Peninsula Photos Previews First Look at Post-Train to Busan World

In a recent interview with Screen Daily, director Yeon Sang-Ho opened up about his highly-anticipated Train to Busan sequel Peninsula, teasing the follow-up’s bigger scale compared to the original South Korean zombie thriller. In addition, the first photos of Peninsula have also been revealed which you can check out in the gallery below!

“The scale of Peninsula can’t compare to Train to Busan, it makes it look like an independent film,” Yeon said. “Train to Busan was a high-concept film shot in narrow spaces whereas Peninsula has a much wider scope of movement.”
