“The world has come to an end. The world calls upon the hunter.” Netflix has launched a teaser trailer for a Korean post-apocalyptic action movie called Badland Hunters, arriving for streaming (worldwide) later in January. “Ready, Set, Hunt.” This looks badass! Years after Seoul turns into an apocalyptic wasteland, a tough huntsman takes matters into his own hands when a teenager he’s close to is abducted by a mad doctor who conducts experiments on humans. Nam San battles formidable foes in the wilderness with an array of weapons, from bare fists to rifles, with the intense action choreography that is a hallmark of Director Heo Myeong-haeng’s stunt work. Don Lee (Ma Dong-seok – Korea’s “Dwayne Johnson” seen in Train to Busan, The Outlaws, The Eternals) stars as Nam San, with Lee Hee Jun, plus Lee Jun-young as his trusted partner, Choi ji-wan. Looks gnarly! Another film for Don Lee to punch everything, including a big alligator.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Heo Myeong-haeng’s Badland Hunters, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:
The story unfolds after an earthquake transforms Seoul into an apocalyptic wasteland. Don Lee assumes the role of Nam-san, a relentless wasteland hunter. In Badland Hunters, viewers will be transported into a desolate yet captivating landscape, where survival is a luxury and alliances are as unstable as the ruined world they inhabit. The film’s visuals will showcase a world torn asunder, with sprawling desolations and the raw brutality of nature. Badland Hunters, also known as 황야 or Hwang-ya in Korean, is directed by Korean stuntman / filmmaker Heo Myeong-haeng, a stunt coordinator making his directorial debut with The Roundup: Punishment (still finishing up) along with this new Netflix film. The screenplay is written by Kim Bo-tong and Kwak Jae-min. Produced by Byun Seung-min. Netflix will debut Korea’s Badland Hunters streaming on Netflix worldwide starting on January 26th, 2024 this month. Looking good? Who’s down?
