Yeon Sang-ho, who is best known for directing 2016’s Train To Busan, has reunited with Netflix for the feature film adaptation of his comic book Revelations. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron has boarded Yeon's film as an executive producer. Yeon is also joining hands again with screenwriter Choi Gyu-seok who has previously scripted Hellbound.
This is the third time Yeon Sang-ho has teamed up with Netflix. Previously, they have worked on the sci-fi feature Jung_E and the hit high-concept series Hellbound and Parasyte: The Grey. A second season of Hellbound is currently in the works.
Revelations follows a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs. The pastor believes it’s his divine calling to punish the culprit behind a missing-person case, while the detective assigned to the case continues to be haunted by visions of her dead sister.
Korean star Ryu Jun-yeol portrays Min-chan, the pastor while popular actress Shin Hyun-been plays detective Yeon-hee.
The film is produced by Wow Point, whose recent projects include the Netflix series The Bequeathed and Parasyte: The Grey, which is an adaptation of the legendary Japanese manga Parasyte. The company is also working with Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way to back Yeon Sang-ho's first English-language horror film 35th Street.
