"No Tears for the Dead" is coming soon to Korean theatres, a film that looks to be running in a very similar vein to Lee's previous blockbuster: "The Man From Nowhere". Lee's 2010 hit become the highest grossing Korean film of its year, attracting over 6 million filmgoers and enjoyed an undisturbed five week run as the country's number one. The film's success was unashamedly boosted by the presence of one of Korea's most popular stars Won Bin, but it also acted as a catalyst for the career of his talented co-star, the young actresses Kim Sae-ron, and publically proclaimed Lee's own storytelling skills and made his name one to remember...Enjoy!
