Park Chan-wook's latest film, 'No Choice,' which has been invited to the competition section of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival and will open the 30th Busan International Film Festival, has opened for theater pre-sales. The film stars Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin in leading roles.
'No Choice' tells the story of Mansu (played by Lee Byung-hun), a company employee who felt he had achieved everything he wanted in life, only to be suddenly laid off. The film follows his struggle to protect his wife and two children, and to keep the home he worked so hard to acquire, as he prepares for his personal battle to find new employment. With its relatable storyline and an outstanding cast, 'No Choice' has opened for pre-sales today (28th).
Set to release on September 24th, coinciding with Culture Day, 'No Choice' offers a special opportunity for audiences to watch the film for just $1 on opening day when using the government-issued movie discount coupon, which provides a $6 discount. These coupons, aimed at revitalizing the film industry, will be issued again in September and can be used at theaters nationwide.
Releasing just before the October golden holiday, 'No Choice' is anticipated to be a major draw at the box office, thanks to its compelling characters and strong production quality. The film has opened pre-sales four weeks ahead of its release to build momentum for its debut.
Park Chan-wook's intense survival drama 'No Choice' is set to hit theaters on September 24th.
