The new sci-fi film "Seo Bok," starring Gong Yoo and Park Bo-gum, is set to hit theaters in December.
The film's distributor CJ ENM announced the news Wednesday with teaser posters of the two lead actors.
"We haven't pinpointed on the date exactly, as situations like COVID-19 might affect our schedule," the distributor told The Korea Times. "But we are aiming the premiere date for the beginning of December."
The sci-fi action flick is one of this year's long-awaited films as it is the first time the two heartthrob actors have appeared together.
Directed by Lee Yong-ju, known for the award-winning "Architecture 101," the story revolves around terminally ill former intelligence agent Ki-hun (Gong), who encounters genetically mutated human clone Seo Bok (Park), who holds the secret of eternal life.
With many people seeking to obtain that secret, the two are dragged into conflict.
