“Just promise to liberate me.” “You gave your word!” Netflix has revealed an impressive teaser trailer for a Korean action film titled Uprising, set for streaming on Netflix in October this fall. This is directed by a Korean filmmaker named Kim Sang-man (also of Midnight FM and The Tenor) and features a screenplay co-written by Park Chan-wook. It’s also produced by Park Chan-wook as an action epic. Set in the Joseon Dynasty, two friends who grew up together, one the master & one the servant, reunite post-war as enemies on opposing sides. The film stars Gang Dong-won as Cheon-young and Park Jeong-min as Jong-ryeo, with Kim Shin-rock, Jin Sun-kyu, Jung Sung-il, and Cha Seung-won. “Uprising delves into themes of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal against the backdrop of societal class differences and war… The chaos escalates with the onset of war, turning the friends into enemies. Cheon-yeong joins the militia, earning the fearsome nickname ‘the blue-robed god’ for unmatched swordsmanship, while Jong-ryeo is a high-ranking military officer filled with rage towards Cheon-yeong.” This looks intense! Lots of aggression! Check it out.
