Bruce Willis is already going to be in two movies this year, why not make it three? After he runs and guns through the cold streets of Mother Russia this month he’ll be getting down and dirty with the Joes in March. Then, later this Summer, he’ll show us that he (and most of the returning cast) is still retired and still extremely dangerous. To get us excited, Summit has released a new poster for the upcoming sequel RED 2. Have a look. Oh, and hope you like red, there’s a lot of it…Enjoy!
In RED 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they’ll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.
RED 2 will be directed by Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) and this sequel has the old gang gang back together. Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker and Helen Mirren will be joined by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Byung-Hun Lee and even Anthony Hopkins. Summit Entertainment has slated RED 2 for wide release this Summer on August 2, 2013.
While the movie version showed Kim Sun Hwa (Kim So Yeon) as the sniper who shot Kim Hyun Jun in the IRIS finale, the drama sequel revealed that it was IRIS sniper played by David McInnis as the killer. Like seriously??!! Didn't the guy die in episode 20 during the shoot-out at the South-North Korean summit ambush scene. [Well.. nothing is shocking anymore in IRIS script and storytelling]

Because of the high amount of viewers, “Gwanghae” is showing up as #10 in the Japanese box office.
In exit reviews of the film, moviegoers have stated, “Instead of Lee Byung Hun playing two characters, it seemed like the characters were completely different people. He showed very talented acting,” “This was my favorite Lee Byung Hun film,” “Although it is a historical drama that has comic and moving scenes, there were a lot of parts that I could relate to,” and “The costumes and different props were very beautiful.”
“Gwanghae” was also created into a Theatre production in South Korea, which will have its first show on February 23.
Actor Jin Goo claims Lee Byeong-Heon won't admit to the nickname 'Little Lee Byeong-Heon'.
Jin Goo starred in the 2003 drama "All In" as the younger Lee Byeong-Heon and earned the title.
He said, "This nickname has been following me around for 10 years now. It's an honorable nickname. It's even better that Lee Byeong-Heon has accomplished so much in the past 10 years. Still, he doesn't admit to my nickname even if we are in the same agency. He monitors me and gives me advice".

by Luke Ryan Baldock The Hollywood News
In this long-delayed, but awesome looking sequel, the G.I. JOE team of elite soldiers are betrayed by fake president Zartan. A band of survivors must joing forces with original general Joe (Bruce Willis) in order to take down Cobra. This Korean trailer and TV Spot give us a lot of stuff we’ve sen before, but the trailer, as you might expect, has added Lee Byung Hun, as he’s kind of a big deal in Korea. The trailer also seems to reveal that the character, whom returns from the dead, may also be changing sides.
G.I. JOE: RETALIATION is set for release 29th March 2013. It stars Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Ray Park, Adrianne Palicki, RZA, Jonathan Pryce, Lee Byung Hun, and Ray Stevenson.

Storm Shadow shines in new G.I. Joe: Retaliation Trailer and TV Spot
Source: GeneralJoes.com
Appearing on YouTube, two more International G.I. Joe: Retaliation promotional items have come to light thanks to Paramount International’s YouTube Channel. One of them being a full trailer, and the other being a shorter TV spot. There is a little bit of new footage in each, mostly focused on Lee Byung-Hun who is a superstar in Asia.
The most highlights are in the full trailer itself, which you can see directly above. The shorter, more compressed TV spot is at the bottom. I love the short added scene of Storm Shadow scraping his sword over the desk during the UN sequence. Pretty cool stuff.

The three most prominent King Gwanghaes in their areas got together for the founding issue of Grazia Korea.
The film Masquerade, which centers around King Gwanghae, rewrote Korean box office history with its 12.3 million audience in 2012. Following the success of the film, a new play based on its story was produced, and is to start performing from February 23.
In the recent photo shoot for Grazia, the three actors got together in a bright mood. Bae Soo Bin and Kim Do Hyun, who have been cast to play Gwanghae and Ha Sun in the play, especially heightened expectations with their tight teamwork.
The two actors said they even grew out their beards for the play, and said, "We′ll work hard to show a Gwanghae different from the one Lee Byung Hun sunbae (senior) put on."
Lee Byung Hun also commented, "I didn′t even watch them practice because I wanted to see a Gwanghae different from my own interpretation."
The new issue of Grazia was released on February 20.
Grazia Special Interview: Lee Byung-hun, I want to be anything
Actor Lee Byung Hun plays the roles that were sometimes zany, sometimes painful, even tinged with madness to continue shaking the hearts of the audience. In Korea, in Hollywood, while usually pursuing stoic acting that conveys a thousand faces, the actor recently played a double role in "The Man Who became King". What else will he dream of?
Outdoor Fashion Brand Nautica (NAUTICA) on February 25 revealed the images of its exclusive star model Lee Byung Hun-Oh Yeon Seo's for the 2013 S / S ad campaign which showcases an even luxurious, modern with eye-catching vibrant fashion.
Together, both actors conveyed a stylish yet youthful and stunning plus fashionable outdoor assemble.
With this new 2013 campaign, global brand Nautica aspires to cater the customers preference after a significant year it was launched in Korea.
