‘Train to Busan’ Director Yeon Sang-ho on AI Thriller ‘Paradise Lost’

According to Variety, Yeon Sang-ho, the director of ‘Train to Busan’ and ‘Hellbound,’ has turned his focus to artificial intelligence in his latest film, ‘Paradise Lost.’ The story is set in the fictional Musan City, where a grieving mother uses AR glasses to spend time with a digital version of her 10-year-old son, who vanished years earlier. The comfort provided by the technology turns into a terrifying ordeal when the real boy returns as a grown stranger. Yeon, who premiered ‘Colony’ at Cannes earlier this year, produced this project with a tight budget and a short shooting schedule. ‘Paradise Lost’ has received positive audience reception following screenings at the Toronto and Busan film festivals.
