LEE Chang-dong production to premiere at Cannes

"A Brand New Life" – a film produced by Korea's leading director Lee Chang-dong – will be unveiled at this year's Festival de Cannes. "A Brand New Life" is the first Korean-French co-produced film.

The project originated in Korea before French debuting director Ounie Lecomte was appointed as the helmer. Korea's NOW FILMS Co., Ltd. joint hands with French Gloria Film production company.

Go Ah-sung (the girl captured by the monster in "The Host") plays the lead role as one of the older children at a nursery in a story about adoption.

After its exhibition at Cannes, "A Brand New Life" is tentatively scheduled for a release in May.
