We had learned back in August of last year that director Yeon Sang-ho was working on a sequel to the exceptional 2016 zombie film Train to Busan – spoilers, it’s one of the movies you’ll find on our “best of the decade” list, coming soon! – and the website HallyuLife brings us the update today that the follow-up, titled Peninsula, is likely arriving next year.
“We are preparing for the market release by summer 2020, but the schedule for international release has not been decided yet,” the distribution company reportedly stated this week.
“The film will revisit the same zombie virus that was seen in the original movie, except this time the focus will be expanded to the entire Korean peninsula.”
Train to Busan spawned a prequel with the animated film Seoul Station back in 2016, and we had learned last September than an English-language remake was in the works.
