“The Host” and “Snowpiercer filmmaker Bong Joon-Ho returns this year with the Netflix original film “Okja,” but it looks like he’s already developing his next project.
AsianWiki (via The Playlist) reports that Bong’s go to actor Song-Kang Ho will re-team with him on the feature “Parasite”. All that’s been revealed about the project is that it will ‘revolve around a family going through a disturbance’.
The plan is reportedly for the movie to be ready for release in South Korea in 2018. No official confirmation of the report has come through at this point

South Korea’s top filmmaker, Bong Joon-ho has begun shooting “Parasite,” his first film since “Okja” which was backed by Netflix and debuted in competition last year in Cannes. It stars Song Kang-ho, Korea’s leading character actor.

The film is a drama about a family of four, in which each member has unique characteristics. Bong says that, despite the title, the film does not include either parasites or alien creatures.

Production started on Sunday. “The film had been originally scheduled to start shooting in our studio on May 25, but was pushed back slightly,” a spokesperson from Goyang Aqua Studio, an outfit that specializes in underwater shooting, told Variety on Wednesday.

After shooting “Snowpiercer” and “Okja” largely in English, the film is Bong’s first Korean-language title since his 2009 “Mother.”

Love me some Bong. Very excited to see him back in Korean language after Snowpiercer and Okja (though both were excellent, especially Okja).

Interesting trailer, not quite sure what to make of it yet until I see the English dub. Totally forgot he directed Snowpiercer!

Steering clear of the trailer. Been hearing a lot of positive buzz about this flick.

[Silvermoth]

Yeah I especially liked Woo Sik Choi, I wonder what he’ll do next? He’s got a bright future

 

[Kane52630]

Park So-dam was also impressive.

I love how that first half sets you up for something you completely did not expect. It's almost like that first half could have been the plot for a 90s sitcom.

 

[Silvermoth]

I had no idea what was going to happen.

I love what the director said about how this is a film that’s it’s own genre. Not many flicks can say that
