PTI
Last Updated:
Seoul, Aug 5 (PTI) Acclaimed South Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong is returning to the director's chair after eight years with 'Possible Love", a new movie from streaming service Netflix.
The film, which is Lee's first project since 2018's 'Burning", follows the lives of two married couples living starkly contrasting lives.
As the couples' worlds begin to collide, the drama explores themes of love, conflict and the quiet unravelling of ordinary existence, Netflix stated in a press release.
The movie will feature an ensemble of some of South Korea's most celebrated actors — Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Zo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jeong of 'Parasite" fame.
Jeon will play Mi-ok, opposite Sul as her husband Ho-seok. The second couple – Sang-woo and Ye-ji – will be portrayed by Zo and Cho, respectively.
The project reunites Lee with screenplay writer Oh Jung-mi, with whom he collaborated on 'Burning".
The film is being produced by Pinehouse Film, alongside Anonymous Content and NOWFILM Co Ltd, and will be distributed by Netflix.
Lee has carved a unique niche in world cinema with internationally acclaimed films such as 'Green Fish" (1997), 'Oasis" (2002), and 'Poetry" (2010).
He won the Silver Lion for best direction at Venice Film Festival for 'Oasis" and a best screenplay award at Cannes for 'Poetry". Lee's last film, 'Burning", won the International Critics' Prize at Cannes in 2018. PTI SMR RB RB

Anupam Kher is unbothered by Saiyaara demolishing his film Tanvi The Great at box office: ‘Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota…'
Actor Anupam Kher's directorial Tanvi The Great released in theatres on the same day as Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara. While Saiyaara became a massive commercial success, raking in ₹500 crore worldwide, Anupam's film earned only ₹2.52 crore. Now, in an interview with News18, Anupam said that he's unbothered by Tanvi: The Great's box office performance, as films are about emotions and not earnings. Anupam Kher reacts to Tanvi The Great failing at box office due to Saiyaara's craze. Anupam Kher on Tanvi The Great the box office failure When asked if he thinks Saiyaara's craze led to Tanvi The Great failing at the box office, Anupam said, "I don't believe that's true. A few years down the line, when someone will ask you what are your five favourite films, you won't name the ones based on which of these movies made a business worth crores. You'll name the ones which touched your hearts. Maybe Tanvi The Great didn't mint much money, but it is still priceless." The actor further explained how money is not everything and said, "I recently met a lady outside the theatre who hugged me tightly and started crying, saying this was the best film she has ever watched. You don't value everything based only on money. Agar paisa hi sab kuch hota toh phir log hamesha five star hotel me hi khate na, dhaba koi kyu jata (If money was everything, then people would always eat at five-star hotels—why would anyone go to a roadside dhaba?). My film is outstanding commercially." About Tanvi The Great The film tells the story of Tanvi Raina, a 21‑year‑old woman on the autism spectrum, portrayed by newcomer Shubhangi Dutt. Driven by her late Army officer father's unfulfilled dream to salute the Indian flag atop the Siachen Glacier, she embarks on a determined journey to join the Army herself—despite societal and institutional hurdles. While the acting of the cast was appreciated, some critics were disappointed with the execution of the film. The film, which also featured Iain Glen, Jackie Shroff, Pallavi Joshi, Arvind Swami and Nassar in key roles, managed to collect only ₹2.52 crore at the box office. About Saiyaara Saiyaara, on the other hand, emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of 2025 and the biggest romantic film ever in Indian cinema, collecting ₹500 crore worldwide and ₹304 crore at the domestic box office. Helmed by Mohit Suri, the film marked Ahaan Panday's debut alongside Aneet Padda in the lead role.

Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones Hails 'Amazing' Co-Star Jenna Ortega
Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly. Wednesday Season 2: Catherine Zeta-Jones thinks Jenna Ortega is 'amazing". The 55-year-old actress stars alongside Jenna, 22, in the new season of Wednesday, and Catherine has praised her co-star's professional approach to their sword fight scene. She told People: 'We did rehearse it. It's like choreography and stunts. You know, we have to be careful. These are real weapons we're working with." Catherine observed that Jenna made time in her busy schedule so that they could prepare properly for the scene. The actress, who plays Morticia Addams on the hit Netflix show, said: 'She'd find time in her schedule, which is a much bigger schedule than mine, to come and rehearse with me, and then we worked it with the stunt coordinator, and it turned out really fabulous." Catherine has also praised Luis Guzman, who plays Gomez Addams, for his pre-shoot preparations. The duo teamed up to perform a tango, and Catherine revealed that Luis 'just really worked hard". She shared: 'We used to rehearse the four scenes outside, dodging the rain, sometimes in Ireland, in gravel to keep it every day, to keep it fresh. Because, of course, we learned it at the beginning of the show. We weren't shooting it for weeks, three months later. So to keep it fresh and to remember our moves every now and again, we just jump together and we do it. And we laughed." Meanwhile, Jenna previously revealed that she became an 'unhappy person" after season one of Wednesday. The actress plays Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show, but Jenna initially struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success. She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention, as somebody who's quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary." Jenna now serves as a producer on Wednesday, and she's loving the experience of having a hands-on role with the show. Jenna – who has become one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood in recent years – said: 'I sit in on meetings and listen and learn. I'm still finding my footing in that area."
