“I was a fool to ever befriend a lowly slave like you.” Let’s go!! Netflix has debuted an awesome main trailer for the Korean action film Uprising, set for streaming on Netflix next week. This is directed by filmmaker Kim Sang-man (also of Midnight FM and The Tenor) and features a screenplay co-written by Park Chan-wook. It’s also produced by Park Chan-wook as an action epic. Set in the Joseon Dynasty, two friends who grew up together, one the master & one the servant, reunite post-war as enemies on opposing sides. The film stars Gang Dong-won as Cheon-young and Park Jeong-min as Jong-ryeo, with Kim Shin-rock, Jin Sun-kyu, Jung Sung-il, and Cha Seung-won. “Uprising delves into themes of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal against the backdrop of societal class differences and war… The chaos escalates with the onset of war, turning the friends into enemies. Cheon-yeong joins the militia, earning the fearsome nickname ‘the blue-robed god’ for unmatched swordsmanship, while Jong-ryeo is a high-ranking military officer filled with rage towards Cheon-yeong.” Tons of badass fights teased in this. Looks like it’ll be worth a watch! Fire it up. // Continue Reading ›
