The Midnight Madness section of the Toronto International Film Festival showcases original genre films featuring bold concepts and striking visuals. “Hope” was previously invited to the Competition section of the 79th Cannes Film Festival, where it made its world premiere to enthusiastic cheers and a standing ovation from film professionals around the world. Subsequently, at the 25th New York Asian Film Festival (NYAFF), it was selected as the Centerpiece screening and successfully concluded its North American premiere; Director Na Hong-jin received the “Daniel A. Kraft Award for Excellence in Action Cinema” in recognition of his contributions to the development of genre cinema. Following its North American release on the 9th of next month, “Hope” is expected to spark a global “Hope” craze at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival, where it is generating significant buzz. Having emerged as a hot topic upon its domestic release and captivated this summer’s box office, *Hope* continues to garner intense interest even after its New York and Los Angeles screenings. With an explosive response from movie fans worldwide, the film is poised for a strong box office run in international markets, starting with North America. “Hope” is the first feature film in 10 years from director Na Hong-jin, known for “The Chaser” and “The Yellow Sea,” following “The Wailing.” The story begins when “Beom-seok,” the head of the Hopo Port branch office located in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), hears reports from local youths about a tiger sighting. As the entire village goes on high alert, he is confronted with a reality that defies belief. The film stars Hwang Jung-min, Jo In-sung, Jung Ho-yeon, Taylor Russell, Cameron Britton, Alicia Vikander, and Michael Fassbender.
