After attending the Chunsa Film Festival, JDG once again left for New Zealand and promised to return to Korea at the end of the year.
JDG who received the Hallyu Cultural Grand Award at Chunsa Film Festival last week will start to participate officially in the location shooting of movie “Laundry Warrior” starting from next month. He left for New Zealand on 16th September.
After a few postponements, the movie is finally going to start filming in October. New Zealand which has the exact opposite seasons from the Northern Hemisphere will be having spring in October. After that it will be summer which is just nice and suitable for filming the movie. JDG will be in New Zealand for the next 3 months to fully concentrate on the filming of his first Hollywood movie.
In order to complete this difficult filming project earlier, JDG will miss the Chusok festival. Though the movie will only start filming in October, JDG left half a month earlier for preparatory work. Fans are expected to see JDG back with activities in Korea at the end of the year only.
“Laundry Warrior” is a fantasy-action movie produced by Barrie Osborne, the producer of “Matrix” and “Lords of The Rings”, and directed by Korean director Lee Seung Moo. The movie with a total investment of US$30 million is expected to be released next year.
JDG who is going to play the role of a swordsman will have to speak perfect English lines apart from showing action skills. JDG has been working very hard on the preparation for the movie including English conversation training.
