Finecut picks up Korean War film starring Megan Fox

South Korean sales company Finecut has picked up international rights to Korean War film Battle Of Jangsari (working title), featuring Megan Fox and K-pop group Shinee member Choi Min-ho.

Directed by Kwak Kyung-taek and Kim Tae-hun, the film also stars Kim Myung-min, and Kim Sung-cheol. It is based on a true story about 772 student soldiers - whose average age was 17 and had only received two weeks of boot camp training - drafted into the Korean War to take part in a diversionary tactic to aid the Incheon landing operation, aka Operation Chromite, which turned the tide of the war.

Fox plays a reporter inspired by women war correspondents such as New York Herald Tribune reporter Margeurite Higgins, who won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on the amphibious invasion of Incheon. 

Backed by Warner Brothers Pictures Korea, the film is produced by Taewon Entertainment and is now in post.
