The film 'Vampire' has completed its casting lineup and will begin full-scale filming in August.
'Vampire' is a mystery occult film depicting the story of an unidentified hitman who, at the request of a clergyman, pursues an unknown group of pagans. On the 18th, NEW announced, "Director Jang Jae-hyun, known for presenting unique storytelling and solid directing in every work such as 'Exhuma', 'Sabaha', and 'Priests', plans to expand his distinctive worldview once again through 'Vampire'."
At a recent script reading session, key cast members including director Jang Jae-hyun, Yoo Ah-in, Lee Sung-min, Lee Jun-hyuk, Do-i, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Choi Hyun-wook attended. Their relationships were tightly interwoven from the very first rehearsal, effectively conveying a dense dynamic that heightened immersion on set.



First, Yoo Ah-in takes on the role of a hitman pursuing a group of pagans. Though he is a calm and composed character who remains unfazed in any situation, he will delicately portray his gradual transformation as he encounters mysterious beings. Lee Sung-min plays a clergyman who breaks taboos for his beliefs. Anchoring the film's core, he deeply conveys a character tormented between responsibility and guilt, grounded in solid acting prowess.
Lee Jun-hyuk appears as a pagan longing for immortality, delivering a shocking transformation. Anticipated to dominate the screen with a sharp aura that completes his mysterious persona, he is expected to leave a strong impression. The role of a veiled young girl has been cast to newcomer Do-i. Having passed through fierce auditions, she will emit fresh energy and firmly establish her presence.
Yoon Kyung-ho takes on the role of a smuggling broker who travels alongside the pagans. With his signature realistic acting style, he will add vitality to the film. Finally, Choi Hyun-wook joins as an American military lieutenant with mysterious motives. His three-dimensional performance, which meticulously expresses even subtle emotions, is expected to inject intense tension into the story.
Meanwhile, 'Vampire' is scheduled for theatrical release in 2028.
