Neon is pulling back the curtain on creature feature Hope with some gory new photos they’ve shared with Bloody Disgusting ahead of the film’s release in theaters next week.
The latest from writer-director Na Hong-jin (The Wailing) is set to release in theaters on September 9.
Audiences can see it even earlier with Hope Premium Early Access screenings on September 7; the film will screen at 175 PLF (Premium Large Format) locations across the country in six premium formats, including Dolby, 4DX, ScreenX, HDR by Barco, D-BOX and Dolby Atmos, with participating theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and more.
Tickets are on sale now for the early access event screenings.
Hope follows “police outpost chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) as they investigate a series of violent attacks believed to be the work of a mysterious creature lurking in the nearby forest. As local hunters join the search, the line between predator and prey begins to blur, revealing a story that challenges assumptions about fear, humanity, and the unknown.”
Based on the new images below, this creature feature may be gnarlier than the trailer suggests.
Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) also star in Hope.
Hope had its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival back in May. The festival’s director, Thierry Fremaux, previously teased that Hope “constantly changes genres” to capture a story of “no part of history that’s ever been told before.”
