‘Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade’: New posters for Korean remake

Jin-Roh- The Wolf Brigade (인랑) - Korea

The first two posters for Kim Jee-Woon’s JIN-ROH: THE WOLF BRIGADE (인랑)  have been released onto the Interwebs. The South Korea sci-fi film is due for release by Warner in July 2018. You can check out the posters below.

The film, a remake of Mamoru Oshii’s manga series Kerberos Panzer Cop was previously filmed as two live action films The Red Spectacles (1987) and StrayDog: Kerberos Panzer Cops (1991). However, the more famous of the adaptations is the Hiroyuki Okiura anime Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade first released in 1999.

While the original was set in an alternative 1950s Japan, this remake will be set in a dystopian Korea of 2029, where plans to unite the two Koreas have been underway for years. The titular special force is put together to combat the anti-unification terrorist group known as The Sect.

Starring Gang Dong-Won, Han Hyo-Joo, Kim Moo-Yul, and Han Ye-Ri, the film has a fair amount of buzz around it. Not for nothing either: director Kim Jee-Woon’s previous films have included The Age of Shadows (2016), I Saw the Devil (2010), The Good, the Bad and the Weird (2008), A Bittersweet Life (2005), A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), and The Quiet Family (1998).

This is going to be huge.
