Starring Lee Jung-hyun (The Battleship Island), Kim Sung-oh (Door Lock) and Yang Dong-geun (Fighter In The Wind), Night Of The Undead is a comedy thriller about a wife who finds out her supposedly perfect husband is an immortal being called the “unbreakable” and the couple start an extraordinary chase setting secret traps to kill each other.

The film is produced by Brother Pictures and The Contents On (The Dude In Me).

The Anchor is a about a popular anchorwoman (Chun) who receives a call from a tipster that the tipster will be murdered but when she goes out to report, she finds the tipster and her daughter’s bodies and starts seeing hallucinations. The film also stars Shin Ha-kyun and Lee Hye-yeong.

Directed by Jeong Ji-yeon, the film is produced by Insight Film Co. and About Film, which also produced last year’s biggest hit in Korea, Extreme Job.

All three films are in post-production.
