'Crash Landing On You' mega-star, Son Ye-jin is set to play the lead role in an Andrew Niccol film in Hollywood!

If you have no idea who Andrew Niccol is, he is the director and screenwriter for cult-classic films, like The Truman Show.

The Truman Show is popular in Korea, with references to the movie made by K-Pop idols in their songs.

South Korean actress Son Ye-jin is set to make her debut in Hollywood with an upcoming film tentatively titled The Cross.

According to Son's agency MS Team Entertainment yesterday, the actress has given consideration to the film and is undergoing negotiations over details. While stating that she will likely star in the film, the agency was cautious to confirm the decision as of now.

It also said that Son, 38, will play the film's lead female role - a non-Korean - and is expected to speak English throughout.

Australian actor Sam Worthington, from films Avatar (2009) and Clash Of The Titans (2010), will play her counterpart in the film, according to reports from local media.

Meanwhile, actor Lee Sun-kyun, from Oscar-winning film Parasite (2019), may make his first advance into Hollywood in the same film.

Lee's agency HODU&U Entertainment said the 45-year-old actor has been offered a role in the film and is considering the offer.

Coming from New Zealand director-screenwriter Andrew Niccol of Gattaca, The Truman Show and The Terminal fame, The Cross will be a sci-fi flick, casting a commentary over social division. The film, slated to kick off production early next year, will include scenes in South Korea.
