\n Korean film maestro Park Chan-wook is keeping in motion. The internationally acclaimed auteur, 60, will begin production on Saturday on his 12th feature, an adaptation of American novelist Donald Westlake\u2019s 1996 novel The Ax<\/em>. The movie, which is currently going by the working title I Can\u2019t Help It<\/em>, will star Korean screen royalty Lee Byung-hun and Son Ye-jin, with financing and distribution coming from local studio heavyweight CJ ENM.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Westlake\u2019s novel was previously adapted into French by Costa Gavras as the 2005 film Le Couperet<\/em> (The Ax<\/em>e). Like its predecessor, Park\u2019s adaptation follows a man \u2014 named Man-soo this time and played by Lee \u2014\u00a0who is abruptly laid off by the paper company where he worked tirelessly for many years. The man grows increasingly desperate in his hunt for new work, eventually resolving to kill his job competitors. Son\u00a0will play the man\u2019s wife, the warm-hearted Mi-ri.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n I Can\u2019t Help It <\/em>will be Park\u2019s first film feature since his critically lauded romantic mystery drama Decision to Leave<\/em> (2022). In between big-screen projects, he co-directed the HBO miniseries<\/a> The Sympathizer<\/em>, based on the 2015\u00a0Pulitzer Prize-winning\u00a0novel of the same name, and co-starring Robert Downey Jr. Last year also saw the 20th-anniversary rerelease of his ultra-violent global breakthrough Old Boy <\/em>(2003).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Park and Lee achieved early career success together with the mystery thriller Joint Security Area<\/em> (2000), a landmark of Korean millennial cinema (Quentin Tarantino once described it as one of his favorite films since the 1990s). Lee has since become known as one of his country\u2019s most versatile actors, recently achieving even greater global visibility thanks to his recurring role as the Front Man in\u00a0Netflix\u2019s Squid Game<\/a><\/em>. With her bright, warm persona and wildly popular early film roles, Son became known as the \u201cNation\u2019s First Love\u201d in Korea. I Can\u2019t Help It <\/em>will mark her first time collaborating with Park. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Rounding out I Can\u2019t Help It<\/em>\u2018s cast are Lee Sung-min (The Spy Gone North<\/em>) and Yeom Hye-ran (Life<\/em>), who will co-star as a couple who has gone through similar unemployment travails. Park Hee-soon (The Scam<\/em>) will play the paper company\u2019s team leader, while Cha Seung-won (One Ordinary Day<\/em>) app<\/a>ears as one of Man-soo\u2019s job competitors. Yoo Yeon-seok (Mr. Sunshine<\/em>) plays a colleague of the wife, Mi-ri.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n CJ ENM has said the target release date for the film remains undecided. Park, however, is a regular at the Cannes Film Festival, held annually in May, having premiered four of his films there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
