Many believe the future of Korean distributor Showbox hinges on the success of this film. A testament to that is the fact that before the credits play on the film, there is a 3 minute extra film extolling the fact that director Shim Hyung-rae has attempted Korea's first Hollywood level blockbuster. Apparently the patriotic 'Arirang' song plays in the background, in an attempt to appeal to Korean nationalism among the audience.

We first reported two weeks ago about the Korean/English summer blockbuster 'D-War'. This big budget monster movie is seven years in the making and has a budget reported to be as high as 70 million. It made a strong showing in Korean theaters on its opening day, taking in US$2.9 million, but the big test is its US debut in September under the name 'Dragon War'.
