“Parasite,” “Snowpiercer” and “Mickey 17” director Bong Joon Ho‘s classic monster movie “The Host” is getting a theatrical rerelease in 4K with the trailer released today.
Boasting a brand new restoration, the original 2006 film remains one of the most well-regarded monster movies of the century.
The restoration presentation will also include a recorded conversation between Bong Joon Ho and filmmaker Edgar Wright.
Song Kang-ho, Byun Hee-bong, Park Hae-il, Bae Doona, and Go Ah-sung star in the film about a food stand vendor whose daughter is kidnapped by a massive creature dwelling around the Han River in Seoul.
His family help him escape quarantine against an alleged virus derived from the monster and search for his daughter. Costing $11 million to make, the movie made a little under $100 million worldwide and drew rave reviews.
The 4K restoration of “The Host” will open in theaters nationwide on November 20th ahead of a digital release on November 30th.
