Hollywood Filmmakers Turn Eyes to Seoul
Published on | Source
Korean-American Hollywood filmmaker Roy Lee has visited Seoul recently to shoot scenes for his new movie in the Korean capital city. Lee says he chose Seoul because its production value is higher than that of Shanghai or Tokyo and because he can produce better-quality movies for the same cost in Seoul.
Lee's movie, which is being produced by Fox Atomic, is a Seoul remake of Ridley Scott's movie "Black Rain". Lee says Fox Atomic had invested 9-14 billion won in the production and that 80 percent of the movie's scenes will be shot in Seoul.
The previous version of "Black Rain" was shot in New York and Osaka, but the new remake will feature Seoul and Los Angeles. It will be a story about a high-profile Korean criminal and an American detective who join hands to achieve their common goal. The director and several lead and supporting actors and actresses will be cast in Korea.
