"Train to Busan" Director Yeon Sang-ho and Alfonso Cuarón Reunite for Netflix Thriller "Revelations"

Korean multi-talent Yeon Sang-ho is getting back in business with Netflix for his next project alongside Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón.

Yeon has been tapped to direct a film adaptation of his popular Korean webtoon, "Revelations", with Cuarón onboard to executive produce and consult on the project.

Yeon first became a familiar name to international film buffs in 2016 with his breakthrough zombie blockbuster "Train to Busan". He’s since directed three projects for Netflix, the sci-fi feature "Jung_E" and the hit high-concept series "Hellbound" and "Parasyte: The Grey". A second season of "Hellbound" is currently in the works.

Yeon shared his excitement over the partnership, saying: “Alfonso Cuarón, known for masterpieces like Children of Men and Gravity, has greatly influenced my work as a director. I am thrilled at this opportunity to collaborate with him on shaping Revelations, and I have high expectations for our partnership,”

Cuarón’s next project as a director — his first since the Oscar-nominated Roma for Netflix — is "Disclaimer", a big-budget psychological thriller miniseries starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, backed by Apple TV+.

"Revelations" reunites Yeon with screenwriter Choi Gyu-seok, who scripted "Hellbound" and collaborates with the director on his webcomics.

It centers on a missing persons case and follows a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs. Korean star Ryu Jun-yeol (The 8 Show, The King, Alienoid) portrays Min-chan, the pastor of a small church in a provincial town. When a man named Yang-rae visits his church, Min-chan receives a divine revelation identifying him as the culprit who abducted his son, and he sets forth to pursue justice. Alternating between sincere faith and cruel reality, Min-chan becomes consumed by his quest for retribution. Popular actress Shin Hyun-been (Hospital Playlist, Reborn Rich) plays detective Yeon-hee, who is on the trail of Yang-rae, a suspect in the missing-person case — as well as the suspicious pastor Min-chan. Yeon-hee is constantly haunted by visions of her sister, who died due to a heinous crime.

The pic is produced by Wow Point, a global production company that makes original content in Korea, Japan and the U.S. Recent projects include the Netflix series "The Bequeathed", a Korean mystery thriller, and "Parasyte: The Grey", which is an adaptation of the legendary Japanese manga "Parasyte".
