'Transformer' Creator to Hollywood Remake 'Yucheitalja'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Lorenzo di Bonaventura, producer of the 'Transformers' and 'G.I. Joe' series, will be in charge of the Hollywood remake of the film 'Body Swap.'

On the 29th, AB Entertainment announced this and revealed that the film has been sold to 107 countries overseas.

'Body Swap' has signed distribution contracts for major Asian countries including Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Vietnam, as well as European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Spain, along with the United States, Canada, South America, and worldwide airline rights. This announcement of pre-sales comes ahead of its domestic release scheduled for the 24th of next month.

The major regional distributors include Taiwan's CATCHPLAY, well known as the distributor of 'Parasite,' Southeast Asia's CLOVER FILMS, the Philippines' VIVA COMMUNICATIONS, and Russia's CIS and Baltic states' NEW FILM.

The overseas sales company K-Movie Entertainment stated, "From the early stages of overseas sales, we actively engaged in remake discussions with leading production companies in the U.S., Europe, China, South America, and India, based on the concept of an action film where the body changes every 12 hours and the fact that it was produced by the team behind 'The Villainess' and 'The Outlaws.' Among them, Lorenzo di Bonaventura showed the fastest and most enthusiastic intention to remake the film, holding video meetings even while filming a new 'Transformers' series in Peru, and was confident as soon as he saw the movie."

The film is a chase action movie about a man who wakes up in a different person's body every 12 hours, having lost his memory, and fights desperately to find his true self who has become the target of mysterious individuals. It is a work that reunites the production team of 'The Outlaws' with actor Yoon Kye-sang.
