South Korea’s Redice Entertainment, creator of hit webtoon “Solo Leveling,” has entered into the international film sales business, launching a slate at the upcoming European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin.
The company will bring new titles Sister and Killing Time to the market, which are both currently in post-production.
Sister is a crime thriller directed by Jin Sung-moon and stars Jung Zi-so (Parasite, The Glory), Lee Soo-hyuk (Pipeline) and Cha Joo-young (The Glory). The film follows the unexpected relationships that develop between one hostage and two kidnappers.
Horror-thriller film Killing Time stars Ryu Hye-young (Gangnam B-Side) and Nam Yun-su (Extracurricular) and is directed by Jang Jun-yeop (After Spring). The film follows a YouTube crew named “Killing Time” who loses a team member in an unexpected accident during a live broadcast. They plan a comeback by producing more sensational content, but just as success seems within reach, mysterious individuals start to appear.
Watch on Deadline
Redice Entertainment previously invested in Thai horror film The Cursed Land (produced by Neramitnung Film), which had its world premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival (IFFR) last year, signalling the Korean firm’s ambitions to expand its activities outside its domestic market. Sealing the deal, Redice Entertainment CEO Woogy Han and Neramitnung Film CEO Kanogwan Watchara signed an investment agreement in Bangkok last year, which also marked the first major outside investment in a Neramitnung Film production, which had previously fully financed its own titles.
At the EFM, Redice Entertainment will also bring previously-announced films in post-production like Samakdo, Veranda, The Go To Restaurant and The Bus.
Horror-thriller Samakdo stars Cho Yun-seo, Kwak Si-yang and Yang Ju-ho, while thriller-drama Veranda stars Jeon So-min, Ji Seung-hyun and Ha Su-ho.
