[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] Director Kim Ji-woon’s new film "Geomi-jip" (Spider’s Web) will begin filming in March.

On the 11th, Barunson announced that the film "Geomi-jip" has confirmed the casting of actors Song Kang-ho, Im Soo-jung, Oh Jung-se, Jeon Yeo-bin, and Jung Soo-jung, and has started preparations for filming.

"Geomi-jip" is set in the 1970s and tells a tragic yet funny and sad story about Director Kim (played by Song Kang-ho), who is obsessed with the idea that reshooting the ending of the already completed film "Geomi-jip" will make it better. Despite obstacles such as censorship authorities’ interference and uncooperative actors and producers who do not understand the changed content, he pushes forward with filming under harsh conditions.

Song Kang-ho collaborates with Director Kim Ji-woon for the fifth time, following "A Quiet Family," "The Foul King," "The Good, the Bad, the Weird," and "The Age of Shadows."

Set during the Yushin era, Song Kang-ho plays Director Kim, who is consumed by the desire to make a masterpiece at all costs. The story focuses on how Director Kim’s obsession unfolds amid various impossibilities: censorship by the Ministry of Culture and Public Information staff stationed on set, uncooperative actors forcibly brought in who cannot even understand the revised script, opposition from the producer, and having to vacate the set for the filming of "Star’s Hometown."

Im Soo-jung, reuniting with Director Kim Ji-woon since "A Tale of Two Sisters," plays Kang Ho-se’s wife and veteran actress Lee Min-ja. Oh Jung-se takes on the role of Kang Ho-se, the popular top male lead actor in the film within the film, who is a notorious womanizer and married man.

Jeon Yeo-bin portrays Shin Mi-do, the financial manager of the production company Shinseong Film and a Japan-educated professional. She firmly supports Director Kim’s conviction that he will create a masterpiece, despite opposition from the producer who is her aunt. Jung Soo-jung has been cast as the rookie actress Han Yu-rim.

"Geomi-jip," the inaugural project of Anthology Studio joined by Director Kim Ji-woon and Song Kang-ho, is co-produced by Barunson Investment and Barunson Studio. Shin Yeon-sik, the director and screenwriter of "Ruthless," also participates as a co-producer.
