Japanese Actor Jo Odagiri to Star in ‘Sad Dream’

Share |



Award-winning director Kim Ki-duk chose Japanese actor Jo Odagiri and Korean actress Lee Na-young for his 15th movie ``Bimong (Sad Dream).''

``Bimong,'' produced by Kim Ki-duk Film and Sponge Ent, is about two people who are connected by dreams. Jin (played by Jo Odagiri) is a guy who dreams because he cannot forget his ex-girlfriend. Ran (Lee Na-young) sleepwalks in accordance with Jin's dream. They meet at a traffic accident scene where Ran behaves consistently with Jin's dream.

Kim is known for his distinctive experimental cinematic works. He received Best Director awards in 2004 at two film festivals, for two of his films. At the Berlin International Film Festival, he won an award for ``Samaria'' (2004) while at the Venice Film Festival he took one for ``3-Iron'' (2004). However, some of his movies are controversial due to their depiction of the abuse of women and animal cruelty.



Odagiri, 31, is a Japanese actor who studied acting in California State University. Debuting in the drama ``Kamen Rider Kuuga'' (2000), Odagiri made a name for himself as a star in Korea through the movie ``House of Himiko'' (2005) and ``Tokyo Tower'' (2007).

Prominent actress Lee, 28, is said to have brought a new look to the Korean film industry. She won the Best Actress award at the 25th Blue Dragon Film Awards for her role in ``Someone Special'' (2004). Her last appearance was in the movie ``Maundy Thursday'' (2006). Lee played the character of a suicidal young woman who regularly visits a convicted murderer awaiting execution.

The movie started filming Jan. 4 in Seoul and is to be completed by the end of this month. The director, Kim, is famous for his low budget films and short shooting periods. It will be released in May.
