The new film Dark Nuns, produced by the film company Jib, known for titles such as The Priests, The Day of National Bankruptcy, Master, and #Alive, is generating excitement with the fresh pairing of Song Hye-kyo and Jeon Yeo-bin. The movie is set to be released on January 24, 2025 (Friday), and the overseas poster has been unveiled.
Directed by Kwon Hyuk-jae and distributed by NEW, Dark Nuns tells the story of individuals who embark on a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. This film is a sequel to The Priests, which premiered in 2015 and opened a new chapter in Korean occult cinema, attracting 5.44 million viewers.
Song Hye-kyo, acclaimed for her intense performance in the globally popular series The Glory, takes on the role of Sister Unia, who prepares for the ritual by any means necessary to save the boy. Jeon Yeo-bin, known for her wide-ranging character roles in dramas like Vincenzo and My Name, as well as films like The Spider’s Nest and Night in Paradise, plays Sister Michaela, who decides to become a black nun to assist Unia.
With Song Hye-kyo dominating the screen as the bold and courageous Sister Unia and Jeon Yeo-bin radiating a unique charm as the curious and skeptical Sister Michaela, the new transformations and acting synergy of the two actresses promise to deliver an unforgettable intensity to the audience. Additionally, Lee Jin-wook, who is set to join the cast of Squid Game Season 2, plays Father Paolo, a psychiatrist who does not believe in the existence of demons, while Moon Woo-jin, who has gained attention from the drama Deserted Island Diva and the film Hijacking, portrays the boy Hee-jun, further heightening the intrigue.
The overseas poster of Dark Nuns, which attracted significant attention from buyers at the 2024 Asia Content & Film Market, depicts the intense tension between Sister Unia and Sister Michaela as they head somewhere with the tormented boy due to the evil spirit. The poster captures the two nuns, driven solely by their strong will to save the boy, as they embark on a forbidden ritual into unpredictable danger. Revealing the first glimpse of Dark Nuns, this film is poised to open the year 2025 with the most powerful cinematic experience, promising an expanded worldview and dramatic entertainment for audiences.
With an exciting combination of actors undergoing transformations, fresh themes, and unpredictable developments, Dark Nuns is scheduled to hit theaters on January 24, 2025, offering a high level of immersion.
