What do you do if you’re two Korean filmmakers working together on an adaptation of a French post-apocalyptic graphic novel in the Czech Republic? You grab Captain America as your lead character of course!
According to Variety, Chris Evans is setting down the shield for a moment to star in the indie flick Snow Piercer from The Host helmer Bong Joon-ho.
Joon-ho also wrote the script with Park Chan-wook, director of the original Korean cult classic Oldboy, producing. Snow Piercer also marks Joon-ho’s domestic directorial debut, and he is already drawing the attention of a handful of top-tier Hollywood talent.
The Host and Memories of Murder star Song Kang-ho, who also starred in Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and J.S.A.: Joint Security Area, is set to star.
The French graphic novel follows a group of people on a train without a final destination, struggling to survive after the end of the world brings on a cataclysmic ice age.
