The Netflix streaming service is partnering with the South Korean entertainment company Climax Studio to produce the animated feature film ‘Lost In Starlight.’
“Netflix’s very first Korean-language animated film will be the love story Lost in Starlight, starring the voices of K-drama powerhouses Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung,” Netflix said in a statement. “Most recently seen in talk-of-the-town K-horror series Revenant, the two have already proven they have an uncanny chemistry. In Lost in Starlight, they lend their voices to the roles of astronaut Nan-young and musician Jay, who embark on the longest-ever long-distance relationship — one that bridges Earth and Mars.”
The movie will be directed by Han Ji-won (Clearer than You Think) who co-wrote the screenplay with Kang Hyun-joo (The Scarlet Letter).
Netflix explains that the plot will follow “Nan-young, whose astronaut mom failed to return to Earth when things went awry during her Mars probe. Nan-young has always dreamed of exploring space too, and longs to go to Mars in hopes of finding a trace of her mom. Her dream comes true when she is selected as one of the astronauts for a Mars probe project. Before she blasts off though, she meets Jay, a musician who also fixes retro sound instruments. (It’s all thanks to an old turntable that Nan-young inherited from her mom.)”
The award-winning actress Kim Tae-ri (1987: When the Day Comes, Space Sweepers) will take on the role of Nan-young while Hong Kyung (My Lawyer, Mr. Jo 2: Crime and Punishment, The Effect of a Finger Flick on a Breakup) will be performing the character of Jay.
