While I love Ha Ji Won and think she is literally a goddess come to life for her amazing breadth of acting roles in her career, I don’t always love her projects, nor automatically watch anything she stars in. This baby, however, I’m totally onboard for.
The sure-to-be-a-blockbuster Summer K-movie Sector 7, starring Ha Ji Won, Ahn Seung Ki (also known as “Korea’s National Actor”), and Oh Ji Ho, released it’s official posters and trailer this week. This movie is also going to be Korea’s first homemade 3D offering, and I must say the visuals look slick and the tension thick.
One of my favorite creature features of all time is actually the K-movie The Host, which PWNS many Hollywood monster movies with 10 times the budget. Quality filmmaking starts and ends with a great script paired with a good director. Sector 7 tells the story of a group of rough-and-tumble folks on an oil rig out in the middle of the ocean who find themselves in a close encounter with a creature from the depths below which has mutated and isn’t looking to make new friends.
Trailer for Sector 7:
It’s pretty astounding (not to mention makes me happy as a member of the fairer sex) to acknowledge that Ha Ji Won gets top billing for a movie this big, in a country as conservative as Korea, for a movie about kicking the ass of a sea creature six-ways to Sunday. Truly she is elevating what it means to be an A-list actress in Korea, and I love her more for it.
Awesomely quirky Bae Doo Na did some ass-kicking in The Host, but she was just a supporting player. Here, I wouldn’t be surprised if every other character bit it in the end, leaving Ha Ji Won and the creature in a (wo)mano-a-slithery monster showdown, ala Sigourney Weaver as Ripley vs the Queen in Aliens.
The first promos for sci-fi movie Wonderland have been less than wonderous but having such…

You took the words out my mouth, leaving Ha Ji Won and the creature in a (wo)mano-a-slithery monster showdown, ala Sigourney Weaver as Ripley vs the Queen in Aliens.
Love the trailer, love monster movies and I also loved The Host. It is going to be quite a wait for me until it hits the states with subs probably but looking forward to watching this movie. Monster looks cool.
LMAO, is that fake Dokko Jin I see in that poster? xD
This looks like a movie I saw on the syfy channel
Not bad for Ha Ji Won to be Korea's Angelina Jolie... ur definitely right though Ockoala bout her having said film after the conservative culture of Korea...
Why her role always holding a Guns????maybe it fit with her character...just cant wait the movie..
Ha Ji Won ok I'm seeing a Korean Angelina Jolie if only she'd grow her hair.... ;-) her angst or her smirk definitely show masculine galore!!!! Like what I said I LOVE STRONG WOMEN!!!! ;-)
Maybe that is what our HB saw in her in Secret Garden....This woman is one hot babe....Look more awesome here than in SG...Can't wait. Fighting!!!
