It was revealed that Yeon Sang-ho is set to collaborate with Netflix again, this time by helming an adaptation of his own Korean webtoon, “Revelations”.

As reported on THR, the upcoming project has also attracted the attention of Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuaron, who will executive produce the project.

Yeon recently released a statement regarding Cuaron’s involvement in the project, saying, “Alfonso Cuarón, known for masterpieces like Children of Men and Gravity, has greatly influenced my work as a director. I am thrilled at this opportunity to collaborate with him on shaping Revelations, and I have high expectations for our partnership.”

“Revelations”, which will reunite Yeon with “Hellbound” screenwriter, Choi Gyu-seok, follows a pastor and a detective, each driven by their own beliefs, as they investigate a missing persons case.

The project has already cast Ryu Jun-yeol and Shin Hyun-been as the pastor and detective, respectively.

South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho is following Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho’s lead by procuring his first major studio film.

The “Train to Busan” director will be helming and penning the movie “35th Street” for Tristar Pictures, with the project to be produced by WOW POINT and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way.

This will be his very first English-language project and has been described being an action-horror flick.

Yeon made a name for himself in the movie business with the success of his thriller, “Train to Busan”, which made USD 98 million worldwide.

The success spawned the sequel “Peninsula”, though it did not create similar success as to its predecessor.

His other works include the 2018 movie, “Psychokinesis” starring Ryu Seung-ryeong, and the 2023 film “Jung_E”, a sci-fi flick starring Kang Soo-yeon and Kim Hyun-joo. His last project was the 2024 TV series, “Parasyte: The Grey”, which was also produced by WOW POINT.
