Your support makes all the difference.A first teaser has been released for Peninsula, the sequel to the zombie film Train to Busan – and it looks terrifying.
The sequel, the full title of which is Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, takes place four years after the events depicted in the 2016 Train to Busan.
In the original film, a father and his daughter tried to survive aboard a train while an epidemic decimated South Korea by turning its residents into zombies.
This time around, "Jung-seok, a soldier who previously escaped the diseased wasteland, relives the horror when assigned to a covert operation with two simple objectives: retrieve and survive,” reads the description of the film released Well Go USA Entertainment, its distributor.
“When his team unexpectedly stumbles upon survivors, their lives will depend on whether the best – or worst – of human nature prevails in the direst of circumstances,” the synopsis continues.
Both Peninsula and Train to Busan are directed by South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho.
Train to Busan premiered worldwide in 2016 at the Cannes Film Festival.
It went on to earn more than $92m globally.
A released date hasn’t yet been specified for the US or the UK, but Well Go USA Entertainment says it’s “coming soon”.
