I am just all kinds of excited for Chan-Wook Park’s new flick THIRST. A vampire movie from one of the greatest directors working today? Yes please. Even though they’re quite popular nowadays (I suppose they’re always in vogue..), the recent vampires of t.v. and movies have been pretty lame. I’ve got a funny feeling Park’s vampiric priest is going to make us remember how goddamn compelling the bloodsuckers can be.
Here is a new poster for the film, which is a little tamer than the banned one we showed you last month (check it out HERE). In addition, I’ve snagged some new images, which you can peep below. THIRST will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month, and hopefully after that we’ll learn of when it’s branching out into the world. I tell ya, I’m f*ckin’ looking forward to it.
A beloved and devoted priest from a small town volunteers for a medical experiment which fails and turns him into a vampire. Physical and psychological changes lead to his affair with a wife of his childhood friend who is repressed and tired of her mundane life. The one-time priest falls deeper in despair and depravity. As things turns for worse, he struggles to maintain whats left of his humanity.
