Netflix has today announced the production of its first Korean language animated film ‘Lost In Starlight’ starring the voices of Kim Tae-ri and Hong Kyung.
The duo was recently seen together in talk-of-the-town K-horror series ‘Revenant’ and the chemistry between the two won the audience’s hearts. In ‘Lost in Starlight’, they lend their voices to the roles of astronaut Nan-young and musician Jay, who embark on the longest-ever long-distance relationship — one that bridges Earth and Mars.
Kim Tae-ri (‘The Spacesweepers’, ‘Twenty Five Twenty One’, ‘Alienoid’) makes her first foray into voice-acting as scientist Nan-young, whose astronaut mom failed to return to Earth when things went awry during her Mars probe. Nan-young has always dreamed of exploring space too, and longs to go to Mars in hopes of finding a trace of her mom.
Her dream comes true when she is selected as one of the astronauts for a Mars probe project. Before she blasts off though, she meets Jay, a musician who also fixes retro sound instruments. Jay is portrayed by Hong, known for his works like ‘Innocence m’, ‘D.P.’ and ‘Weak Hero Class 1’.
‘Lost In Starlight’ is directed by Han Ji-won who made her debut in the Korean animation field with her short film ‘Kopi Luwak’ and later went on to produce works like ‘Clearer Than You Think’ and ‘Recipe to my Daughter’. She was recently invited to the Sundance Film Festival to show her short film ‘The Sea on the Day When the Magic Returns’.
Han has co-written ‘Lost In Starlight’ with Kang Hyun-joo. The film is produced by Climax Studio, which has showcased K-content globally with Netflix series like ‘Hellbound’, ‘D. P.’ and ‘JUNG_E’. ‘Lost In Starlight’ will launch globally on Netflix very soon.
