Film "Late Autumn," starring Korean actor Hyun Bin and Chinese actress Tang Wei, will make its premiere in the United States this month, according to the official website of U.S. CGV Cinemas.

The official website revealed that "Late Autumn" will open on two dates and in six cities including Los Angeles and Seattle on June 17 and a week later in Atlanta, New York, New Jersey and San Jose.

"Late Autumn," which opened in Korean theaters on February 17, tells of a coincidental meeting between a male gigolo named Hoon (Hyun Bin) and Anna (Tang Wei), who is in jail for murdering her abusive husband.

The movie was first released in 1966 by famed Korean director Lee Man-hee and was re-made three times -- into "Promise of the Body" in 1975, "Manchu" in 1982 and Japanese film "Promise" in 1972.

"Late Autumn" was invited to the international film festivals in Berlin and Switzerland and received a special mention at the latter.
