The very first images have made their way online for the new Korean creature feature entitled Sector 7, aka Mining Area 7 or Je Chil Gwanggu for you purists out there. Don’t get too excited though … there’s no monster action to be found. Yet.

Sector 7, which will be shot in 3D, follows the events surrounding what happens when a mutated deep sea creature runs amok in an oil rig. Though horrific, it can’t possibly be worse than what we had going on here in the Gulf for god’s sake.

Award-winning actress Ha Ji-won is slated to star for new director Kim Ji-hoon. Look for more on this one as soon as it comes.

Synopsis
An underwater oil field located south of Jeju Island, where Hae-jun is working as a marine equipment manager on an oil prospecting ship called Eclipse. Joining the crew later is Jeong-man, a former colleague of Hae-jun’s father, assigned to Eclipse as captain. Though his job is to oversee the withdrawal of the ship, he suggests conducting some drilling one last time. After 3 weeks of preparation, Hae-jun takes new recruit underwater, but he sinks to the bottom of the sea when his equipment fails. Shortly after crew members begin to turn up dead, one by one, their bodies viciously mutilated. What the few survivors soon discover is a transparent underwater creature they encountered once before. The viral monster infiltrated the ship through the drilling pipe and has been feeding on the crew to survive. For Hae-jun and his colleagues, a fight for their lives begins.
