'Train to Busan' Sequel to Hit Indian Screens on This Day
News 18Mumbai: South Korean zombie thriller “Peninsula”, directed by Yeon Sang-ho, is slated to be released in Indian theatres on November 27, Zee Studios and Kross Pictures said on Monday. “Peninsula”, which was a major draw at the Korean box office when the country’s theatres resumed activity after COVID-19 induced lockdown, is set four years after the zombie virus outbreak as depicted in “Train to Busan”. Hyunwoo Thomas Kim, CEO of Kross Pictures, said, “We’re thrilled to distribute a Korean film in India in conjunction with Zee Studios and feel privileged that it’s Yeon Sang-ho’s much loved ‘Peninsula’, which is one of the biggest hit movies in Korea this year. We hope it will be a great cinema experience for Indian audiences coming out of the long lockdown.” “Peninsula” was announced as an official Cannes Film Festival 2020 Selection and was set to make its world premiere at the prestigious movie gala, which could not be held in its “original form” in the wake of the pandemic.
