March 9th & 23rd: THE KOREAN CULTURAL SERVICE SCREENINGS
Tribeca Cinemas is pleased to announce the Korean Cultural Service screening series. Everyone is remaking Korean movies these days, from the Bollywood version of Oldboy to the Hollywood versions of A Tale of Two Sisters, Il Mare and My Sassy Girl. With this series, we’re celebrating Korean movies that are slated for Hollywood remakes. This Bi-Monthly screening series continues with these great films:

TUESDAY, MARCH 9 @ 7pm
DIE BAD (2000, 98 minutes, New York Premiere)
Late in 2008, Marc Forster signed on to direct a Hollywood remake of DIE BAD. Awesome! A remake by the director of QUANTUM OF SOLACE, MONSTER’S BALL and STRANGER THAN FICTION gives us a chance to show this film which is the first flick from Ryoo Seung-Wan (CITY OF VIOLENCE, CRYING FIST, DACHIMAWA LEE). An amazing action movie shot on the sly for $55,000, DIE BAD is an intense series of jaw-dropping set pieces shot over a long period of time that launched Director Ryu onto the international scene as one of the great modern action filmmakers.

TUESDAY, MARCH 23 @ 7pm
SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE (2002, 129 minutes)
In January, 2010, Warner Brothers picked up the remake rights to SYMPATHY FOR MR. VEGEANCE. It’s being produced by the folks behind GI JOE, TRANSFORMERS and DOOM. Say what?!? Come see the original instead. Directed by Park Chan-Wook (OLDBOY) and starring Song Kang-Ho and Bae Doo-Na (THE HOST) it is one of the most gorgeous, intense and heartbreaking movies about this fallen world in which we live. Not since Clint Eastwood’s UNFORGIVEN has vengeance looked this soul-destroying.

Admission is free, and is based on a first come first serve basis. For questions call 212-759-9550.
