Korean pic "Haunters" sold to 7 countries

Film "The Haunters" [Zip Cinema]

Current Korean box office topper "Haunters" has been sold to seven countries, according to the film's producer Zip Cinema.

Zip stated through a press release that "Haunters", which opened in theaters just last week, has been sold to Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

Final negotiations are under way for the pic to be sold to China and Japan and buyers are discussing on the rights to be sold in the United States, Zip added.

The pic starring actors Kang Dong-won and Ko Soo had been presold to several countries in Asia after its actors and story line were revealed at the Asian Film Market held concurrently with this year's Pusan International Film Festival last month.

Additional deals came after a promotional four-minute clip of the film was shown at the annual American Film Market (AFM) held in early November.

"Haunters" is about a duel between two men, one with a super natural power and the other who can resist it.

The film has been popular so far, securing the highest number of advance ticket sales in four years and attracting over one million viewers within a week of its premiere.

Popular actors Kang Dong Won (Secret Reunion) and Ko Su (White Night) face off in the supernatural action thriller Haunters. Topping Korea's box office for two consecutive weeks, Haunters is the first directorial feature from The Good, The Bad, The Weird screenwriter and assistant director Kim Min Suk, and the last film for Kang Dong Won before entering army service. The intense thriller lives up to its name by harnessing the powers of the mind into a slick, haunting, adrenaline-charged battle that gets under the skin and into the eye of evil.
Taking a rare villain role, Kang Dong Won plays the film's haunted anti-hero Cho In, a crippled man with the ability to control minds. Scarred by an abusive childhood, he lives at the edge of society, using his powers at will on those around him. One day while robbing a pawn shop, he encounters Kyu Nam (Ko Su), the first man to be able to resist his mind control. Cho In ends up killing the pawn shop owner (Byun Hee Bong), who is the closest thing Kyu Nam has to a family. Thus begins the dangerous collision of two men with nothing to lose and powers beyond imagination.
This edition comes with the Soundtrack CD and a bonus disc containing pre-production, making-of, special effects featurette, deleted scenes, outtakes, premiere, still gallery, poster shoot, and trailer.
