Director Na Hong-jin's new film "Hope" will be unveiled in the competition section of the 79th Cannes Film Festival on May 17 (local time).


The world premiere screening will take place at the Grand Théâtre Lumière in Cannes. Director Na and the cast will walk the red carpet and attend an official press conference the following day.



"Hope" tells the story of mysterious beings appearing at Hopho Port, located in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Hwang Jung-min plays Beomseok, the head of the Hopho Port branch office, while Zo In-sung portrays Seonggi, a young man from the village. Hollywood actors Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Taylor Russell take on the roles of alien characters. To vividly capture the performances, the production team used motion capture and facial capture technology to track the actors' movements and expressions and bring the digital characters to life.
