Magnolia Pictures has released the trailer for the 4K restoration of Bong Joon Ho’s The Host, which returns to theaters November 21 and 23 with a conversation between Bong Joon Ho and Edgar Wright.
20 years after becoming a worldwide sensation, Bong Joon Ho’s acclaimed creature-feature The Host returns to theaters, newly remastered in 4K and featuring an exclusive conversation with Director Bong Joon Ho and filmmaker Edgar Wright.
The Host follows Gang-du (Song Kang-ho), who works at a food stand on the banks of the Han River. Dozing on the job, he is awakened by his daughter, Hyun-seo (Ko A-sung), who is angry with him for missing a teacher-parent meeting at school. As Gang-du heads to the riverbank with a delivery, he notices a large crowd gathered, taking pictures and talking about something hanging from the Han River Bridge.
The otherwise idyllic landscape suddenly descends into bedlam when a terrifying creature climbs onto the riverbank and begins crushing and devouring people. Gang-du and his daughter run for their lives, but the creature suddenly grabs Hyun-seo and disappears back into the water.
The government announces that the monstrous creature is apparently the Host of an unidentified virus. Having feared the worst, Gang-du is stunned when he receives a phone call from his daughter. She is frightened—but very much alive. Determined to rescue her, Gang-du soon makes plans to infiltrate the forbidden zone near the Han River and save his daughter from the clutches of the horrifying Host.
