[Korean DVD News] Park Jin-pyo's Faction-Drama Voice of a Murderer [그놈 목소리] Up For Pre-Order

We reported a few months back conflicting predictions concerning the eventual box office success of Park Jin-pyo's (You Are My Sunshine, 2005) docudrama Voice of a Murderer, which opened on February 1, 2007. One critic foretold a huge flop, while Darcy over at Koreanfilm.org went out on a limb, prophesying the biggest hit of the year. In fact, the film sold 1.46 million tickets opening weekend, outperforming War of Flowers (1.16 million opening week), and went on to register 3.1 million admissions during its run. Based on highly publicized events that took place in 1991, the drama tells the story of a kidnapper who abducts the child of a successful news anchor (Seol Kyeong-gu, the outstanding actor of Oasis and Peppermint Candy) and his wife (Kim Nam-joo). Over the course of 44 days, the parents receive threatening calls demanding large sums of money. The nine-year-old boy is eventually found dead on the banks of the Han river, and the killer is still at large. Distributed by CJ Entertainment, Voice of a Murderer: Special Edition (2-DVD set) will feature anamorphic widescreen presentation, Dolby Digital 5.1 audio and English subtitles (on feature only).
