that the action flick, which stars the Korean actor and Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Memoirs of a Geisha", will be released in Korea in August.
In the martial arts blockbuster, Jung plays an ordinary postman with extraordinary martial arts skills while Yeoh portrays a top-notch female assassin. The two team up to fight and obtain the 800-year-old ashes of Dalma.
"Assassins" was directed by Taiwanese filmmaker Chao-Bin Su and produced by world-renowned director John Woo of "Mission: Impossible II" and "Face/Off," as well as his long-time movie-making partner Terence Chang.
Jung, 36, has starred in numerous Korean films including 1997 hit flick "Beat" with Korean actress Ko So-young and the critically acclaimed "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" alongside Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun.
Jung made his first English-speaking feature film appearance through "Season of Good Rain" last year, which was directed by South Korean filmmaker Heo Jin-ho and co-starred Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan.
