Bong Joon Ho’s Next Movie Will Mix Action and Horror – Bloody Disgusting

South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon Ho became a household name among horror fans in 2006 when Magnolia Pictures released his action-horror The Host, in which a monster emerges from the river and begins attacking people.

The filmmaker has always mixed genres, from his dramatic thriller Mother to his sci-fi actioner Snowpiercer, and even his dramatic Spielbergian Okja, which blends action, adventure and drama. However, one thing they all have in common is a heavy dose of social commentary, which continues in his award winning Parasite, now in theaters.

While details are slim, Joon Ho tells Variety that his next will return to his roots, once again blending action and horror.

Actually, I am preparing two different projects, he tells the site. One is a Korean-language one, and the other one is an English-language one. Both projects are not big films. Theyre the size of Parasiteor Mother.

The Korean film is located in Seoul and has unique elements of horror and action. Its difficult to define the genre of my films.

The English project is a drama film based on a true event that happened in 2016. Of course, I wont know until I finish the script, but it has to be set half in the U.K. and half in the U.S.

Bong Joon Hos Parasite is easily one of the best films of the year and follows a family who just wants a taste of the good life, only to have it go horribly wrong. Bloody Disgustings own Serena Fischer attended the premiere andwrote about howParasitegets under your skin.This film will stick with you long after the end credits roll and remain under your skin, much like its title implies, she wrote in her review for us. Its currently in theaters everywhere and heavily included in early awards buzz.
