Lee, alongside co-stars Han Chae-young and Kim Tae-woo, will team up with veteran director Lee Jae-kyu for the upcoming film. Lee Jae-kyu has previously helmed the popular television series "Da Mo," and "Beethoven Virus."
The series will be split into three 60-minute segments that will jump forwards and backwards in time over the span of 100 years from 1907 to 2007. Not much is known about the plot but according to the film's production company, the films will focus on themes which deal with the difficut choices people who are at a crossroads make in life and about characters trying to fulfill promises. The film will be penned by "Beethoven Virus" scribe Hong Jin-aah and will premiere online early March.
Hallyu star Lee Byung-hun is set to star in an online mystery film titled "The Influence", according to a press release by the film's producer Realize Pictures on Wednesday. Lee, 39, will play one of the main characters who has to make a choice on his path to fulfilling a promise made many years ago in the film set for release online in early March.
Lee Jae-kyu, who has created several hit TV series including "Damo" and "Beethoven Virus," will be making his directorial debut with "Influence." He will team with screenwriter Hong Jin-ah of "Beethoven" again for the three-part movie based on a time period covering 1907 to 2010.
Lee Byung-hun is considered one of Korea's top actors who has starred in numerous Korean dramas and films, including the recent blockbuster TV series "IRIS" for which he won the award for best actor at the 2009 KBS Acting Awards. He also debuted in Hollywood last year with a supporting role in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" alongside Channing Tatum and Sienna Miller and starred in action thriller "I Come with the Rain" alongside Josh Hartnett and Takuya Kimura.

Lee ByungHun, Choi MinSik for Kim JiWoon's Next?
by X, November 23, 2009 2:01 AM
The last time we talked about Kim Ji-Woon's upcoming projects, it was regarding his first venture into Hollywood, a remake of Claude Sautet's 70s caper Max et Les Ferrailleurs. Hoping to cast Clive Owen and possibly Sienna Miller in the leading roles, Kim wanted his Max and the Junkmen to start shooting in January, as winter was the perfect atmosphere for his noir ambiance. Seems like the film has hit a snag - we still don't have much in the way of the details, but it might just be casting issues delaying the first shoot past that all important Q1 2010 deadline, pushing things to late next year - so Kim is now focusing on his next project at home, which is tentatively entitled 아열대의 밤 (lit. Subtropical Night).
The film continues the recent noir thriller trend, with a man chasing the serial killer-cum-psychopath who killed his fiancee, and plenty of brutal action ensuing afterwards. Choi Min-Shik was cast in the psychopath role, one of the most inspired choices of recent memory - and a return to major projects for Choi, who's had a pretty rough three-four years, and recently returned to Chungmuro with Jeon Soo-Il's low budget indie 히말라야, 바람이 머무는 곳 (Himalaya, Where the Wind Dwells). Also, Lee Byung-Heon has received an offer to play the "chaser" avenging his fiancee's death. His management confirmed the offer, but also said that because of Lee's Hollywood commitments (G.I. Joe 2), Kim would have to adapt his schedule in accordance. So, again, no ink spilled yet, but if these three get together, this baby could turn as hot as its working title suggests. More on this in the coming months.
Top Korean actor, Lee Byung Hun has been appointed campaign spokesperson for Unilever Japan Beauty brand DOVE thanks to his overwhelming presence, strength and the real everyday beauty that shines conveyed by the star of Hollywood GI Joe.

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It’s the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It’s the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
As always, we'll refer to the English updates when and if available later but the gist in the Korean media today mentions that the sequel to GI Joe will start filming next year. As of now, the shooting schedule is yet to be finalized. At least this eases Byunghun-ssi's current schedule as the action-thriller 'I Saw the Devil' currently in post-production for the release in mid-August (tentatively August 12?) while waiting confirmation to be screened at the 67th Venice Film Festival in September.
Hollywood blockbuster 'GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra' which premiered worldwide in August 2009 had showcased a stunning performance by actor Lee Byung Hun as the Cobra Ninja Storm Shadow. Lee is expected to reprise his role in the 2012 sequel with a more significant starring role.
agak2 dh kuar lum arr dvd the Influence?
ismaha Post at 2-7-2010 19:41
Hi ismaha, welcome! Ha'ah.. sambung thread lama.. ada banyak nak share tahun ni, new movies etc. Insya Allah.
Hari tu masa IRIS Concert di Japan (end of May/early June), ada update untuk fans pasal DVD The Influence *coming soon* tapi tak sure sama ada versi international atau Japanese dvdset dulu (tak ada Eng. subs). Tapi movie ni boleh download dulu and HaruSubs dah ada English subs untuk 2 bahagian pertama. Tapi elok jugak kalau ada DVD.. ending hari tu rasa macam tak betul2 habis.. katanya final ending dalam version komik pulak. Pening jugak.. mungkin strategi untuk buat sambungan later2.

The commercials began airing from June 28 in China and July 4 in Japan, and the TV commercials for South-East Asian and Europe and America will begin airing from the beginning of next month.
