The movie `April Snow` starring Bae Yong-jun will open, perhaps concurrently, in
10 Asian countries in coming September. The distribution company of `April Snow`
said Feb. 24 that it has already signed contracts with Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Singapore and Malaysia, and is currently in talks with Thailand, the
Philippines, Indonesia and other Asian countries. The company said movie
distribution companies in these countries want to release and promote `April
Snow` concurrently with Korea.
"Each of these countries plans to market
the movie according to our schedule. We have devised a detailed plan for holding
press conferences for foreign journalists and launching a tour around Asia prior
to the movie`s release," said a person close to the company.
`April
Snow,` whose filming began on Feb. 4 in Samcheok of Gangwon Province, stars Bae
Yong-jun and Son Ye-jin in the lead roles. It portrays a man and a woman who,
after being betrayed by their former lovers, fall in dangerous and
heart-wrenching love with each other.
