Last month Park Chan-wook did an interview with Korea Joongang Daily. Some great tidbits about the director and his upcoming film Stoker – Link

Highlights:

• His next film will be The Axe which he had planned on shooting before Stoker was presented to him
• An interesting blurb on making films in Hollywood “ The assistant director here once scared me a bit when he told me I’d have to give up some scenes if I didn’t finish a shot in 15 minutes.”
• He considered remaking Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. but passed on it because of his love for the film

We see our first trailer for Hong Sang-soo’s Canne Film Festival entry In Another Country.
