First stills from Na Hong-jin's new film 'Hope' (HOPE), his first in 10 years, have been released.
The 'Hope' stills, released on the 30th, capture tense moments: 'Beom-seok' (played by Hwang Jung-min) spotted by someone's gaze through a foggy window in a dark space; 'Seong-gi' (played by Jo In-sung) aiming a gun deep in a forest; and 'Seong-ae' (played by Jeong Ho-yeon) holding a gun in a destroyed village.


The stills from 'Hope' show vivid scenes of each character facing an unbelievable reality set against Pohang. The image draws attention to the people of Pohang fighting desperately to protect their village, including 'Beom-seok', the outpost manager, hiding behind a broken wall while holding a gun; 'Seong-gi', a village youth making an emergency call; and 'Seong-ae', looking startled at something from a police car that has arrived on the scene.



The new faces of Hwang Jung-min, Jo In-sung, and Jeong Ho-yeon, as seen in Na Hong-jin's film, have generated high expectations.
Meanwhile, 'Hope' is a story that begins with 'Beom-seok', the outpost manager located in the Demilitarized Zone, hearing from local youths that a tiger has appeared, leading to a village-wide alert and an encounter with an unbelievable reality.
'Hope' will be first unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival in May and is scheduled for release this summer.
