Animated ‘Train to Busan’ Prequel ‘Seoul Station’ Coming to iTunes
Find out what happened before the events of Train to Busan.
Like many horror fans, I consider the South Korean zombie flick Train to Busan to be one of the best horror movies released last year. And I’ll go even one step further. Intense, terrifying and packed with emotional depth, it’s one of the best zombie movies of all time. Seriously.
Yeon Sang-ho follows up the film with this year’s Seoul Station (read our review) an animated prequel that FilmRise just announced they’ll be unleashing on iTunes here in the states on Tuesday, May 30th. Our own Luiz H.C. found it to be “thoroughly entertaining” and “a worthy companion” to the live action hit, so you’ll definitely want to check it out.
Find the trailer, poster and plot rundown below.
In the animated prequel…
As the sun sets around Seoul Station, an old man thought to have died sinks his teeth into the warm flesh of a homeless person. Soon, the streets are filled with vicious zombies desperate to feed.
Hae-sun, a runaway, witnesses the frightening sight while her father and boyfriend desperately search for her. As the attacked become the attackers, the government declares a lock out of the station, leaving the uninfected to struggle desperately against the dangerous undead. With zombie numbers exploding, people are forced to flee with no place to run to, not knowing if they will survive.
Ryu Seung-ryong, Shim Eun-kyung, and Lee Joon star.
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
