The highly anticipated spy action film, HUMINT, is set to premiere in IMAX on February 11, 2024. Announced by movie distributor NEW on January 27, the film explores the tense conflict between North and South Korean agents investigating criminal activities near the border of Vladivostok.
Directed by Ryoo Seung Wan, HUMINT follows a storyline reminiscent of his previous works, which have also received IMAX releases, including Escape from Mogadishu, Smugglers, and I, the Executioner (also known as Veteran 2). The film features a captivating poster that showcases the three main characters: NIS agent Chief Jo, portrayed by Zo In Sung; North Korean Ministry of State Security section chief Park Geon, played by Park Jeong Min; and North Korean restaurant worker Chae Seon Hwa, brought to life by Shin Sae Kyeong. The characters are depicted in dynamic poses, facing different directions, hinting at the complex relationships within the narrative.
Immerse Yourself in the Action
The film is designed to provide an immersive cinematic experience, placing a strong emphasis on its stunning visuals and sound quality. HUMINT utilizes IMAX DMR® (Digital Media Remastering) technology to enhance both image and audio, ensuring a high-quality viewing experience. The contrasting chilly landscapes of Vladivostok and the film’s intense action sequences are expected to draw viewers deeply into the story.
Christopher J. Tillman, Vice President of International Development and Distribution at IMAX, praised HUMINT, stating, “This powerful film truly shines in IMAX. From the cold skyline of Vladivostok to the breathtaking action, IMAX amplifies every scene, elevating its scale and clarity. Viewers will find themselves deeply immersed in the tension created by unpredictable relationships and explosive action.”
As the release date approaches, audiences are encouraged to revisit some of the previous works of the leading actors. Viewers can catch Zo In Sung in the popular series It’s Okay, That’s Love and explore Park Jeong Min in the film Miracle: Letters to the President.
With its gripping narrative and high-quality production, HUMINT promises to be a significant addition to the action genre. Moviegoers can look forward to experiencing this exciting film in IMAX theaters starting on February 11, 2024.
