Two killer poster art for Shim Hyung-Rae's D-War (디워) is online at the official site. One of em feature a giant serpent reigning terror and destruction over a skyscaper at downtown LA. If that doesn't grab people attention, I don't know what will.
According to the official site, the release date is on August 2nd.

I don't know, it looks exactly like all those DVD covers for Sci-Fi Channel original movies. They won't be able to sell people in the US on this thing with posters but if they do a competent job with trailers and TV spots, every 10 year old boy should be drooling to see it just like my inner 10 year old has been doing ever since the first promo footage showed up online all those years ago.
These posters are cool, good to see they dropped the atrocious text that was on them a few months ago (apparently at that time they thought nothing would sell monster movies better than bad grammar..).
But with the combination of modern-day fantasy and urban destruction they're going head-to-head with transformers. Not wise methinks.
If they could get somebody to make a decent trailer they could sell it to the states for sure.
Is there a release date yet for Korea? It'd be nice seeing this in theaters here and not worrying about language issues.
