A vivid making-of trailer for director Na Hong-jin's new film 'Hope' (HOPE) has been released.

'Hope' begins with the story of 'Beom-seok', the head of the Pohang outpost located in the Demilitarized Zone, who hears from local youths that a tiger has appeared, putting the entire village on high alert as he encounters an unbelievable reality.

'Hope' is a pure action film completed with traditional techniques, featuring a high-difficulty 3D creature. Like action films from the 20th century, 'Hope' was made as a classic action film where all stunts are performed and filmed by actors without any CG assistance. Additionally, the production took on the challenge of featuring a 3D creature in broad daylight, offering audiences a unique cinematic experience through the collision of a 3D creature completed with facial capture and motion capture and pure human-made action.

This making-of trailer for 'Hope' captures the production team's intense process and efforts to create the collision of these two genres. Audiences can witness the thrilling process of 'Hope' action filming, including a slider system capable of reaching speeds of 200 km/h, bike cams, and specially designed wire cams.

For the first time, this making-of trailer reveals on-site footage of motion capture and facial capture filmed with foreign actors Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell, and Cameron Britton visiting Korea directly. Michael Fassbender said, "I really love director Na Hong-jin's films. They are extremely artistic, fun, and thrilling," while Alicia Vikander left a deep impression with her intense performance, fully immersed in her character. Taylor Russell and Cameron Britton also displayed delicate facial expressions and gave their all in their acting to portray the 3D creature.

Meanwhile, 'Hope' is scheduled to be released on July 15.
