Genshin Impact’s Orchard of Pairidaeza is one of Version 3.4’s main new areas and an in-game point of interest. However, access to it is quite limited as players have to complete a few prerequisite tasks before being able to reach it. The Orchard of Pairidaeza is also known as the Eternal Oasis and is located directly below Desert of Hadramaveth’s severe sandstorm in Mt. Damavand. It is an underground location, but simply walking toward it through mere tunnel entrances will not provide results.

[Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for Genshin Impact 3.4.]The Orchard of Pairidaeza in Genshin Impact is actually a cemetery for the Goddess of Flowers, made by King Deshret in her honor. Full access to it in Genshin Impact’s Desert of Hadramaveth is granted by the World Quest “The Eternal Dream, Ever Lush.” However, the quest itself requires that a considerably long list of previous quests are completed. Because of this, players will...

Spackman Entertainment, a company listed in Singapore with a collection of Korean-themed investments, said that it has received a takeover offer for its Zip Cinema subsidiary, one of Korea’s leading independent production companies.

In a regulatory filing, Spackman said that a non-binding letter of intent was delivered by Charm Accounting Corporation. Charm in turn is acting on behalf of an undisclosed “content production company listed in Korea.” It is not clear whether Zip’s management supports the bid.

Zip Cinema has previously produced hit films including 2014’s “My Brilliant Life,” 2015’s “The Priests” and 2018’s “Golden Slumber.” It was also a minority investor in Bong Joon-ho’s original “Snowpiercer” film from 2013.

Spackman explains that it has not yet held talks with Charm, which wants to come to an agreement by the end of the year. The value of Charm’s bid has not been disclosed, and Spackman says that...

It’s not often that you see biographical films on religious personalities and even lesser so focused on their childhood. Director Choi Jong-tae’s new film “Beyond That Mountain” attempts just that by looking at the childhood of the beloved late Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan.

Synopsis

Biographical film about the childhood of the late Cardinal Stephen Kim Sou-hwan, who was a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church and the former Archbishop of Seoul, South Korea and an iconic figure in South Korea’s bloody and tumultuous transition from military rule to democracy.

The film stars Lee Hang-na (“Golden Slumber“), child actor Lee Kyung-hoon as the young Kim Sou-hwan, Ahn Nae-sang (“Killed My Wife”), and Kang Shin-il (“The Prison”). It releases in South Korea on April 30th, 2020.

“Battle of Jangsari,” a Korean war action film with a cast that includes Megan Fox and Choi Min-ho of K-pop boy band SHINee, will be distributed in North America by WellGo USA. The film screened privately for buyers during the Toronto film festival.

WellGo plans to release “Jangsari” on Oct. 4, just over a week after it Korean theatrical outing, and will be targeting Asian-American and mainstream audiences. “We bought ‘Jangsari’ on promo alone, because of its compelling and true story. Also having Megan Fox in a role, we’ll hopefully bring in crossover audiences in Us and Canada,” said WellGo president Doris Pfardrescher in a statement. Fox plays a war correspondent.

A previous war action film “Operation Chromite,” from the same stable of production house Taewon Entertainment and sales house Finecut, grossed $1.02 million in the U.S. That film featured Liam Neeson.

Finecut also licensed its missing child drama “Bring Me Home...

USA Network has rounded out the cast for its straight-to series drama Treadstone, an offshoot from Universal’s Bourne franchise. The Affair star Omar Metwally, Tracy Ifeachor (Quantico), Hyo Joo Han (W: Two Worlds), Gabrielle Scharnitzky (The Game) and Emilia Schüle (Berlin Station) join previously announced Jeremy Irvine and Brian J. Smith as series regulars in the drama from Heroes creator Tim Kring and Universal Cable Productions.

Written by Kring, Treadstone explores the origin story and present-day actions of a CIA black ops program known as Operation Treadstone — a covert program that uses behavior-modification protocol to turn recruits into nearly superhuman assassins. The first season follows sleeper agents across the globe as they’re mysteriously “awakened” to resume their deadly missions.

Metwally will play Mr. Edwards, a CIA agent who was ostracized by his colleagues after making a decision that left a fellow operative dead. His willingness to make the...

Based on an award-winning 2003 film, Body To Body follows a stripper who discovers she has agreed to change her life for a man who turns out to be a twisted transplant doctor with whom she has a son.

South Korea does some of the best dark high school dramas. Films like “Bleak Night”, “Han Gong-ju”, “Thread of Lies” and even “Silenced” are incredibly hard to sit through yet exceptionally engaging and very relevant even today. Director Kim Ui-seok takes on another high school tragedy and its aftermath in his debut feature “After My Death”, which received universal praise when it premiered at the 2017 edition of the Busan Film Festival.

Synopsis

Yeong-hee is quickly thrown into a maelstrom of accusations, leading to a witch hunt encouraged by the missing girl’s mother and her quick-to-condemn classmates. While Yeong-hee searches for the truth, she must solve her own existential crisis before spiraling out of control. “After My Death” wraps its drama in a mantle of...

Winning him ‘Best New Director’ award at the Korean Association of Film Critics Awards and becoming the third grossest R rated film in Korea’s history, it’s an impressive debut to say the least.
