Director Yeon Sang-ho shared:“As communication becomes faster through social media, opinions tend to move collectively. I wanted to explore individuality versus collective intelligence.” ๐ก The infected in COLONY are not just monsters—they act as a connected system, reflecting our hyper-connected modern society. ๐ A little scary… but also fascinating ๐จ ๐ฅ A New Level of Realism The director also revealed something interesting about the filming process: “Usually, creature scenes rely heavily on CGI. But this time, I could actually see the zombies in front of me while filming, which made everything feel much more real.” This means audiences can expect intense realism and immersive suspense. ๐ Release Schedule ๐ฐ๐ท Korea: May 21 ๐ Taiwan, Malaysia, France, Singapore: Rolling release ๐บ๐ธ North America: August 28 ๐ฏ๐ต Japan: Next year COLONY is not just another zombie movie.
