The star-studded Netflix film “War and Revolt” confirmed its cast, the first project between award-winning auteur Park Chan-wook and the global contents streaming platform.
According to Netflix Korea, this periodic film will star Gang Dong-won, who will play the servant Cheon-young of Jong-ryeo (Park Jung-min). Later, Cheon-young becomes a military officer of the Joseon-era King Seonjo (Cha Seung-won) and encounters Jong-ryeo again.
The film will portray the friendship between Jong-ryeo and Cheon-young, which transcends their social positions.
Actor Kim Shin-rok of the 2021 Netflix series “Hellbound” will appear as a loyal soldier, Beom-dong, who is led by the aristocrat-turned-army leader Kim Ja-ryoung (Jin Seon-kyu). Hero Jung Sung-il from the 2022 Netflix series “The Glory” plays a Japanese soldier, Kenshin, who notices Cheon-young’s exceptional swordsmanship skills.
“War and Revolt” will be helmed by 2010 mystery thriller ‘Midnight FM’ director Kim Sang-man and produced by Moho Film, a film production company led by director Park Chan-wook.
Park has participated in writing the film scenario and will take part in the production as well, Netflix Korea said.
The production and release dates are unconfirmed.
