Korean actor Jang Dong-gun's Hollywood debut pic will premiere simultaneously in the U.S. and Korea, according to the film's distributor SK Telecom on Thursday.
SK stated through a press release that "The Warrior's Way," whose release date in the U.S. had already been set for December 3, will also open at the same time in theaters in Korea (December 2 in Korea time) .
The movie's cast also includes some of Hollywood's biggest names including Kate Bosworth, Danny Huston and Geoffrey Rush.
American firm Relativity Media, co-producers of Hollywood blockbusters "Salt" (2010) starring Angelina Jolie and "Public Enemies" (2009) starring Johnny Depp, had bought the distribution rights for "The Warrior's Way" in the U.S. in July.
He is set to reunite with "Taegukgi" director Kang Je-gyu for a pic tentatively titled "My Way."
