Korean top actor Lee Byung-hun’s latest film “Masquerade” will have its world premiere at one of the biggest art museums in the United States.
The pic’s distributor CJ E&M said in a press release Thursday that the costume drama is to be screened for the Film Independent program at the Los Angeles County Museum Of Art [LACMA] on Friday.
Proving the heightened expectation for the movie, the officials added that all 600 seats for the event have sold out.
“The film fits our goal [to spotlight the Asian culture] and our audiences’ who expect to meet the Korean history through beautiful mise-en-Scene,” an official from the LACMA was quoted as saying.
The King’s story, scheduled to open in selected American theaters on September 21, scored a massive opening of approximately one million U.S. dollars at the Korean box office on September 13.
