Netflix to Release Yeon Sang-ho's 'Revelation' Starring Ryu Jun-yeol on March 21
Netflix is set to premiere the film '계시록' (Revelation), directed by Yeon Sang-ho and starring Ryu Jun-yeol, on March 21, 2025. The film explores the intertwined stories of a pastor who believes that punishing the perpetrator of a missing person case is a divine revelation, and a detective haunted by the ghost of her deceased brother. This collaboration between Yeon Sang-ho and writer Choi Gyu-seok delves into the complexities of human instincts, while the film has garnered attention for featuring acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón as an executive producer, known for his work on 'Roma' and 'Gravity'.
The main poster showcases Ryu Jun-yeol as Pastor Seong Min-chan, Shin Hyun-bin as Detective Lee Yeon-hee, who is tormented by her brother's spirit, and Shin Min-jae as Kwon Yang-rae, a former convict suspected in the missing person case. The trio is depicted in a rain-soaked forest, each gazing into different directions, hinting at their individual beliefs and the conflicts that will arise as the story unfolds. An enigmatic figure glimpsed through the trees adds to the intrigue, promising an unpredictable narrative.
The recently released launch trailer begins with a call reporting the disappearance of a female student from Pastor Seong Min-chan's church. After receiving a revelation that Kwon Yang-rae is involved in the case, Seong Min-chan begins to pursue him. Meanwhile, Detective Lee Yeon-hee uncovers suspicious connections between Seong Min-chan and Kwon Yang-rae while investigating the case. Her line, 'They said they were waiting for me to save them,' raises questions about the guilt she feels regarding her brother's fate.
The tagline, 'Madness begins with twisted faith,' sets the stage for a gripping chase among the three characters, heightening anticipation for 'Revelation'. Yeon Sang-ho's intricate psychological portrayal and fast-paced storytelling promise a captivating blend of crime, mystery, and psychological thriller. Additionally, the remarkable performances and dynamic character ensemble from Ryu Jun-yeol, Shin Hyun-bin, and Shin Min-jae are expected to provide viewers with a rich and immersive experience.
With a solid storyline crafted in collaboration with Choi Gyu-seok, following their successful project 'Hell', and the involvement of Alfonso Cuarón as executive producer, 'Revelation' is poised for a global release on Netflix on March 21, 2025.
