Director Yeon Sang-ho, known for Train to Busan, Parasyte: The Grey and Hellbound is helming one of the much-awaited films Revelations. It follows a pastor and a detective, both dealing with a missing-person case and driven by their own beliefs. It stars Ryu Jun-yeol and Shin Hyun-been.
According to Deadline, Yeon Sang-ho said, "In my last few works, I’ve worked with heavy visual effects and computer graphics because my stories had monsters and creatures in them, but for Revelations, we didn’t have much computer graphics in it, so the work process has been very different," Yeon said, adding that he shot with natural light.
The exact release datea of each title is yet to be announced.
