The late Kim Su-mi's final work and a film noted for the most unique premise in Korean film history, "Revenge of the Skate," confirmed its release date and unveiled a teaser poster and press stills.
The film "Revenge of the Skate," which combines the unique imagination of a skate from outer space with an SF alien comedy, has set its release for Dec. 10 (Wednesday) and released a teaser poster and press stills. The film "Revenge of the Skate" is an outlandish comedy that mixes the invasion of alien skates, a soulful band and an unexpected romance
The newly released teaser poster, with the humorous copy "Save the earth from the alien skate!", compressively captures the film's original worldview with a striking giant skate alien visual and draws attention. Also, the poster's space background and retro SF-style design raise expectations for the film's outlandish imagination. Then, from Jin-su, who holds a guitar (Lee Sun-jung), to the comical expression of Hong hal-mae (the late Kim Su-mi) and Ji-gu with a bright smile, the three main characters' appearances promise a cheerful ensemble and heighten anticipation for the B-grade comedy action that will unfold after becoming entangled in an alien attack. Also, the copy "the ultimate in absurd comedy!!" immediately showcases the charm of this work, which captures both retro SF sensibility and humor, and heralds the birth of a new-concept comic SF that will hit theaters this winter.
Meanwhile, the released press stills vividly capture the invasion of the alien skate and the slapstick chaos that ensues among humans. Centered on skate shop owner Hong hal-mae, viewers can glimpse the entertaining commotion that occurs as Seongwon Pharmaceutical researcher Jin-su and security guard Ji-gu get caught up in the alien life's attack. Actor the late Kim Su-mi, who plays Hong hal-mae, brings the character of a skate specialty restaurant owner to life with her characteristic coarse wit and natural acting, leaving a strong presence as her final work. Also, actor Lee Sun-jung portrays Jin-su, a pure and quirky researcher who devotes herself to developing a new solid toothpaste with a born sense of smell, delivering performances that elicit both laughter and empathy. In addition, actor Oh Seung-hee appears as Ji-gu, a security team member who used to be a stuntwoman, showing a confident charm. In particular, the band practice scenes and the scenes leading to the appearance of the alien skate fully capture the film's "absurd comic SF" energy, and they raise expectations for the special chemistry the three protagonists will create in a wildly imaginative world that alternates between reality and fantasy.
