7 Jun - South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho is following Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho's lead by procuring his first major studio film.

The "Train to Busan" director will be helming and penning the movie "35th Street" for Tristar Pictures, with the project to be produced by WOW POINT and Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way.

This will be his very first English-language project and has been described being an action-horror flick.

Yeon made a name for himself in the movie business with the success of his thriller, "Train to Busan", which made USD 98 million worldwide.

The success spawned the sequel "Peninsula", though it did not create similar success as to its predecessor.

His other works include the 2018 movie, "Psychokinesis" starring Ryu Seung-ryeong, and the 2023 film "Jung_E", a sci-fi flick starring Kang Soo-yeon and Kim Hyun-joo. His last project was the 2024 TV series, "Parasyte: The Grey", which was also produced by WOW POINT.
