Song Joong Ki decided to join Space Sweepers sans reading screenplay: Couldn’t let anyone else take the role
Space Sweepers releases on Netflix in February. Before the South Korean movie hits the platform, Song Joong Ki revealed how he became a part of the movie.
Song Joong Ki will be seen in Space Sweepers, releasing on Netflix next month. The South Korean movie was slated to release in 2020 in the theatres. However, owing to the pandemic, the movie is not set to release on the online. But before the movie could stream online, Song Joong Ki recalled how he became a part of the movie. The actor has previously revealed that he had heard about the project when he was filming with Space Sweeper director Cho Sung Hee's previous release A Werewolf Boy.
Now, Song Joong Ki revealed that he had decided to join the team even before reading the screenplay of the movie. As reported by Zapzee, the actor said, "I truly believed in the director that I had decided to star in the work even before reading the screenplay. I wanted to do it no matter what. I thought that I couldn’t let anyone else take the role of Tae Ho.” It was not only Song Joong Ki who trusted director Cho Sung Hee.
Space Sweepers' lead actress Kim Tae Ri echoed similar sentiments as Song Joong Ki when she said that she had a strong feeling he wanted to tell tales in his unique style. Describing as “shy and cautious, but very passionate about his work,” Kim Tae Ri added, “Watching his previous works, I strongly felt that he has stories he wants to tell and his unique style in unfolding them.”
Space Sweepers releases on February 5. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
