74th Cannes Film Festival Hit 'Emergency Declaration' to Release in August

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] The movie "Emergency Declaration" will be released in August.

Showbox announced this on the 7th and unveiled the launching poster. "Emergency Declaration" (directed by Han Jae-rim) is a reality aviation disaster film centered on a plane that has declared an unconditional landing due to an unprecedented aviation terror incident. It was screened in the non-competitive section at the 74th Cannes Film Festival last year.

Directed by Han Jae-rim, who also directed "The Face Reader" (2013) and "The King" (2017), the film stars Song Kang-ho and Jeon Do-yeon, who won Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the Cannes Film Festival, drawing significant attention.

The released poster features veteran detective team leader In-ho (Song Kang-ho), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Minister Sook-hee (Jeon Do-yeon), and Blue House Crisis Management Center Director Tae-soo (Park Hae-joon), who are fighting desperately on the ground to prevent the aviation disaster. Their expressions, as they watch the plane caught in the disaster situation, convey the tense moments of every second and minute.

The poster depicting those trapped in the disaster situation in the sky conveys a desperate and precarious atmosphere. Jae-hyuk (Lee Byung-hun), who boarded the plane with his child; First Officer Hyun-soo (Kim Nam-gil) and Purser Hee-jin (Kim So-jin), who are working to ensure the passengers' safety; and passenger Jin-seok (Im Si-wan), who is closely observing the chaotic situation, all show vivid expressions reflecting the urgent situation at 28,000 feet above ground.
