LEE Sung-gang, director of the acclaimed My Beautiful Girl, Mari which
won the Grand Prix at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 2002,
will open production on his second feature-length animated film in June.
Titled Cheonnyeon-yeou, Yeoubi in Korean, the fantasy romance
centers around the Asian mythical figure of the "nine-tailed fox", which is able
to take the shape of a human. The film's hero is a ten-year old girl who
experiences an adolescent romance.
To be co-produced by Yellow Film and
Sunwoo Entertainment, the film will be shot in 2D with a 3D set in the
background, in order to create a greater feeling of depth and volume. The film's
estimated release date is August 2006.
Last year, the $3.5 million film
was also selected to receive $800,000 (8 billion won) of funding from KOFIC,
under its Production Support for Feature Animation program.
Recently,
director LEE also completed his first live action feature Texture of
Skin, about a man who encounters the spirit of a woman who used to live in
his home. Texture of Skin is sold internationally by Mirovision.
