KINO ACQUIRES PRESIDENT'S LAST BANG

Kino picks up THE PRESIDENT'S LAST BANGKino, which has had some tough luck with some of its Asian releases, has picked up THE PRESIDENT'S LAST BANG. Re-edited by court order in Korea, it tells the true story of the assassination of President Park by his chief of intelligence, Kim Jae-Gyu, and it's been generating controversy wherever it goes.

With a filthy dirty title (come on, what kind of "bang" do you think they're talking about?) and impeccable tech credits (it's directed by Im Sang-Soo of A GOOD LAWYER'S WIFE) and acting (Kim is played by SAVE THE GREEN PLANET's industrialist, Baek Yoon-Shik) Kino may have a cross-over hit on its hands. Americans seem to love period Asian films that teach 'em a little something about another country, and you can't get much better than PRESIDENT's.
