To celebrate the 10th anniversary of “TRAIN TO BUSAN<\/strong>“, leading international and indie film distributor Well Go USA Entertainment will bring Yeon Sang-ho\u2019s acclaimed zombie thriller back to theaters across the U.S. and Canada on August 14, 2026, presented in 4K for the first time on the big screen. The distributor has also acquired North American rights to the director\u2019s newest zombie feature, “COLONY”<\/strong>, which will make its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival in May, ahead of Well Go\u2019s theatrical release on August 28, 2026.<\/p>\n

Originally released in 2016, “TRAIN TO BUSAN”<\/strong> follows a group of passengers trapped in a train as they fight for survival during the outbreak of a deadly zombie virus. The film made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to become a global box office hit and a defining entry in modern genre cinema. A New York Times Critic\u2019s Pick, “TRAIN TO BUSAN”<\/strong>\u00a0stars Gong Yoo (\u201cSquid Game<\/strong>\u201d), Ma Dong-seok (“Don Lee<\/strong>“) (“Eternals<\/strong>“), Choi Woo-sik (“Parasite<\/strong>“) and Kim Su-an (“The Battleship Island<\/strong>“).<\/p>\n

Yeon Sang-ho\u2019s newest feature, “COLONY”<\/strong>, follows Professor Se-jeong as she is thrust into a terrifying hellscape when a mutating virus is unleashed during a biotech conference, forcing authorities to seal the facility to contain the outbreak. Unable to escape, Se-jeong and a group of survivors must fight to stay alive as the infected undergo horrific transformations and threaten to spread the virus. “COLONY” <\/strong>marks Gianna Jun\u2019s (\u201cMy Sassy Girl<\/strong>\u201d) first feature film since 2015\u2019s Assassination. She stars alongside Koo Kyo-hwan (“Peninsula<\/strong>“, “Escape from Mogadishu<\/strong>“).<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

\u201cNo one delivers zombie films quite like Yeon Sang-ho. “TRAIN TO BUSAN”<\/strong> redefined the genre for audiences around the world, and we\u2019re excited to bring it back to theaters in 4K for its 10th anniversary,\u201d said Doris Pfardrescher, President and CEO of Well Go USA. \u201cWith “COLONY”<\/strong>, he takes that intensity and scale even further, delivering a bold and terrifying new vision for fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

“TRAIN TO BUSAN”<\/strong> is presented by Next Entertainment World. “COLONY”<\/strong>\u00a0is presented by Showbox and produced by Wowpoint and Smilegate<\/p>\n
