Return to the living dead! New Trailer for Well Go USA’s ‘Colony’ from ‘Train to Busan’ director Yeon Sang Ho

"Colony" Poster

Visionary filmmaker Yeon Sang Ho (Psychokinesis) – director of the 2016 hit Train to Busan and its follow up Peninsulareturns to the zombie subgenre with Colony, an upcoming thriller that stars Gianna Jun (My Sassy Girl, The Thieves), Koo Kyo-hwan (Escape, Peninsula), Ji Chang-wook (Fabricated City) and Shin Hyun-been (The Ugly).

Colony follows Se-jeong (Gianna Jun), a biotech professor attending a conference that suddenly turns deadly when a fast-mutating virus is released. As the infected begin to change and chaos spreads, the authorities lock down the facility – trapping the survivors inside with a growing, unstoppable threat.

🔥 Footnote: Despite also tackling a zombie outbreak, Colony has no connection – and shares no universe – with Train to Busan or Peninsula. So much for cashing in on brand familiarity, right?

Well Go USA is releasing the film to theaters on August 28th. Don’t miss the New Trailer, followed by the recent ones below:

COF Presents: The Top 10 Fight Scenes on a Bus

When it comes to public transport in action movies, I’ve always felt like the humble bus tends to get shortchanged in favour of the train.

I get it, trains offer plenty of scope for action scenes to play out in, but if done correctly, buses offer up the same potential (if not more) – you’ve got minibuses, double decker buses, open top buses, articulated buses, the list goes on.

So before we miss the stop, here at City on Fire we’ve decided to shine the spotlight on 11 movies that got it right when it comes to bus fights, giving them Continue reading
