Into the Gunfire releases first stills

Nice. Take a look at the stills from the upcoming war film Into the Gunfire, which stars Kwon Sang-woo and TOP (Choi Seung-hyun) as student soldiers in the Korean War.

They portray two of 71 young students (hence the film’s original title, 71, back when it starred Kim Bum and Yoo Seung-ho) who took a stand against Northern invaders in a battle that would become a pivotal turning point in the war, which began on June 25, 1950.

In these stills, TOP plays Jang-bum, who with his fellow student soldiers goes out to gather food supplies. The soldiers, along with Gab-jo (Kwon Sang-woo), who is fooling around with a grenade, end up blowing up the grain silo. The large-scale explosion scene was filmed safely without injuries.

Kwon Sang-woo explained that he’d sustained minor injuries from shooting their action scenes in the cold weather and slippery conditions, such as shoots requiring him to run after North Korean soldiers, “but seeing the staff who suffers even more than me gives me encouragement. I’m doing my best.”

TOP said, “Following IRIS, to do a movie on such a large scale is an honor. I’m working hard not to cause this film any problems, staying up all day and night rehearsing and filming.”

Into the Gunfire is scheduled to release in June 2010 in time to commemorate the 60 years that have passed since the war first broke out. Likewise, the Korean War-set drama Road Number 1 (starring So Ji-sub, Yoon Kye-sang, and Kim Haneul) is also planning for a June premiere.

Ok I give Kwon Sang Woo another chance with this film. If he doesn't impress me, then that's it, he will be added to the list of "actors who fail at acting but somehow think that they are good at acting"

In the 2nd picture.. how come TOP seems like the only legit "young student' in the whole "71 young student" theme... are they doing that to hide KSS's older age? Lol

Question:
What is the modern consensus in modern times in South Korea concerning the unification of both North and South?
One of the main themes in the Iris drama was reunification but I guess it was never resolve one way or the other......

Lmao I agree, T.O.P is still a bad ass even in 1950!! Love it!

Plus there's the fact that I'm a bit biased on this subject, considering I'm completely in love with this man...heheh.

I'm excited for this film! <3

to all you VIP fans
i dont think TOP can act, he did ok in I AM SAM
in IRIS, i cringed everything he said, even the engrish, though his character was cold, i didn't like him, he shouldn't even be credited as a main star with the amount of air time he had, and only one cold facial expression
now he gets a movie, i REALLY hope he does well and puts on a performance cos if he cant act, then dont, cos he is wasting room for those who can

my rant is over

well, you don't have to HOPE, because TOP will definitely blow you away with his amazing skills. :)

I don't care if TOP can act or not. He has got a presence and charisma. Dude gives good face! He just needs to sneer a few times. Maybe rub his lips with his thumb a little bit and I'm satisfied. They cant all be Shakespearian.

Alas hot TOP, I wish I knew him well... and intimately.

Oh my baby TOP is onscreen again! Life just got a bit better. TOP is not that horrible of an actor...he just needs a few work here and there. But there are so many worst actors out there, without half of his good looks. Lol. His eyes are enough for me to faint, and I actually don't mind his "gangsta" style. He's just got that sexy, beastly look that makes me forget everything else and just focus on him. Lol, I'm looking forward for this movie, although I hate army/war movies. <3

i think Kwon is a miscast even though he could pass as a 27 year old guy but for a 17 I don't think so......there's a lot of choices from a young actors arena I don't know why the director is trying to fool the viewers by casting a 34 year old popular actor...

Maybe Wonbin would be a better cast or if the director wants a popular guy he can get Minho from BOF...........

I gave up on Kwon Sang Woo long ago. I'm interested in war movies and dramas. Unless the reviews come out good, I won't bother to see this movie.

I heard a lot of praising about TOP but after finish watching IRIS, I didn't think he was that impressive. Perhaps my expection was too high.

I won't be watching this movie unless I hear favorable reviews. Much as I love Big Bang and TOP and I agree he has mucho charisma and sexiness, his acting isn't just there judging from what I saw in IRIS and I can always watch him on MVs or YT clips of BB's upcoming concert if I need a shot of TOP. Plus KSW has only been good in My Tutor Friend. Stairways to Heaven was just a painful experience all around though I admit I get a kick out of Belleza's version of it.

Just from the cast, "Road Number 1" sounds much more interesting.

Where is Cha Seung Won in this movie? I thought he will play a North American officer or is it a South Korean officer? I'd be interested only if he is in this movie!

ehem...
TOP is so good... at acting .... not much as the best but ... he can work a little bit of it and it's the best...

and agree about the gangster look still in him....
hahaha...
well, his uniform makes me wonder how he's slim now...
oh, what a hot guy he is....
and even do KSS is not that 17 yr old looking guy he is still good in this movie i think...
although i'm not a korean girl... i can still differ from a young actor
whom i can't imagine in a war movie and a good actor who may seem not that looking young actor but deserves the role though...

i still like the casting though... TOP.... i love you forever...
