Na Hong-jin has directed Hope, reported to be the most expensive South Korean film production to date. The sci-fi thriller blends rural mystery with alien-monster survival elements.

Set in a harbor town, the plot follows local police chief Ko Beom-seok, played by Hwang Jung-min, and officer Yim Sung-ae, played by Hoyeon, as they investigate mutilated livestock and a subsequent monster outbreak. The film features a high-stakes narrative involving a crashed spaceship and intense chase sequences. The production includes international cast members, including Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, Taylor Russell, and Cameron Britton, with Fassbender and Vikander providing the voices for CGI alien characters.
