Train To Busan Trailer English Sub

[Leto Corrales]

This train can go no further." Well Go USA has debuted an official trailer for the impending release of the epic Korean zombie film Train to Busan, which opens this week in US theaters. The film is one of the most expensive Korean productions to date, with some crazy VFX surrounding a zombie outbreak in Korea. A group of survivors attempt to take the last train from Seoul down to Busan, hoping they can escape the zombies, but of course they run into more problems along the way. The film stars Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi, Ma Dong-seok and Ahn So-hee. I saw this in Cannes and it's fun but not the best zombie movie I've seen. The action is amusing and it reminded me of Snowpiercer, but with zombies and much cheesier. All aboard!

Train to Busan is a harrowing zombie horror-thriller that follows a group of terrified passengers fighting their way through a countrywide viral outbreak while trapped on a suspicion-filled, blood-drenched bullet train ride to Busan, a southern resort city that has managed to hold off the zombie hordes... or so everyone hopes. Train to Busan is both written and directed by up-and-coming Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho, making his live-action debut after a number of animated films previously including The King of Pigs, The Fake and Seoul Station. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this summer and opened in Korea earlier this month. Well Go USA will release Train to Busan in select US theaters starting on July 22nd this month. For more info on the film and release, visit Well Go's website. Who wants to see this film?

You know versions of this iconic line from the Terminator franchise, spoken by humans and robots alike. It's used in the trailer for Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula by a little girl driving a car, promising her would-be passengers salvation from the zombie hordes and post-apocalyptic factions of human suffering after them. This line's recontextualization combined with its context in the trailer should tell you everything you need to know about the semi-sequel's point of view. But you should still watch the rest of the wild trailer yourself.

If you've not seen Train to Busan, the tight and surprisingly emotional zombies on a train masterpiece from South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho, treat yourself. It's about an estranged father and his daughter on a train trip to her mother's that gets invaded by, well, the zombie apocalypse. It's quite the concoction of a genre film, giving us horror set pieces, fleet action, and a lovely character-driven through-line throughout. Now, Yeon is returning to the world he set up in Peninsula -- not to make a direct sequel, but to expand everything.

Based on this trailer, Peninsula looks to be the Aliens to Train to Busan's Alien; the Dawn of the Dead to Night of the Living Dead. Four years after the events of Train to Busan, Jung-seok (Gang Dong-won) leads a group of soldiers on a search and rescue mission to find resources and survivors in the apocalypse-torn South Korea. When they get stuck within a new zombie attack -- not to mention the violent coping mechanisms undergone by the ravaged post-apocalyptic survivors -- all Hell breaks loose. Yeon seems to have widened his scope considerably, staging bonkers looking action set pieces in various different locations, with a much larger set of toys to play with. It looks entertaining, terrifying, surreal, and like a remarkable follow-up to his last film.

It seemed that zombies had, if you'll excuse the pun, been done to death on the big screen in these modern times, with the horror icon seemingly appearing in every other movie causing audiences to gradually become sick and tired of the shuffling, brain-eating monsters. Then 2016's Train to Busan came along, and suddenly everyone remembered how terrifying zombies can be when they're done right. Well, director Yeon Sang-ho is returning to the same zombie-infested world with the upcoming sequel Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula and we now have our first glimpse at what we can expect from the undead sequel.

The trailer promises the same intensely gripping, action-packed survival as its predecessor as we delve deeper into the inner workings of this now post-apocalyptic peninsula. Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula looks to be furthering the zombie subgenre even more so than the first movie as we leave the confines of the train and head out into the big, wide, terrifying new world. The movie looks to be paying homage to the zombie icon George A. Romero, particularly 2005's Land of the Dead and the Mad Max universe. The undead chaos looks to be non-stop as Yeon Sang-ho combines the kind of brutal action and stark imagery that made Train to Busan such a raging success. This may have become this year's most anticipated horror movie.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula picks up four years after South Korea's total decimation in Train to Busan, Jung-seok, a soldier who previously escaped the diseased wasteland, relives the horror when assigned to a covert operation with two simple objectives: retrieve and survive. When his team unexpectedly stumbles upon survivors, their lives will depend on whether the best-or worst-of human nature prevails in the direst of circumstances.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula stars Gang Dong-won as Jeong-seok, Lee Jung-hyun as Min-jeong, Lee Re as Joon-i, Kwon Hae-hyo as Elder Kim, Kim Min-jae as Sergeant first class Hwang, and Koo Kyo-hwan as Captain Seo. Actress Lee Jung-hyun who plays one of the survivors, alongside child actress Lee Re, has said previously that he thinks that child character Joon-i will become "more [popular] than Ma Dong-seok [aka Don Lee] in Train to Busan". Judging by the trailer, it is very possible that the sequel will surpass the first movie in many, many different ways.

The movie will also feature several Train to Busan alumni working on Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, including cinematographer Lee Hyung-deok, visual effects supervisor Jung Hwang-su, and art director Lee Mok-won. The sequel reportedly has a budget that is double that of its small-scale predecessor so expect things to get bigger, louder and much scarier.

It is also very possible, should Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula prove to be as popular as Train to Busan, that this won't be the last time we revisit this zombie-riddled world with director Yeon Sang-ho saying "There could be many stories that could keep coming out of that world."
