The Man From Nowhere  is a new and upcoming action thriller from South Korea whichshould be out in its native Korea late summer if not before end of 2010. For many years the South Korea cinema as in big budget action movies has been dominated by a few actors like Kwon Sang Woo or Song Kang-Ho so the industry has been crying out for some new blood and with The Man From Nowhere it looks like they have found there man in Won Bin  whom in the west may know from the fantastic Madeo (Mother) which is finally getting a release cinematically in UK.
Won Bin has been around for a little while on the acting front but as they say all good actors/actress have to start somewhere and build that reputation up and the big parts will come to you and it looks like this will be Bin's window of opportunity!
