    All for the Money. One for the Revenge. Every Man for Himself. Source: Well Go USA, MPRM Communications Special Thanks to Leif Helland Debuting on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital February 12th from Well Go USA Entertainment, THE THIEVES (???, Dodookdeul, 2012) made box office history as Korea’s highest-grossing movie to date, with more than a half-million tickets sold on the first day and over 10 million tickets sold in the first three weeks. Director Dong-hoo Choi’s (WOOCHI, THE BIG SWINDLE, TAZZA: THE HIGH ROLLERS) high stakes heist film follows five thieves at the top of their game as they plan to plan to pull off a major Casino robbery. The all-star ensemble includes Gianna Jun (SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN), Kim Hae-suk (THIRST), Kim Hye-su (MODERN BOY), Kim Soo Hyun (TV’s THE THIRD HOSPITAL), Kim Yun-seok (PUNCH), Angelica Lee (SLEEPWALKER), Lee Jung-Jae (THE ACCIDENTAL GANGSTER), Oh Dal-su (THE TRAFFICKERS), Kwok Cheung Tsang (THE BULLET VANISHES) and Simon Yam (IP MAN, IP MAN 2). Bonus materials include two behind-the-scenes featurettes. It`s the score of their lives -- if they can pull it off. Five thieves at the top of their game, and the crew is assembling for their biggest job yet. Popie`s the muscle and brains, Pepsee`s the safecracker, Yenicall climbs walls, Zampano is the strategy man, and Chewingum is the master of disguise. But this new score -- it’s hot. Maybe too hot. But who can resist the Tear of the Sun: a 318-carat diamond, worth 20 million dollars, and locked away in a casino. The vault is impenetrable, the location covered in cops, and everyone knows there’s no honor among thieves -- especially not the crew Macao Park, Popie’s old partner, has forced their team to work with. As they gear up and stroll into the casino with a plan, skills, and a whole lot of nerve, they quickly learn that avoiding the cops may not be their toughest problem. What’s Macao Park’s real motive? Who will betray them all? And who will walk away with the diamond? THE THIEVES has a runtime of approximately 136 minutes and is not rated. Bonus Features: • “Meet The Thieves” Featurette • “The Making of THE THIEVES” Featurette Blu-ray Catalog #: WGU01388B UPC Code: 812491013885 SLP: $29.98 DVD Catalog #: WGU01387D UPC Code: 812491013878 SLP: $24.98

    About us

     

    Welcome to SciFi Japan, your source for news and information on science fiction, horror, fantasy and action movies, TV shows and videos.. from classics and old favorites, to upcoming productions and home video releases, to the odd and obscure titles you may never have heard of!

    The mainstream press has largely ignored Japanese tokusatsu (special effects) films, and when the genre has been covered by American news outlets and television the results were often inaccurate and condescending. On the other hand, there have been some excellent fan publications and websites devoted to these films, but Japanese studios have been extremely reluctant to deal with fan groups due to concerns over copyright infringement issues (some fans advocate and promote activities such as video bootlegging and unlicensed downloading). With no direct access to studio news and photos, fan reporting has often been forced to rely on secondhand info and rumors.

    What was missing was a professionally run English news outlet working directly with Japanese studios and filmmakers. So, in 2006, we brought together a talented group of published authors and reporters, film historians, reviewers, festival organizers, and movie makers with ties to the Japanese film industry to launch SciFi Japan (More information on our key contributors can be found here). The only English language news site press registered with all of the major Japanese studios and production companies, SciFi Japan is able to consistently bring accurate and exclusive information on Japanese films and shows to English speaking/reading fans worldwide.

    This site also receives updates from licensees and distributors of Japanese movies in North America, the UK and Australia, and we’re press registered with the major American studios as well. So, while our primary focus remains Japanese llive action and anime news we will rinclude international productions in our "International SciFii" and. "Asian Cinema" sections.

    And in 2012, we launched SciFi JAPAN TV, a web series featuring coverage of tokusatsu events and interviews with Japanese filmmakers. Each episode was shot on location in Japan exclusively for SciFi Japan by the Gaijin Channel production team. 

    SciFi Japan has grown by leaps and bounds over these past few years, and the site will continue to improve. So please bookmark SFJ and check back with us frequently… we’ll do our best to make it worth the effort!
