The much-anticipated film "Wonderland" is finally getting its premiere in June after a long delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The film's distributor, Acemaker Movieworks, announced that it will hit local theaters on June 5, unveiling a trailer and still photos of the cast members.

The sci-fi drama film revolves around a virtual platform service called Wonderland, which creates a virtual version of a deceased person through artificial intelligence. The story follows a group of people using the service to reunite with their late loved ones and communicate with them through video calls.

Led by director Kim Tae-yong, whose previous work includes romance films "All for Love" (2005) and "Late Autumn" (2010), the film created a huge buzz with its stellar cast members, including Bae Suzy, Park Bo-gum, Tang Wei, Choi Woo-shik, Jung Yu-mi and Gong Yoo.

Bae and Park will play a young couple who use the service when Park's character falls into a coma. Tang and Gong will play a married couple in their 40s and Jung and Choi will play the coordinators of the service.

The movie finished filming four years ago in 2020 and was scheduled to roll out the following year, but was indefinitely delayed for release due to the pandemic and its aftereffects on theaters.

Tang and Park shared a glimpse of the film during the ceremony of the Blue Dragon Film Awards last November, while presenting an award.

"What I'm looking forward to in 'Wonderland' is the love story between Bae and Park," Tang said. "I think Park will gain even more female fans after the movie is released."

Park also added: "'Wonderland' is at last ready to meet the audience. It's a film that makes you contemplate precious values."
