Big-budget Korean war film “Operation Chromite” will be shown in multiple locations across the globe including Europe and Taiwan.

Germany’s Splendid Film acquired rights for Germany, Austria and the Benelux region from Finecut, a Korean global rights company.

The company has already made contracts with parties in Yugoslavia and Taiwan.

“Liam Neeson showed off great acting skills in this movie, and we are happy to acquire such a quality movie” said Marko Moellersk, acquisition executive of Splendid.

The movie has gained much attention from the public following Liam Neeson’s decision to join the cast.

Set during the 1950-53 Korean War, the movie focuses on hidden heroes of Korean troopers who carried out “X-ray” operation that preceded Operation Chromite, also known as Incheon Landing Operation.

Neeson plays the role of U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur.

Director Lee Jae-han previously worked on “A Moment to Remember” (2004) and “71-Into The Fire,” (2010) and the movie will premiere in the first half of this year.
