Promising a stylish new-wave action film, A Shop For Killers enthuses fans with latest teasers.
Set in modern-day Korea, A Shop For Killers sees college student Jeong Jian diving for cover in her childhood home after a series of highly skilled assassins get her in their sites.
Desperately fighting to survive, Jian will begin to remember invaluable lessons her uncle taught her before his apparent suicide, drawing on them to help her stay alive. Confused and cornered, Jian will have to work fast to uncover her uncle’s hidden past and figure out why so many people are desperate to gain access to the house and the extensive arsenal hidden inside.
Starring Lee Dong Wook (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Tale of the Nine Tailed) as Jeong Jin-man, Jian’s mysterious uncle; and Kim Hye Jun (Connect, Kingdom) as Jeong Jian, a college student on the run from some of the planet’s deadliest assassins, A Shop For Killers is based on the popular original novel by Kang Jiyoung, written by Ji Hojin and Lee Kwon, and directed by Lee Kwon (Door Lock, Save Me 2).
The main poster released features the essence of stylish action that unfolds vividly as if capturing the climax of a tense battle, raising the heart rate of viewers.
The perfect chemistry between the suspicious uncle Lee Dong Wook, who is targeting his enemies with fierce eyes, and the fierce niece Kim Hye Jun, who exudes just as much energy, as well as Seo Hyun Woo (Seongjo), Jo Han Sun (Bale), and Park Ji-bin, who will double the fun of the work with their special narratives.
The text on the poster: “The birth of a new genre! A new wave of stylish action is unfolding,” amplifies interest in the unique genre and spectacular action sequences of A Shop For Killers.
Ji-an’s Deadly Inheritance
Correspondingly, the main trailer released along with the poster previews Ji-an becoming the target of suspicious enemies following the death of her uncle Jin-man.
She received a huge sum of money of 18.753 billion won and the shopping mall run by his uncle as an inheritance. Then, she receives a mysterious murder warning message saying, “So, only Jeong Jin-man is dead? Then you will die today, too, Jeong Ji-an?”
As Jian’s house is attacked by suspicious people armed with cutting-edge weapons, the danger surrounding Jian and the identity of the shopping mall increases.
Ji-an, who is in great confusion and fear after being threatened with survival, recalls the voice of his uncle Jin-man, who left advice as if he had predicted all of this, and engages in a counterattack to confront sniper Seong-jo (Seo Hyun Woo), who is launching a merciless attack.
