After a few years off legendary Korean film director Im Kwon-taek (Chunhyang, Chihwaseon, Beyond the Years) is at it again. I have to admit though, I’m not quite sold on the subject material. Paper? Really? Im himself readily admits it took him over two years to work out the script for this unusual topic (Korean hanji paper) and nearly regretted accepting the project. I’m sure this film will be just as gorgeous as Im’s previous works (probably more so with this being his first foray into HD) and I really can’t wait to see how he puts it all together. Scooping Up the Moonlight (working title) is targeted for festival release in Korea in April 2010. You can read the official releases at the links below.
