The Thieves releases introductory trailer
by javabeans
Here’s the trailer for The Thieves, which may be the movie I’m most looking forward to right now, because despite its less-than-original plot (a diamond heist that’s basically Ocean’s Eleven in Macau), it’s got a killer cast, a skilled director (Jeon Woo Chi, Tazza), and looks snazzy and fun to boot.
I’ll never assume a project is awesome just because it’s got a fantastic cast, but you can hardly thumb your nose at this one: Lee Jung-jae (The Housemaid), Kim Hye-soo (Villain & Widow), Jeon Ji-hyun (Blood: The Last Vampire), Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser), Kim Soo-hyun (The Moon that Embraces the Sun), Oh Dal-soo (Detective K), Kim Hae-sook (Thousand Day Promise).
The poster above reads, “Ten thieves. One diamond. They’re on the move.”
With so many characters, the teaser is basically a brief intro to each one. The ten teammates scheme to steal a diamond from a casino in Macau and operate using nicknames, so we’ve got characters like shrewd mastermind Popeye (Lee Jung-jae), legendary safecracker Pepsi (Kim Hye-soo), tightrope-walking Anycall (Jeon Ji-hyun), gum-snapping Chewing Gum (Kim Hae-sook, who poses as a mother-daughter pair with Jeon), “cowardly gunman” Andrew (Oh Dal-soo), and romanticist rookie Zampano (Kim Soo-hyun).
Then there are the Chinese contacts: leader Chen (Simon Yam), Johnny (Derek Tsang), and Julie (Angelica Lee). At the end of the trailer, Jeon Ji-hyun’s on the phone call with a guy who asks, “Whatcha doin’?” She replies, “Stealing.”
The Thieves releases in July.

Jun Ji Hyun is sooo freaking hot. I can never be amazed at how sexy she can be LOL (and i'm a girl)
I love that two of my favorite men...Lee Jung Jae and Simon Yam are in it. Looks great based on appearance.

This looks exciting! like an Asian-ized Ocean's movie! I've always wanted to watch something like this in Korean to be honest.

I DIDN'T KNOW KIM SOO-HYUN WAS IN THIS. (And Lee Jung-jae AND Jeon Ji-hyun...hoy.) This is automatically AT THE TOP of my to-watch list. July could not get here faster!

I loved Ocean's Eleven but this story is doing at least one thing better solely because there are multiple women in the movie who are actually part of the heist in a significant way (stealing or being stolen from) and not just someone's girlfriend/wife/lover/etc.
That said, I adore capers so so much. And that cast looks amazing. So excited!

So agree!! all the oceans films are boys movies and just love the fact that women are an integral part of this team. Should be a great movie.

Spot on comment, that's actually the first thing I noticed as well! And at least one of the ladies is an older woman, not just another eyecandy sexpot (not that its bad to be an eyecandy sexpot, just that it is a little unexpected in this kind of movie). Yay, Korea!

I believe it will be a good summer movie: Air conditioning, popcorn and ice cream. Turn off the phones and switch off the lights.

IF you're in Korea, that is. If you're outside, like most of us, you'll have to wait...wait...and maybe (oh, maybe) this will come to warm us right for the winter holidays.
*grabs the popcorn anyway*

I'll give them credit: most heist movies have one token female character and/or one girlfriend character. This one has at least three females. It's kind of a record.

Kim Soo-hyun looks HOT! I did not know he got a killer body under those clothing. I thought he looks like a skinny teenager with such a small face. WOW! Gotta check out those manly muscular arm. He's a noona killer.
