"Thirst" To Be Released in U.S. July 31

Sorry, trailer is in Korean, but I think you get the idea!!!



Thirst, Park Chan-wook's vampire flick and recent Cannes film festival jury winner will be released in the U.S. on July 31, the film's North American distributor Focus Features said Wednesday. The screenings start in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York and will gradually expand to include other states for a wider release. "Very few films I've ever seen, going back to Hitchcock's 'Vertigo,' have that kind of feel of love and at the same time has horror and a terrifying philosophical exercise in thinking through the greatest extremes of what human emotions and human ambitions can lead to," said James Schamus, the CEO of Focus Features in an earlier announcement of the company's collaboration with CJ Entertainment in March, referring to Park's film.

Fans of Park Chan-wook and his epic "Sympathy Trilogy" should be lining up to see his latest work, Thirst, a vampire drama comedy arriving in theaters July 31 from Focus Features and recent Cannes jury prize winner. The story finds Korea's leading man, Song Kang-ho (The Host), as a much-loved priest who becomes a vampire after a failed medical experiment; he becomes a tortured and depraved soul. The title refers to a craving for sex, blood and love.
