[HanCinema's News] Anchor Stills Released for "The Anchor"
By William Schwartz | Published on
The currently airing South Korean film "The Anchor" recently released new production stills of actress Chun Woo-hee in the leading role. In contrast to previous stills, these new ones emphasize her transformation into an anchorwoman. Chun Woo-hee can be seen sitting respectfully, facing to the right with a neutral expression on her face in monocolored clothes. She is, in these shots, indistinguishable from a regular news anchorwoman.

This is not too surprising, as aprt of Chun Woo-hee's training for the role was to study under the actual anchorwoman for the KBS 9 O'Clock News. Consequently, her manner as an anchorwoman is soft and elegant- even if the actual plot of "The Anchor" sees that being rapidly undone in the face of an apparent murder mystery. "The Anchor" has earned 112,052 admissions as of April 25th according to the Korean Film Council. Panos Kozathanasis of HanCinema reviewed it here.
