We present a new world of hard-boiled survival action!

As the movie <Wolf Hunt> is a survival action movie, you can feel the tension of the hard-boiled action itself throughout the running time. Because all the characters are running towards only one goal, whether to die or be killed, you can see the raw action of the actors on the screen.

The action of <Wolf Hunt> focused on 'realism' above all else. As an extreme survival game unfolds between the criminals who dream of rebellion and the detective team who want to stop it, both the staff and actors tried to realize the raw action as it is. In response, Seo In-guk and Jang Dong-yoon also prepared thoroughly, such as increasing their weight through various training sessions to digest more realistic action. In addition, the action featuring knives and firearms and various tools in the convoy as weapons adds intensity to the ruthless action unique to <Wolf Hunt>, further raising expectations for real action that goes beyond the limits of hard-boiled.

In particular, the high-difficulty elevator action scene, as well as the action on the actual ship inside the ship, is expected to provide a thrilling genre pleasure with scenes completed through thorough preparation. These scenes, which were completed through the combination of camera angles and lighting as well as numerous actions by the actors, make use of the narrow space to make extreme situations more realistic, raising expectations for the birth of intense action scenes that have not been seen before in Korean movies.

As such, the action unique to <Wolf Hunt>, which was born after the hard work of the actors and production crew, shows the instinctive survival game that takes place in a moving prison as it is, and perfectly showcases 'hyper reality action' on the screen.

[ PRODUCTION NOTE ]

Perfect implementation of an intense prison in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
Frontier Titan more realistic than real!

The production team of the movie <Wolf Hunt> had to boldly challenge extreme production to perfectly realize the frontier Titan, which is the background of the film that unfolds an extreme survival game.

First, in order to complete the Frontier Titan, where all the characters in the movie board, the production team produced a special set. It is not just a set of ships that actors can put their bodies in, but to emphasize realism, a real passenger ship and a bulk carrier were obtained and connected to the set to homogenize them. Director Kim Hong-seon and the production team, who worked on imaging the ship while watching documentaries and materials related to merchant ships, searched around the country for several months to find a ship that fit the concept of the movie, and eventually found the perfect ship and succeeded in recruiting. The Frontier Titan, which was born through this process, gave the film perfect reality so much that it was hard to believe that it was a real ship.

The production crew's tremendous efforts have been put into the interior of the 'Prison on the Sea' Frontier Titan, which was born in this way. First of all, the production team thought about what design to implement because it required a great challenge to shoot an action scene inside a ship in a small space. To this end, it was necessary to secure the safety of the actors as a top priority while adding delicate and high-level devices, so after close meetings with all production teams, including the special effects team, filming team, art team, and lighting team, camera walking, action sum of actors, and story progressed. We prepared fiercely to ensure that everything in the main space fits perfectly. As a result, after a lot of trial and error, we were able to create the Frontier Titan, which was perfectly suited for filming.

The film <Wolf Hunt> created a new space of overwhelming scale through the collaboration of the director and production team in order to bring out the realism of the frontier Titan, which is the background of the entire film. You can check out the extreme real survival game that takes place inside the frontier Titan, which is more real than real, in the theater.
