Today on July 22, 2024, CJ ENM Movie unveiled the highly anticipated Harbin trailer and poster, a biographical spy thriller set against the backdrop of early 20th-century political turmoil. Directed by Woo Min-ho and produced by Hive MediaCorp, this film is poised to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative and intense action sequences. The film has already garnered international attention, being officially invited to the 49th Toronto International Film Festival Gala Presents section.
Harbin (하얼빈) features an impressive cast, including Hyun Bin as the legendary Korean independence activist Ahn Jung-geun, Park Jung-min as Woo Deok-soon, Cho Woo-jin as Kim Sang-hyun, and Jeon Yeo-been as Koo Ja-in. The film chronicles the daring mission of Ahn Jung-geun, who famously assassinated the first Japanese prime minister in 1909. Set in Harbin, China, the story follows Ahn’s infiltration and his perilous journey to execute his mission amidst a backdrop of betrayal and danger.
The international trailer opens with a haunting scene of Ahn Jung-geun walking alone on a desolate, icy landscape.
