The film 'Land of Happiness', which deals with the 1979 presidential assassination trial, has released a production video that raises expectations of the film's perfection.

'Land of Happiness' is a film about Park Tae-joo, who was implicated in the assassination of the president on October 26, 1979 by order of his superiors, and Jeong In-hoo, a lawyer who entered Korea's worst political trial as his defense attorney.

The production video says, "'Land of Happiness' is the story of the October 26th Incident and the December 12th Incident, which took place in 1979", "It is the story of a lawyer who does his best to save a person who was inevitably caught up in a huge incident that shook modern history", It begins with an explanation from director Choo Chang-min and the actors, saying, “There is emotion and spectacular tension,” adding to curiosity. In this video, you can see the character introduction as well as the casting behind the scenes. Jo Jung-seok, who said, "I wanted to play this character as soon as I read the script," raised curiosity about the character by revealing that his character, Jeong In-hoo, a leading dog fighting lawyer in the courtroom, is a person who "places the standard on winning and losing rather than the importance of right and wrong." .

Lee Seon-kyun, who played Park Tae-joo, the assistant secretary to the head of the intelligence department who was involved in the incident by order, introduced the character as "a very upright and honest person." Director Choo Chang-min added, "I remember many staff members cheering when I put on the makeup. I think I did the character over 200%." Yoo Jae-myeong, who plays the role of Jeon Sang-doo, the head of the joint venture, who was introduced as "the person in power at the time and the person who caused the incident," reveals an overwhelming visual from the moment he appears, as did director Choo Chang-min's wish, who said, "I want a powerful actor to play the role."

In addition, Jo Jung-seok, Lee Seon-kyun, and Yoo Jae-myeong said about director Choo Chang-min, who took over the megaphone, "I learned a lot as the captain leading the movie," "He guided me very meticulously," and "I appreciate the energy he focuses on making the best cut at every moment." “I was very surprised,” he said, adding to the curiosity.

The production video also contains a story about the trial scene, which is the highlight of 'Land of Happiness'. Director Choo Chang-min, who said, "The court scene was what I was determined to execute well," referred to documentaries to express the dignity of a military court, and filmed everything, including the location of the defense team, the location of the audience, and the number of defendants. In addition, information about the reception room at the Army Prison is introduced, adding to the richness. This is a place that actually existed, but as it is a space where no data currently remains, there were limitations to creating it using only imagination. Director Choo Chang-min looked at spaces such as the hallways of the old military hospital in Gwangju and decided that a lot of the feel of the era in the movie remained, so he completed the reception room by supplementing spaces such as iron bars and hallways with that as the background and proceeded with filming. Director Choo Chang-min's words, "I was very satisfied after hearing that it was completed" make people look forward to the visuals that will unfold on the screen.

‘Land of Happiness’ is scheduled to be released on August 14th.
