Park Chan-Wook, director of “Old Boy”, talks about newest film

/ / /

One of Korea’s finest directors talked about his latest film, Thirst, to CNN. Unfortunately, he gave away its ending, so you might want to fast forward through the first two minutes of the video.

According to BeyondHollywood, the plot centers on the following:

a man who gets the wrong blood transfusion and becomes a vampire as a result; now he’s thirsty for human blood, which is bad enough, but he ends up falling in love with a woman.

If you’ve seen his older movies, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Old Boy, you might surmise this new one is more Bram Stoker’s Dracula than George Hamilton’s Love at First Bite. After all, Park changed the movie name from Evil Live to its current incarnation, Thirst. The plot also answers a crucial question: would you rather be a blood-sucker or marry one?
