Heo Jin-ho`s movie `Outing` (tentative title) stole
the spotlight in Japan
after it was confirmed that Bae Young-jun will star in the movie. The script of
the movie has not been released yet. Showeast, the producing company, only
presented a short synopsis to the market, but Japanese filmmakers sent their `love
call` upon learning that Bae Young-jun is expected to star in the movie.
Showeast`s overseas
distribution team declined to disclose the amount of the proposal, but said it
was as large as the amounts received for previous high-profile movies that were
sold to Japan.
Showeast plans to hold negotiations with Japanese filmmakers until they agree
to the best conditions. `Outing` is a melodrama about a man whose wife gets
into a car accident while on a business trip. He goes to see her in a
provincial hospital and learns that there was a man who was with his wife at
the time of the accident. Later, he meets that man`s wife, and the story
revolts around these four people. Currently, the production company is looking
for a lead actress to star with Bae Young-jun. Filming is expected to begin
next month.
