Na Hong-jin’s sci-fi horror film Hope unveiled its first trailer as the movie screened for Cannes critics on Sunday night.
Hope is set in Hope Harbor near a fortified demilitarized zone, where chief Bum-seok investigates a suspected tiger and finds multiple aliens hunting townspeople instead.
Hwang Jung-min leads a cast that also includes Zo In-Sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender.
Cannes reactions were generally positive, praising the action and creature-feature elements while flagging visual effects as a weak point before the film’s planned fall theatrical release.
