Madman Entertainment has just recently released 6 new stills from director Chan-wook
Park's (also the director/writer of Oldboy) latest supernatural film Thirst. Thirst is
about a priest named Sang-hyun (played by top Korean star Song Kang-ho, of The Host)
who cherishes life; so much so, that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine
development project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. When the virus ends up taking
the priest, an emergency blood transfusion unwittingly delivers infected blood and
turns him into a vampire. Sang-hyun is now conflicted between the carnal desire for
blood and his faith, which forbids him to kill. When a childhood friend's wife, Tae-ju,
comes to him asking for his help in escaping her life, Sang-hyun soon plunges into a
world of sensual pleasures and sin.
Thirst will be released through Madman's website www.madman.com.au on January
the 13th, 2010. In the meantime, check out the stills below.
