The blockbuster film Flight: Close to the Sun, which Rain finished filming before he entered the military, will be premiering sometime in August.
A rep for the film recently told enews, "The film is in its last stages of production, and is aiming for a premiere during the summer peak season.”
Some within the film industry had brought up the possibility that the film was drifting without a fixed date for release.
The rep clamped down on those rumors, and said, “[The film] is in its last stages of production. It’s just that the schedule was pushed back to hold the premiere at a better time.”
The film, directed by Kim Dong Won of The Housemaid fame, was originally scheduled to premiere near the end of May, but the date was pushed back to August.
This seems to be because the film industry has started to see the summer vacation season as the peak season. Successful and issue-making films such as The Host, May 18, D-War, Haeundae, Take Off, Quick, The Front Line and Sector 7 all met with their audiences in summer.
As such, the release of Flight in August means that the distribution company expects a lot from the film.
Some officials stated about Flight that they “heard there is a possibility the film will be put in a new form through the finishing touches,” and that they’re “looking forward to how it will turn out.”
A cast member from the film also told enews, “Some are voicing concern about the film because its premiere dates have been pushed back, but [the concerns are] not true. They’re probably concerns by some officials who just saw the edited draft version. I heard that the visuals are pretty good.”
The concerns especially seemed to have more ground as the film’s release kept being pushed back even though it had held its press conference at the Busan International Film Festival in October 2011.
Officials said, however, that “the press conference had to take place at that time because of Rain’s enlistment schedule.”
Flight: Close to the Sun is a film about the love and friendship between air force pilots, and stars Rain, Shin Se Kyung, Jung Seok Won, Yu Jun Sang and Kim Sung Soo. Director Kim Dong Won, who produced My Boss, My Hero 2 and City of Damnation, directed the film. The film made issues for costing more than 10 billion won to produce.
=====================================================================
Film blockbuster Flight: Close to the Sun, yang mana Rain telah menyelesaikan syutingnya sebelum dia memasuki militer, akan tampil perdana bulan Agustus.
Sebuah sumber untuk film ini mengatakan pada enews, " film ini dalam tahap akhir produksinya. dan bertujuan untuk premier selama musim puncak musim panas."
Sebagian institusi perfilman pernah mengungkit kemungkinan bahwa film ini melayang tanpa waktu pasti rilis.
Sang sumber melumpuhkan rumor tersebut, "[film ini] dalam tahap akhir produksinya, hanya saja jadwalnya ditunda untuk mengadakan premier pada waktu yang lebih baik.
Film yang disutradarai oleh Kim Dong Won dari The Housemaid fame, awalnya dijadwalkan akan premier sekitar dekat akhir Mei, tapi tanggal tersebut diundur kembali ke bulan Agustus.
Hal ini tampaknya karena industri film mulai melihat musim liburan musim panas sebagai musim puncak. Keberhasilan dan masalah pembuatan film The Host, May 18, D-War, Haeundae, Take Off, Quick, The Front Line dan Sector 7 seluruhnya akan menjumpai penonton mereka di musim panas.
Dengan demikian, pelepasan Flight pada bulan Agustus berarti bahwa perusahaan distribusi berharap banyak dari film tersebut.
Beberapa pejabat menyatakan tentang Flight bahwa mereka "mendengar ada kemungkinan film ini akan dimasukkan ke dalam bentuk baru melalui sentuhan akhir," dan bahwa mereka "melihat ke depan untuk bagaimana hal itu akan berubah."
Seorang anggota cast dari film ini juga mengatakan kepada eNews, "Ada yang menyuarakan kekhawatiran tentang film tersebut karena tanggal premier telah ditunda kembali, tapi [kekhawatiran ini] tidak benar. Kekhawatiran mereka mungkin oleh beberapa pejabat yang hanya melihat versi konsep yang diedit. Saya mendengar bahwa tampilan visualnya cukup bagus. "
Perhatian khususnya sepertinya memiliki dasar lebih karena perilisan film itu terus ditunda kembali meskipun telah diadakan konferensi pers di Busan International Film Festival pada bulan Oktober 2011
Para pejabat mengatakan, bagaimanapun, bahwa "konferensi pers harus mengambil tempat pada waktu itu karena jadwal pendaftaran Rain."
Flight: Close to the Sun adalah sebuah film tentang cinta dan persahabatan antara pilot angkatan udara, dan Rain bintang, Shin Se Kyung, Jung Seok Won, Yu Jun Sang dan Kim Sung Soo. Direktur Kim Dong Won, yang memproduksi My Boss, My Hero 2.
