Two Detectives Battle to Solve a Murder In ‘The Beast’
Gaumont and Contents Panda, the international business subsidiary of Next Entertainment World (Train to Busan) are joining forces on The Beast, a Korean remake of Olivier Marchal’s 36, the stylish French thriller starring Gérard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil (pictured above), reports Variety.
The remake will depict the confrontation between two strong-willed rival detectives with different methods who are trying to solve the murder of a missing girl after discovering her cold, limbless body in the tidelands of Incheon.
Lee Sung-min, You Chea-myung and Jeon Hye-jin are starring in The Beast. Lee Jeong-ho is set to direct the movie which will start shooting this month.
Contents Panda handles sales to Asian territories and Gaumont represents the movie for the rest of the world.
Jennifer Holland (“Peacemaker”) and Dave Annable (“Lioness”) will lead the cast of upcoming supernatural Civil War thriller Brine, Deadline reports this afternoon.
B.J. Golnick (“Hunting Hitler”) will be directing Brine.
Brine follows a family of Confederate deserters who escape the Union bombardment of Fort Pulaski with a cache of stolen gold and disappear into the Georgia marshlands.
When they take refuge in a remote plantation house, what first appears to be salvation slowly reveals itself as part of something ancient, predatory and impossible to escape.
Jonah Wharton (Lioness), Sissy Sheridan (Chicken Girls), and Grayson Lay (Outer Banks) also star. The screenplay was written by B.J. Golnick and Jeremy Miller.
“Brine is a story about survival, but it is also a story about inheritance…The violence we pass down, the myths we create to justify it, and the cost of trying to break free,” Golnick previews.
“We intend for the film to feel intimate, historically grounded and deeply unnerving, as if the supernatural elements weren’t invented, but unearthed from the marsh itself.”
