JEON Do-yeon 전도연 | 全度妍 is set to star in noir thriller A Bastard 무뢰한, the new film by director OH Seung-wook 오승욱.
Jeon stars as the girlfriend of a man suspected of committing murder. During the investigation, she falls in love with the detective in charge of the case, played by KIM Nam-gil 김남길.
Kim's role originally went to LEE Jeong-jae 이정재 | 李政宰, but Lee had to drop out after suffering an injury on the set of CHOI Ho 최호's The Big Match 빅매치.
The co-writer of Green Fish 초록물고기 (1997) and Christmas in August ８ 월의 크리스마스 (1998), this is Oh's first film as director since making his directorial debut more than ten years ago with Killimanjaro 킬리만자로 (2000).
Produced by Sanai Pictures 사나이픽처스, the film is expected to begin production after Jeon (pictured with fellow juror Willem DAFOE) returns from serving on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.
CJ Entertainment Inc ＣＪ엔터테인먼트 is selling the film at the Cannes market. (source)
