Trailer for the Post-Apocalyptic Korean Sci-Fi Action Series BLACK KNIGHT
Netflix released a trailer for a new post-apocalyptic sci-fi series from South Korea titled Black Knight. The project is an adaptation of the comic book series Delivery Knight, and it looks like a pretty cool show! I like what I’m seeing from this trailer and it looks like it’s going to be filled with intense action.
The story is set in 2071, “where people depend on respirator masks to breathe. Only 1% of the human race has survived, and a strict social stratification has been established in the now deserted lands of the Korean Peninsula.”
It’s explained that delivery drivers play “a crucial role within this system, and for refugees, becoming a delivery driver is their only hope for survival. The series is about a legendary delivery driver ‘5-8’ with exceptional battle skills, and a refugee who dreams of following in his footsteps.”
Black Knight was created and directed by the Korean filmmaker Cho Ui-seok, who is making his directorial debut after writing Golden Slumber previously. It stars Kim Woo-bin as 5-8, Kang Yoo-seok as Sa-wol, Esom, Song Seung-heon, Kim Eui-sung, Jin Kyung, Lee Hak-joo, and Lee Sang-hee.
Black Knight will be released on Netflix on May 12th, 2023.
