Two new projects

After this emotional period, Bong struggles to get back to work. Bong told The Atlantic in March 2020, “Now that I finally have time, I’m trying to work again, but I’m very tired mentally and physically.”

At that time, the filmmaker was working on two projects at the same time. One in Korean and one in English. During an interview for Variety held last November, Bong announced that his next films would be his previous productions such as Parasite And Mother.

The Korean film is set in Seoul and has elements of horror and action. It is difficult to define the genre of my films. The English Project is a play based on an actual incident that took place in 2016. Of course, I won’t know for sure until the script is over, but half of the film is going to be in the UK and the other half in the United States.
