Jang Dong-gun and Kate Bosworth will star in new movie

20071102jdgk

With his recent thrust into the American spotlight with a Time Magazine cover, the sexy Jang Dong-gun has sealed yet another deal to pave the way to stardom in the U.S. He is set to star alongside the gorgeous Kate Bosworth in the upcoming movie “Laundry Warrior,” a story about an Asian warrior’s adventures in the west as a fugitive where he meets a beautiful woman. Sure, the plot may not seem Oscar-worthy, but the movie is being produced by “Lord of the Rings” and “Matrix” producer Barrie Osborne. This is thus far the biggest transition a Korean movie star has made into the American film industry.

Dong Gun Fighting!

    its a toss-up to who the camera loves more…its like too much beauty…

  5. 5 aiMaN November 2, 2007 at 3:33 pm

    I adore Kate Bosworth. Jang Dong Gun is certainly good looking. And a Barrie Osborne produce movie at that. Im definitely watching when it come out.

    With top-rated actors like Jang Dong Gun(Taegukgi, Friend, Typhoon), Geoffrey Rush(Shine, Shakespeare in Love, Elizabeth, Pirates of the Carribean)& Kate Bosworth (Blue Crush, Louis Lane in Superman Returns)plus Barrie Osborn as the producer, this movie would be a hit, I’m sure.

  7. 7 DG November 2, 2007 at 3:50 pm

    JDG deserves it, wishing him good luck.

  8. 8 carol November 2, 2007 at 3:57 pm

    So cool. I really admire this actor, so humble.

  9. 9 waaaah November 2, 2007 at 4:05 pm

    ugh i don’t like kate bosworth.. she’s the only one/thing that i didn’t like in Superman Returns..

  10. 10 OmD November 2, 2007 at 4:22 pm

  13. 13 mitch November 2, 2007 at 4:48 pm

    Too bad that Zhang Ziyi was replaced by only a so so actress like Kate Bosworth because of her tight schedules. Anyway, Jang Dong Gun is in the movie and that’s more important to me. Fighting JDG!

  14. 14 mitch November 2, 2007 at 6:56 pm

    Thanks popseul for featuring Mr.Jang Dong Gun, one of the most talented actors in South Korea.

  15. 15 hateJJH November 2, 2007 at 7:16 pm

    though I dun really think Kate is that good an actress, she’s at least not buggy/overrated like zyz. this looks good!

    Now I only need to pray that freaken gorgoues JDG will do a project with Johnny Depp, they can be twins…and I will be nice for the rest of my life.

  16. 16 Liesel November 2, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    JDG is really classy, a true mega movie star. Wish him all the best. Dong Gun Jang!!

  17. 17 bleh November 2, 2007 at 8:50 pm

    hello gorgeous dong gun…..luv ya and wishing ya all da best in Hollywood!!!;)

  18. 18 Aya November 2, 2007 at 10:09 pm

    If only the girl were remotely decent looking or a decent actress.

  19. 19 Muna November 2, 2007 at 10:32 pm

    Can’t wait!

  20. 20 Em November 2, 2007 at 10:33 pm

  21. 21 XiaoXi November 2, 2007 at 10:53 pm

    Oooo. Looking forward to seeing JDG on the big screen. I hope the movie isn’t too cheesy.

  22. 22 Mimi November 2, 2007 at 11:11 pm

    I prefere Kate over Zhang ziyi..I think zzy is overated to..
    and JDG? he is just ^^

    woo woo… can’t wait to see the movie (and I pray for a good movie)

  23. 23 rocketfuel November 2, 2007 at 11:14 pm

    If it was Angelina Jolie, then Jang Dong Gun’s stock would sky rocket.

  24. 24 meLL November 2, 2007 at 11:24 pm

    Cool!! Good luCk

  25. 25 starlight November 2, 2007 at 11:37 pm

  26. 26 YooYoo November 2, 2007 at 11:43 pm

  27. 27 roose November 3, 2007 at 12:02 am

    what….can zhang ziyi even speak english well? kate bosworth is very pretty and it’d be nice to see the guy being asian for once…it’s always the exotic asian girl.

  28. 28 candy November 3, 2007 at 1:05 am

    I’m so proud of JDG, I really hope that the movie would be a success.

  29. 29 padii November 3, 2007 at 1:35 am

  30. 30 peepoo November 3, 2007 at 2:03 am

    i’m so looking forward to the day when asian actors get casted for ANY role not just asian ones.

  31. 31 teabag November 3, 2007 at 2:12 am

    SPEEDRACER DOESN’T EVEN STAND A CHANCE!

    Buaahhahaa! JDG!

  32. 32 sweetlee8 November 3, 2007 at 2:20 am

    Does anyone know which issue of TIME JDG was on the cover of? I haven’t seen it and would like to… I looked at some covers on the web site but haven’t seen it!

  33. 33 Raye November 3, 2007 at 2:20 am

    I wish him sucess but I wish JiHoon even more.

    GO Rain GO Rain GO Rain!!!

  34. 34 Katulong November 3, 2007 at 2:29 am

    I’ll be excited when I see my Jun Ji Hyun movie. Then I’ll celebrate for him.
    I swear, it’s like some kind of tease! Not one trailor and it takes months for them to update their progress for a freaking 45 minute movie!
    Let’s just hope Dong Gun isn’t cheated.

  35. 35 starlight November 3, 2007 at 2:31 am

    sweetlee8,

    actually he appeared on Time Mag cover exactly 2 years ago, November 2005 issue to be spesific…..it’s an old news for his fans, i dunno why it takes 2 years for other people to know about it..

  36. 36 hearmeroar November 3, 2007 at 2:40 am

    at least we know all the asians will be out in the movie theaters supporting him, hahaha. but yay! jdg <3 i wonder if this will come out before or after jun jihyun (or… gianna jun?!)’s hollywood flick..

  37. 37 paulina November 3, 2007 at 2:54 am

    I think anyone is better than Zhang Ziyi. She seems to be the only Asian in hollywood movies. But if the role meant for an Asian, then would Kate Bosworth be suitable?

  38. 38 mylasan November 3, 2007 at 3:11 am

    @Paulina…But if the role meant for an Asian, then would Kate Bosworth be suitable?

    I read that they would revise the script.

  39. 39 mylasan November 3, 2007 at 4:04 am

    @sweetlee8

    I think the said November, 2005 edition of Time magazine was only distributed in South Korea. I got my copy there coz it’s not available in our country.

  40. 40 DAMARIS SALINAS(MONTERREY,N.L. MEXICO) November 3, 2007 at 4:29 am

    !!YOU CAN DO IT OPPA!!!

  43. 43 okeydoke November 3, 2007 at 5:55 am

    MUST SEE.

  44. 44 Rayne November 3, 2007 at 6:13 am

    why is dong gun working with some random white girl??

    it’s NOT a good match. why the freak is this going on??????

  45. 45 ed November 3, 2007 at 6:28 am
  46. 46 May November 3, 2007 at 6:41 am

    Does he speak English?

  47. 47 RoflMyWaffle November 3, 2007 at 7:19 am

    I hope he doesn’t flop… once he flops… @ my school: “LMFAO ANOTHER LAME KOREAN MOVIE JUST LIKE DWAR”

  48. 48 Bloo November 3, 2007 at 7:38 am

    Starring along side with Kate Bosworth is a step down for him, Hollywood or not. She’s a bad actress. :(

  49. 49 sasuke November 3, 2007 at 7:55 am

    i agree with aya and bloo. she sucks as an actress. but has good style.

  50. 50 Katulong November 3, 2007 at 8:43 am

    I think him and Kate will do okay.

  51. 51 sweetlee8 November 3, 2007 at 8:58 am

    You’re all right — He was on the 2005 cover (http://www.time.com/time/asia/2005/korea/story2.html). Too bad! I thought it was more recent…

  52. 52 yetaz November 3, 2007 at 10:24 am

    gorgeous papa.

  53. 53 monalisa November 3, 2007 at 10:27 am

    sweetlee8, to be x-tra specific, JDG was on the cover of the 14 Nov, 2005 issue of Time. I was so fortunate that my friend in HK sent me a copy that her husband bought in Japan.

  54. 54 Min A November 3, 2007 at 12:10 pm

    awww…they make a cute couple already. i wish JDG the best of luck. ^_^

  55. 55 joyce November 3, 2007 at 12:40 pm

    I’m so happy for JDG. Good luck Oppa!

  56. 56 mel November 3, 2007 at 12:50 pm

    The story really revolves between the characters to be portrayed by JDG and Geofrrey Rush. Kate’s role is just to spice up the story. If Zhang-Ziyi was not replaced, she is suppose to be the the assassin of JDG but will fall in love with him. Kate’s role is suppose to be just a minor one but since zhang ziyi backed out, they decided to make the role of Kate bigger that what it should be.

  57. 57 DM November 3, 2007 at 2:43 pm

    Good news for him.
    But I don’t really care for Kate Bosworth.
    I used to respect her until she decided to let herself be skeleton skinny and anorexic-looking.
    Tsk, tsk, I thought she would be smarter than that but I guess she’s like all those lame, vain actresses.

    And I thought she sucked in Superman Returns.

  58. 58 amareally November 3, 2007 at 2:52 pm

    “LAUNDRY WARRIOR” ??? SERIOUSLY ?? (the name guys the name! I Hope they changed the title) it’s almost similar to read something like “Captain Underpants”.. but JDG fighting !! I like him in Thypoon so, it’s is really a good news ..

  59. 59 yadayada November 4, 2007 at 12:14 am

    ^ @ amareally.. LMAO.. luv the comment…

    anyway… does he know how to speak decent english? or will his character stay korean or be dubbed in english?

  60. 60 Aigoo November 4, 2007 at 1:03 pm

    Glad it’s Asian guy and white girl this time. Not white guy and asian girl like it always is!

  61. 61 Anonymous November 4, 2007 at 4:25 pm

    Kate Bosworth is pretty but she can’t act worth crap.

  62. 62 cassie. November 5, 2007 at 12:43 am

  63. 63 Kitsune November 6, 2007 at 8:50 am
