Set in 1970s Korea, when censors could dictate the plot of a film, Cobweb<\/em> stars Song as an obsessive director who wants to re-shoot the ending of his completed film ‘Cobweb’ in two days to create a masterpiece. In the process he must contend with an uncooperative cast and crew, as well as interference from the censorship authorities.<\/p>\n

Song starred in Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite<\/em> and won Best Actor at Cannes in 2022 for his role in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Broker<\/em>. Cobweb is his fifth on-screen collaboration with Kim. <\/p>\n

Kim’s credits include gritty noir A Bittersweet Life <\/em>(2005), revenge thriller I Saw The Devil <\/em>(2010), ‘Kimchi’ western The Good, The Bad, The Weird<\/em> (2008), period spy action The Age Of Shadows<\/em> (2016) and recent AppleTV+ sci-fi thriller series Dr. Brain<\/em> (2021).<\/p>\n

“We are excited to distribute director Kim Jee-woon’s Cobweb <\/em>in North America. He is a super talent and the film, which we saw in Cannes, is fun with great performances from its all-star cast and will appeal to not only genre audiences but cinephiles,” said Samuel Goldwyn Films CEO Ben Feingold.<\/p>\n

Barunson E&A has also sold Cobweb<\/em> to Clover Films for Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, Edko Films for Hong Kong and Macau and TBA Studios for the Philippines. <\/p>\n

Produced by Anthology Studios, Cobweb<\/em> will also screen at Fantastic Fest, BFI London Film Festival and Sitges Film Festival in Spain. <\/p>\n

Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the film in the U.S. in early 2024.<\/p>\n
