For years now we’ve been waiting on a follow-up to Korean helmer Bong Joon-Ho’s excellent creature feature ‘The Host’ (AKA ‘Gwoemul’). Sadly the director isn’t back for ‘The Host 2’ but at least today we can check the first look footage from the new sequel. The new clip features the ‘new’ creature climbing out of his watery home to wreak havoc on passing motorists. The beast hitches a ride on a passing motorhome occupied by an unfortunate Korean family. The effects are non too shabby and the clip does feature some overly exposed shots of the creature in action. It also features a strikingly similar shot as first seen in the original as the two children run for safety. The new clip concludes with before and after shots of the whole sequence. Check it out below.
Chungeorahm Films are confirming that the project is being prepped as a 3D project. “Given the nature of the film and the current trends in the global film market, we think that 3D is the medium to go,” said Su-yeon Kim. “But this will delay the film’s release date and bring significant changes to the film’s logistics.”
