Director Yeon Sang‑ho, known for ‘Train to Busan’, has just released the first trailer of his upcoming post‑apocalyptic horror film, ‘Colony’. The story unfolds during a biotechnology conference that turns into a nightmare when a highly mutable virus infects the attendees, turning them into aggressive creatures. Authorities are forced to quarantine the site, leaving the survivors trapped inside the facility.
The cast brings together talents such as Gianna Jun (‘Vampire Hunters’), Jun Ji‑hyun (‘Kingdom’), Shin Hyun‑been (‘Hospital Playlist’), Ji Chang‑wook (‘The Worst of Evil’) and Koo Kyo‑hwan (‘Parasyte: The Grey’). Yeon describes the project as the pinnacle of his work, although it is still unclear whether the film will connect to the ‘Train to Busan’ universe. With no release date, ‘Colony’ will make its debut at the Cannes Film Festival, promising more revelations soon.
In the original plot of ‘Train to Busan’, South Korea goes into a state of emergency after the spread of an unknown virus, with survivors trying to escape on a bullet train toward Busan, the only city supposedly free of the infection.
