Park’s latest film follows a group of young assassins affiliated with the organization “Tristes Tropiques,” trained by the tropical rainforest’s absolute ruler called “Master.” As they grapple with distrust, they vow to exact bloody revenge.

The film is set to begin shooting in Thailand in September and is expected to wrap by December.

Finecut added that Tristes Tropiques will feature a multi-national cast.

Park started his career as a writer, penning Ryoo Seung-wan’s The Unjust (2010) and winning the Best Screenplay award for his work on the film at the 15th Fantasia International Film Festival. Park also wrote the screenplay for Kim Jee-woon’s I Saw The Devil (2010).

Park made his debut feature The Showdown in 2010 and followed up with hit film New World (2013), which starred Lee Jung-jae. He also directed Night in Paradise (2021), which was invited to the Venice Film Festival’s Out of Competition section.

Tristes Tropiques is produced by director Park’s own production company, Gold Moon Film, and co-produced by Mindmark, a content studio owned by the Shinsegae Group, whose recent slate includes A Normal Family, Victory, Love Reset and Honey Sweet.
