[FILM NEWS] HUNT To Get Australian Cinema Release

MONSTER PICTURES in pleased to reveal both the Poster Artwork and list of Australian Cinemas that HUNT will open in from September 22.

Lee Jung-jae made history earlier this week for becoming the first actor of Asian ethnicity to win an Emmy award for Best Male Actor in a Drama, for his role as Seong Gi-hun in the hit Netflix series SQUID GAME. 

In addition to starring, Jung-Jae also makes his directorial debut with HUNT and it has already proven a box office juggernaut, taking over $45 million at the Korean box office to date, earning more than BULLET TRAIN and NOPE combined in the territory.

After a high-ranking North Korean official requests asylum, KCIA Foreign Unit Chief Park Pyong-ho (Jung-jae) and Domestic Unit Chief Kim Jung-do (Jung Woo-sung, STEEL RAIN) are tasked with uncovering a North Korean spy, known as Donglim, who is deeply embedded within their agency.

When the spy begins leaking top secret intel that could jeopardize national security, the two units are each assigned to investigate each other. In this tense situation where if they cannot find the mole, they may be accused themselves, Pyong-ho and Jung-do slowly start to uncover the truth. In the end, they must deal with an unthinkable plot to assassinate the South Korean president.
