I’ve got an awesome trailer here for you to watch for a Korean space survival thriller titled The Moon. This looks like a great movie that is going to take audiences on a crazy ride! The film looks like a mix of Apollo 13 and The Martian but with its own highly intense action-packed flair.
The movie is set in 2030 and in the story, “when the manned lunar exploration project has progressed considerably. Astronaut Hwang Seon-woo, ends up stranded on the Moon alone in space beyond 384,000 km due to an accident on the lunar surface, and Kim Jae-guk , the former head of the space center must desperately try to save him. On the other hand, Moon Young, general director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration space station, has a hidden secret.”
The movie was written and directed by Korean filmmaker Kim Yong-hwa, creator of the LittleBigPlanet video game, and director of Oh! Brothers, 200 Pounds Beauty, Take Off, Mr. Go, and Along With the Gods: The Two Worlds & The Last 49 Days. The film stars Do Kyung-soo, Sul Kyung-gu, Kim Hee-ae, Jo Han-chul, and Park Byung Eun.
The Moon will open in Korean theaters on August 2nd, 2023. There’s no on when we’ll get to watch it in the US.
