South Korean sci-fi action thriller film HOPE, which stars, amongst others, Alicia Vikander (The Wizard of the Kremlin), and Michael Fassbender (The Agency), was released in its home territory last month, and received strong reviews.
Now, UK and Irish audiences finally know when they will be able to see it, as distributor NEON has announced it will release the film here on 25 September 2026.
Along with married couple Vikander and Fassbender, the film also stars Hwang Jung-min (Deliver Us from Evil), Zo In-Sung (Possible Loves), Jung Ho-yeon (Squid Game), Taylor Russell (Bones and All) and Cameron Britton (Mindhunter).
The synopsis for the film says: "In the remote South Korea village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok (Hwang Jung-min) and officer Sung-ae (Ho-yeon) are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village. In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki (Zo In-Sung) set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead.
"But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading. What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions."
