Behind the Scenes of 'The Black Nuns': A Glimpse into the Production Process

The film 'The Black Nuns' has captured attention with the release of its behind-the-scenes video, showcasing the dedication of the cast and the intricate production process that brought the project to life. Producer Oh Hyo-jin shared that the story began with a thought-provoking question: "What if the 12 forms reappeared in Korea, but there were no exorcists like Choi Jun-ho and Kim Beom-sin?" This sets the stage for a narrative that follows in the footsteps of 'The Priests'.

Actor Lee Jin-wook noted, "There are many films about exorcisms, but this is the first time I've seen nuns take the lead in such rituals," highlighting the unique premise where two nuns, forbidden from performing exorcisms, embark on a dangerous mission. Song Hye-kyo added that her character, Sister Unia, is bold and unpredictable, promising a captivating performance that will leave a strong impression.

The production team has also worked hard to infuse realism into the film. Music director Kim Tae-sung mentioned that they aimed to amplify the strange moments of everyday life, while art director Jo Hwa-sung expressed a desire to create an unsettling atmosphere that disrupts familiarity. This attention to detail in music and set design is expected to enhance the film's sense of reality, providing audiences with both comfort and discomfort.

With the behind-the-scenes video titled 'Beginning the Forbidden Ritual', 'The Black Nuns' is set to invigorate theaters in the new year with its high-quality visuals and unique storyline. The film, a sequel to 'The Priests', tells the story of individuals who undertake a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. It is scheduled for release on January 24, 2025.
