The distributor has released the poster for 'Spiderweb' screening at the Cannes Film Festival. The poster features an illustration of spider webs seemingly hanging over the back of director Kim (Song Kang-ho) sitting in the director's chair. After a successful debut, director Kim, labeled as a specialist in melodramas, is determined to reshoot the ending of the already completed film 'Spiderweb,' believing it will become a masterpiece. The poster arouses curiosity about whether the filming can be safely completed under all sorts of adverse conditions and whether the long-cherished masterpiece can be born.
