I see the English Teacher grossing about 50 thousand dollars worldwide. Expats maybe half that. They say the first movie on a certain theme invariably makes more money.

I know cause I know some of the people involved. And some of the ideas may have been ripped off by a Korean/American director named Won-suk Chin who is currently working on a similar themed movie-called 'Expats' slated for release next year. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408764/ This is a movie made by expats.

You can apparently now get drugs in Korea outside of just Itaewon. I hope it's a real movie, I can't wait to get my bootleg copy for W2,000. --Remort Cool! You can apparently now get drugs in Korea outside of just Itaewon.

I hope it’s a real movie, I can’t wait to get my bootleg copy for W2,000.

Show the bar girls swindling poor GI’s out of their pay for watered down drinks and sob stories of sick mothers in hospital. This is neither brave nor interesting. The little Hunji chup getting some white boy pork sword is nothing out of the ordinary. Film something the rank and file will find remotely interesting.

Koreans will regard every negative stereotype of English teachers in the film as being 100% accurate and at the same time scream blue murder about the "denigration" of Korean women in it. That scene of white-man-atop-Korean-girl alone will get the netizens foaming at the mouth. Somehow I think PIFF will turn it down too. Foreigners in Korea had better hope it doesn’t run at PIFF.

I guess quality productions can take a while to get out of the editing stage. As we could all see from the trailer, we are talking possibly PIFF material.
