Prepare to Busan Director Yeon Sang-Ho Has a New Zombie Film

Did you want Prepare to Busan and its observe up Peninsula? If sure, you’ll be happy to listen to director Yeon Sang-Ho’s cooking up one other undead film.

Based on Deadline, that film is Gunche, whose title means “‘colony’ in a organic context.” The movie is at the moment in manufacturing and can star Ji Chang-wook (Revolver), Go Soo (Parole Examiner Lee), Koo Kyo-hwan (Parasyte: The Gray), and Jun Ji-hyun (Jirisan). Distributor Showbox described the movie as “the fruits of Yeon Sang-ho’s universe, spanning from Prepare to Busan to Peninsula.” Chances are you’ll recall in 2021, Yeon stated he was very a lot as much as do a third one when he had some free time. This can be that third movie, which comes after his current movies Jung_E and Revelations and the TV reveals like Hellbound and Parasyte: The Gray.

Whether or not Gunche is the actual Prepare to Busan 3 or not, that franchise could not solely go away. An English-language adaptation of the primary movie, referred to as The Final Prepare to New York, was introduced again in 2021 and with Timo Tjahjanto on the helm. In 2022, Yeon likened it to extra of a potential reimagining than a full-on remake, and it was meant to return out in 2023, however it’s a thriller if Final Prepare will truly occur. Tjahjanto himself has been fairly busy with different tasks, and he’s lately booked The Beekeeper 2 and a follow-up to The Shadow Strays, to not point out this 12 months’s No person 2. (And apparently a remake of Under Siege?) If he’s the man to reimagine Busan, it could be a wait earlier than we truly see it.

In the meantime, Gunche is because of launch someday in 2026.
