'The Moon' starring EXO's D.O., Kim Hee Ae drops new trailer, character posters
MANILA, Philippines — Character posters and a new trailer for "The Moon," starring Kim Hee Ae, EXO member Doh Kyung-soo or D.O. and Sul Kyung-gu, have dropped ahead of its August 16 release.
The film follows Korea’s first manned mission to the moon, which ends in a tragic disaster because of an explosion onboard. The mission is attempted again seven years later with better success, but a strong solar wind causes it to malfunction.
D.O.'s Sun-woo, an astronaut on the mission, is left stranded, so the Naro Space Center seeks help from its former managing flight director Dr. Kim Jae-goo, played by Sul, to avoid another fatal catastrophe.
Kim portrays Yoon Moon-young, the Lunar Getaway main director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
"The Moon," directed by Kim Yong-hwa, is reminiscent of Ridley Scott's "The Martian." The Hollywood film stars Matt Damon as an astronaut abandoned on Mars for a year and a half. — Video from Columbia Pictures Philippines YouTube channel
