Upcoming blockbuster saeguk movie "Pirates" released the first set of stills from the filming.
"Pirates" stars Kim Nam Gil, Son Ye Jin, Yoo Hae Jin, Lee Kyuong Young, Kim Tae Woo, Park Chul Min, f(x)'s Sulli, and recent stills reveal the cast in their intricate costumes for the movie. Kim Nam Gil shows off his rogue masculine charm as he prepares to shoot an arrow, while Son Ye Jin grabs attention with her interesting persona as a pirate leader, which is a contrast to her style of romance and comedy.
f(x)'s Sulli made her fans look forward to her usual eye smile as the adorable pirate Heuk Myo, while Yoo Hae Jin acts as the comic relief Chul Bong. Lee Kyung Young is seen in a typical villian's outfit, and Oh Dal Soo shines despite being captured and battered in the still photos.
The movie is set in the Joseon era, and it features the story of the mountain bandit leader Jang Sa Jung (Kim Nam Gil) who joins female pirate captain Yeo Wol (Son Ye Jin) to capture a ghost whale that swallowed Joseon's Royal Stamp. Dubbed as the Korean version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" because of its high budget production of 10 billion won or 8.9 US dollars, it is directed by Lee Suk Hoon and produced by Harimao Pictures.
"Pirates" is expected to premiere in early 2014.
