IT'S A MONSTER MOVIE, BUT A FUNNY MONSTER MOVIE

Bong Jun-Ho (MEMORIES OF MURDER) is directing his latest flick, THE HOST, starring Song Kang-Ho and Bae Doo-Na about a monster that lives in the Han River. Stills have been popping up on the internet already and they look beyond sinister. But according to some folks who know the director, he's aiming to create a black comedy, not a straight up horror film. Which is good news for fans of his previous black comedy, BARKING DOGS NEVER BITE.
