Take Off director's cut in cinemas

Director Kim Yong-hwa will release a newly edited version of the box office smash "Take Off" on 10 September. The director's cut will improve the story with newly added scenes. Also, KIM re-edited, and added footage to the Olympic special effect scenes.

"Take Off" director's cut will only play at cinemas with digital screening rooms. Take Off accumulated 7 million viewers on 7 September since its release on 29 July, and claimed "The Good, the Bad, the Weird"'s eleventh place in the most successful Korean films chart.

The fictional tale partly based on true events follows an unlikely outfit who aim for the Olympics. The ski jumpers – an uncommon sport in Korea – are hardly professional and have to come from far to realise their objective. Ha Jung-woo plays the lead character, an Korean adoptee skier who happens to be in Korea to search for his biological parents. He is reluctant to represent Korea.
