![]() ‘Popeye’ and his 4-member robbery group are chased by cops for art larceny. Just in time, they get approached for a big job in Macao. Problem is, the job is being planned by ‘Captain’, a character rumored to have scored $10 million in one night at a casino and got his Achilles’ heel cut when he tried to seduce the triad boss’ wife. He is also the person who betrayed Popeye 4 years ago when they worked together to steal gold bars and walked away with everything. A chance for revenge! Popeye convinces safecracker ‘Pepsi’, an ex-lover of Captain, to seek revenge together, and leaves for Macao with the team. Unlike the rumor, Captain greets Popeye and his team as if nothing has happened before. Alongside him is a beautiful heiress to the casino and 3 professional thieves from China. They are planning to rob a casino with a robust plan formulated by Captain, based on inside information from the casino heiress. However, Popeye’s team doesn’t get along with the Chinese. The Chinese team suspects that Captain is planning to use them by forging an alliance with Popeye. Popeye’s team also suspects the reverse. Did Captain conspire this all along? Captain urges Pepsi to leave Macao as soon as possible. He tells the entire truth of his past to Pepsi, and Popeye is growing more interested in the ‘object’ that’s hidden inside the casino rather than the revenge. Not knowing that both teams are closely observed by Korean and Chinese police, the thieves head toward the casino under Captain’s guidance for a series of events that none of them could have imagined. http://www.cinando.com http://ppp.asianfilmmarket.org/ http://www.cine21.com/ http://movie.naver.com/ http://movie.daum.net/ http://www.movist.com/ http://www.maxmovie.com/ Edited by Hitman-Reloaded, Nov 10 2011, 02:07 PM.

The Thieves In order to let things cool down from their latest heist, Popeye and his group of thieves go to Macao on a job. But the mastermind behind this job is none other than Popeye’s old partner Macao Park, who escaped with 68kg of gold several years ago on their last job together. Macao Park brought Chinese thieves as well but little did they know what Macao Park planned for each one of them. But his plan takes an unexpected turn when Popeye brings Pepsi, an old flame of Macao Park, to settle the old score. The thieves’ target is a $20 million diamond known as ‘Tear of the Sun’, kept safely away in a casino, brought there to be sold by a notorious Chinese fence. While working together to steal this fabled diamond, they all have their own agenda to keep the diamond for themselves. But who will succeed and live to see another day? http://www.showbox.co.kr/ |

Finally a update on Choi Dong hoon's upcoming The Thieves set to go into production April or May. Casting news is finally hitting the Korean entertainment sites, but no one has OFFICIALLY signed on the dotted line yet. Kim Yoon-seok who has worked with Choi Dong hoon on Jeon Woo Chi : The Taoist Wizard, Tazza - War of the Flower and The Big Swindle has shown interest in the project. Kim Hye-soo who also appeared in Choi Dong hoon's Tazza - War of the Flower is considering a role too. Jeon Ji-hyeon is bouncing back after the ill fated Blood The Last Vampire. Since The Uninvited (2003) she has been in hit or miss projects since. She also is also looking to come on board. If she does, it should be interesting. Last.... Lee Jeong-jae last seen in The Housemaid, and who worked with Jeon Ji-hyeon in Il Mare (2000) is looking to join also. Once casting becomes official, I will updated the casting line-up ![]() NEWS COVERAGE NEWS COVERAGE |

Interesting, so I guess this will be Korean and a China/Hong Kong co-production. I wonder who are they going to cast for the Chinese roles. |
