Jang Hang-jun's New Film 'Rebound' to Release in April

Director Jang Hang-jun may continue the basketball craze in theaters. Barunson E&A announced on the 24th that the movie 'Rebound' will be released in April.

'Rebound' depicts the story of eight relentless days of a newly appointed coach and six players of the weakest basketball team, who were unnoticed during the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament.

Director Jang Hang-jun, who directed the drama 'Sign' (2011) and the film 'Forgotten Night' (2017), brought to the screen the true story of the Busan Jungang High School basketball team, which performed a miracle at the 2012 Korea Basketball Association President's National Middle and High School Basketball Tournament. The screenplay was written by Kwon Sung-hwi, writer of the film 'The Spy Gone North' (2018) and the Netflix series 'Suriname' (2022), and Kim Eun-hee, writer of the drama 'Signal' (2016) and the Netflix series 'Kingdom' (2018?2020).

Captivated by a story more dramatic than a movie, the production team of 'The Outlaws' prepared the film for 10 years. The film portrays the true story of Kang Yang-hyun, a newly appointed coach and former high school basketball MVP, and six players who led Busan Jungang High School, which had lost its former glory as a basketball powerhouse, to success at the 2012 National High School Basketball Tournament.

Actor Ahn Jae-hong plays the new coach Kang Yang-hyun, and Lee Shin-young, Jung Jin-woon, Kim Taek, Jung Gun-joo, Kim Min, and Ahn Ji-ho appear as players of Busan Jungang High School.
