The 1930s-set picture, which is set during Korea’s efforts to throw off Japanese colonialism, will be led by a couple of South Korean stars, and hopefully the WB backing means we’ll see it sooner rather than later in the US.

Twitch also notes that the film’s story is rooted in “the history of Organization of Righteous Bravery, a part of the armed independence movement during Korea under Japanese rule,” with other sites saying it “follows the activities of the Heroic Corps, an anti-Japanese independence organization that existed under the Japanese colonial period in South Korea. The group used violent means to achieve Korean independence.”
