'Rain' builds Korea buzz

September 24, 2009 The crime thriller "I Come With the Rain" is building significant buzz among local audiences, with tickets to the local premiere at Pusan International Film Festival selling out online in 38 seconds. The film, from Tran Anh Hung and locally distributed by CJ Entertainment, stars Josh Hartnett, Kimura Takuya and Lee Byung-hun and centers on a former detective on a mission to search for his client's missing son in Hong Kong. Hartnett's "Pearl Harbor" is reasonably well-known among local moviegoers, as is Takuya, who gained fame as a member of Japanese pop group SMAP, later starring in the Japanese version of the hit TV series "Hero," following up with a film of the same title.
