Kim Ho-sung, the Korean branch head of Fox International Production, said he has received a proposal from Ridley Scott of Scott Free Production, which produced Hollywood blockbuster Gladiator (2000), according to Yonhap News agency.
Director Na Hong-jin was chosen as the best director for the movie which features a tranquil rural village embroiled in mysterious serial murders after the arrival of a stranger. Since its premiere at last year's Cannes Film Festival, it has been invited to even more international film festivals. In South Korea, it attracted 6.8 million viewers.
