Director Na Hong-jin's new film, HOPE, has unveiled images of its main characters captured through the viewfinder of cinematographer Hong Kyung-pyo.
The three behind-the-scenes character posters released this time are special designs featuring photographs taken directly by Hong Kyung-pyo. The images, which show Hwang Jung-min, who plays Beom-seok, and Jung Hoyeon, who plays Seong-ae, focused on the set, capture the intense presence of the actors as they immerse themselves in their characters.
The poster featuring Zo In-sung, who plays Seong-gi, leaning against a truck with a group of young men against the backdrop of a dense forest, raises expectations for the film with the unique look and color palette of HOPE. In particular, the behind-the-scenes character posters for HOPE stand out for their free and original style, including the bold use of black-and-white photography and title designs that vary for each character.
The three character posters released alongside them capture the urgent moments of the three individuals trying to protect Hopohang. Through these character posters, viewers can see Beom-seok, the police substation chief trying to protect the villagers from an entity that has appeared in town; Seong-ae, a police officer aiming her gun at those who have crossed the line; and Seong-gi, a young man heading into the mountains to chase the monster that attacked the village.
Unlike conventional movie posters, the six character posters, completed through the bold use of behind-the-scenes cuts and character shots from the filming set, offer audiences a new kind of pleasure in imagining scenes from the movie and feeling the atmosphere of the set.
HOPE is a story that begins when Beom-seok, the chief of a police substation located in the Demilitarized Zone, hears news from local youths that a tiger has appeared, leading to an emergency across the entire village as they encounter an unbelievable reality. The film is set to be released on July 15.
