CJ Entertainment has
tabbed June 11 for DVD and Blu-ray editions of filmmaker Chang-min Choo’s
blockbuster film of political intrigue, Masquerade.
The ARR comes in at 263 days and domestic
ticket sales for this Korean-language import are just under one million dollars
(over $150 million internationally).
Plucked from the pages of
history during the Joseon Dynasty, Chang-min Choo has spun an obscure historical
entry into a delightful, well-paced tale of power and survival. King Gwang-hae (Byung-hun Lee — I Saw
the Devil, A Bittersweet Life) is fearful of assassination, so he has his
chief counselor, Heo Gyun (Seung-yong Ryoo) recruit a look-alike (also played
by Byung-hun Lee) to become the focal point for any attempts on his own
life.
When the opposite happens and the real king falls into a
coma from poisoning, the inner-court has no choice but to put the peasant in
charge (under a tight leash). But once
he gets the hang of it — court manners, politics and how things work — he
begins to make changes … all for the better!
