This time there won't be any massive arms buildup and full-scale mobilization of resources. We won't be launching Liberty ships or new fleets of bombers to fight terrorists armed with box cutters...

...million budget, which makes this Korea's priciest film production of all time. Forget the art-house crowd. This time Jang is worried about pleasing his investors and drumming up big ticket sales at home and overseas (which means no bizarre sex). "We need the money and we could sink without the foreign audience," says Jang, adding with a grin, "I'm shooting...
