Jeon Ji Hyun known for her roles in Il Mare, Windstruck and My Sassy Girl, comes as a vampire, in a live action movie based on anime-hit by Oishii Mamoru. Blood The Last Vampire, is directed by Chris Nahon (Kiss Of The Dragon) and Ronny Yu (Fearless), and Ji-Hyun’s first Hollywood movie, where she goes under her western Gianna Jun (my..that name..ck!). She plays as the leading role, a Japanese vampire named Saya, who works for the US government. And this Saya vampire-girl, is an agent in sailor uniform. Don’t be deceived, she’s a great and cool demon hunter with her Katana…seriously..apanese actress Koyuki (remember Tom Cruise’s Last Samurai?yeah, she’s the lady) is rumoured to be in this movie too, playing a character that is originally not in the manga nor anime.
The full english-speaking movie is going to be internationally released in early 2008, while the filming had been done around March-May 2007 in China and Argentina.
can you imagine how Jeon Ji Hyun with her cute and mellow image can be Saya? *shaking head*
