Behind Park Chan-wook's Thirst

A few days back some poster art for Chan-wook Park's first horror film, Thirst, showed up all over the place thanks to someone snapping a pic of it at Cannes, but I've been waiting for even a slightly better looking image of the damn thing. To date, I've had no luck so I guess we'll just have to use the one that's everywhere for now.

Not that a still image is important, cause we're talking about moving pictures here. No, not a trailer (yet), but some behind-the-scenes footage of Park directing and showing off some Thirst storyboards for those newshounds over at CNN. CNN, of all places, was the last site I would expect to have such interest, but that shows what I know, eh?

Click here to check out the video right now. In case you had forgotten, Thirst is the story of a priest from a small town whose experiments with blood turn him into a vampire. Eventually his life of bloodsucking leads him to have an affair with the wife of his childhood friend, who is bored of her mundane life. A struggle for humanity ensues.

Hopefully we'll have word of Thirst's release very soon!
