Fresh off its Cannes premiere, the Hope teaser trailer offers the first look at the cosmic creatures wreaking havoc in the sci-fi thriller.
The Korean production is written and directed by Na Hong-jin (The Wailing).
Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) star.
Set in the remote South Korea village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok (Hwang) and officer Sung-ae (Hoyeon) are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village. In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki (Zo), set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead.
But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
Na produces alongside Saemi Kim and Saerom Kim for Forged Films. Jeongin Hong executive produces, with Plus M Entertainment financing.
Hope is slated for a US theatrical release this fall from Neon.
