‘The Fortress’ sold to 23 countries
The film starring Lee Byung-hun, Kim Yoon-seok and Park Hae-il follows the 47 days spent by King Injo of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) and his officials in Namhan Mountain Fortress, on the southern outskirts of Seoul, to escape the invasion by China’s Qing Dynasty in the winter of 1636.
Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, it was adapted from Kim Hoon’s best-selling novel with the same Korean title.
Following its successful debut in venues owned by the Korean cinema chain CGV in Los Angeles and Buena Park, California, on Oct. 6, “The Fortress” received a wider release in 27 theaters around the country Friday.
