Leading international and indie film distributor Well Go USA Entertainment has acquired North American rights to brutal action-packed Korean thriller "Project Wolf Hunting", which will have its world premiere on September 16 at the Toronto International Film Festival's "Midnight Madness" category. "Project Wolf Hunting" is the first Korean film to play at TIFF's Midnight Madness section since Bong Joon-ho's The Host in 2006. The film, which will be opening in South Korean theaters on September 21, has been set for an October 7 release in North America.

"We are proud to bring this gritty, grisly and quite highly anticipated action film to fans across North America", said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO at Well Go USA. " "Project Wolf Hunting"'s inclusion in the much sought-after Midnight Madness section is quite a testament to the film's ability to take audiences on a tense and exciting thrill ride".

"Project Wolf Hunting", which is written and directed by Kim Hong-seon ("The Chase", "The Con Artists"), follows a group of dangerous criminals being transported by sea from the Philippines to South Korea. After a coordinated jailbreak attempt escalates into a bloody, all-out riot against the special agents charged with the transport, the fugitives and their allies from the outside unite to exact a brutal terror campaign onboard. The stand-out cast is led by Seo In-guk ("Master's Sun", "Hello Monster"), Jang Dong-yoon ("Search", "Mr. Sunshine"), Jung So-min ("Alchemy of Souls", "My Roommate Is a Gumiho") and Sung Dong-il ("The Cursed", "The Great Battle").

"Well Go keeps distributing various Korean films to North American audiences, and I am thrilled to have found a good partner for "Project Wolf Hunting"", said Youngjoo Suh, CEO at South Korea's Finecut. "I hope the film will amuse U.S. thriller movie fans".

The deal was negotiated by Doris Pfardrescher on behalf of Well Go USA and Youngjoo Suh with Finecut on behalf of the filmmakers.
