Second Trailer: Sci-Fi Action Epic "Hope"
Police and local hunters track a mysterious creature as panic spreads and reality begins to unravel in the 160-minute sci-fi action film.
- Distributor NEON unveiled the official U.S. trailer for Hope, said to be the most expensive Korean film ever made, directed by filmmaker Na Hong-jin. The sci-fi action film hits North American theaters on Wednesday, September 9.
- Set in the isolated village of Hope Harbor near the Korean Demilitarised Zone, Police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae investigate a creature wreaking havoc. Hunters including Sung-ki track the beast but find themselves hunted instead.

- International stars Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell, and Cameron Britton join Hwang Jung-min, In-Sung, and Hoyeon in the ensemble cast, appearing as aliens in the film.
- Although Hope premiered at Cannes earlier this year, audiences must wait until September for wider release. The trailer offers an extended look at the spaceship and creatures, providing a glimpse into the high-stakes sci-fi epic.
