Seoul-based distributor CJ Entertainment has announced further pre-sales from Hong Kong Filmart on JK Youn's tsunami-attacks-Busan film Haeundae.

The film has been sold to J-Bics for Thailand, IOF Entertainment for India, Visicom Suraya for Indonesia and Suraya for the Philippines.

With CGI by Hans Ulrich, who worked on films such as A Perfect Storm, Star Wars IV, Star Wars V and The Day After Tomorrow, the film has been doing steady pre-sales since Berlin. It was previously sold to VSG for Singapore and Malaysia at Filmart.

Named after the main beach along which the Pusan International Film Festival and Asian Film Market take place, Haeundae tracks the stories of several people when a tsunami hits South Korea 's second largest city.

The film stars Sol Kyung-gu - who also starred in Kang Woo-suk's cop thriller Public Enemy Returns which sold to Palisades Tartan for the US and UK - along with Ha Ji-won (Duelist), Park Joong-hoon (Radio Star) and Uhm Jung-hwa (All For Love).

Youn previously directed hits such as Miracle On 1st Street, Sex Is Zero and My Boss, My Hero.
