‘Squid Game’ maker Hwang Dong-hyuk teases new project

Filmmaker Hwang Dong-hyuk teased that the forthcoming film will be “more violent” than ‘Squid Game’.

Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who shot to global fame with the hit Korean language series ‘Squid Game’, says he is working on a feature film project ‘Killing Old People Club’.

The new movie, whose working title is ‘K.O. Club’, is inspired by a novel penned by Umberto Eco, the late Italian author, and philosopher.

Hwang was speaking during a session at the MipTV Cannes trade fair along with his producer Jun-Young Jang at February Films, PTI reported from Mumbai.

The director, also known for Korean films like ‘Silenced’ and Miss Granny’, teased the forthcoming film will be “more violent than ‘Squid Game’”.

Survival drama ‘Squid Game’, which was released in September 2021 on Netflix, revolves around hundreds of cash-strapped contestants who accept an invitation to compete in a series of Korean children’s games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly. The show went to become one of the biggest hits for Netflix.

The director has now shared that he has already penned a 25-page treatment about the project, which is bound to be “another controversial” project, he added.

“It will be more violent than ‘Squid Game’,” teased Hwang, adding that he might have to hide from old people after the film comes out.

The director further said he will now return to native South Korea to write the second season of ‘Squid Game’ and hopes to have the show streamed by the end of 2024.
