Director Yeon Sang-ho’s new film ‘Parasitic Beast: The Gray’ will come on April 5th.
On the 28th, Netflix unveiled the release date and launch poster of the new drama “Parasitic Beast: The Gray” (written by Yeon Sang-ho, Ryu Yong-jae, and directed by Yeon Sang-ho).
‘Parasitic Beast: The Gray’ depicts the story of ‘Suin’, a human who has come to live in symbiosis with parasitic creatures in symbiosis with parasitic creatures when they appear to expand their power by using humans as hosts.
In the released poster, the spores of unidentified parasitic organisms falling from the sky attract attention. The spores that fall on humans infiltrate humans and transform into various forms, signaling the beginning of an unusual event. In the middle of it, one side of his face is deformed, and the tentacles of the parasitic beast are stretching out, making us wonder how he came to have a strange symbiosis with the parasitic beast.
In addition, as a variant that is neither human nor parasitic, it heightens curiosity about how the beast will survive. In addition, the copy of “Perfectly Infiltrate Among Humans” raises expectations for the story that will take place in a situation where we don’t know who is a human and who is a parasitic beast due to the parasitic organism that has infiltrated Korea.
“Parasitic Beast: The Gray” is based on Hitoshi Iwaaki’s manga “Parasitic Beast,” which has sold more than 25 million copies in more than 30 regions and countries with its whimsical imagination and philosophical message that parasitic creatures take over the human brain and manipulate the human body. The original author said of ‘Parasitic Beast: The Gray’, “I was excited because it was a new story, and I think it will take me to a world far beyond my imagination.”
Director Yeon Sang-ho presents a new dimension of creature genre based on ‘parasitic organisms’ that infiltrate humans, and asks, ‘What will happen if parasitic organisms fall in Korea?’ It started from his imagination.
Jeon So-ni plays the role of Su-in, who comes into a strange symbiosis with the parasitic beast ‘Heidi’, and Koo Hwan-hwan gives another impressive performance as Kang-woo, who chases the parasitic beast to find his missing sister. Lee Jung-Hyun plays Joon-Kyung, the leader of the parasitic beast task force ‘The Gray’ team, who lost her husband to a parasitic creature and lives only for the extinction of parasitic beasts. Kwon Hae-hyo plays Cheol-min, a detective who tries to protect Su-in, and Kim In-won plays Won-seok, Cheol-min’s junior.
Coming April 5th.
