Sideways news.
Skybound Entertainment, the studio behind TV smash hit “The Walking Dead,” is teaming with streaming-video site Viki to produce five seasons of a pre-apocalyptic Korean drama.
“Five Year” will be shot in Korea as a K-drama with a local cast and crew, and the parties plan to distribute the first 16-episode season on Korean television and in the rest of the world on Viki. The series, based on an original story by “Walking Dead” creator and Skybound CEO Robert Kirkman, is billed as an intimate portrayal of a family facing the end of all life on Earth because of a deadly meteor set to hit within the next five years.
I have been a huge fan of Korean dramas. This will be great.
There was a Korean pandemic movie, “Flu”, a couple years ago that was pretty good.
Korean “Natural City” is actually very good, contrasting the short life of the biological synths with mechanical brains against citizens against human non-citizens who have no rights/support. And unlike many American movies, the choice between doing what is right and doing what feels good usually sides with doing the right thing.
“you, me and the apocalypse” is somewhat similar but with a couple week interval.
“The last policeman” series of books is actually for the 18 months before to the final day of.
