Kim Beomhas been cast as the lead in Hong Kong native Tsui Hark's new film.
The movie, tentatively titled "Detective Dee Prequel", will be an action-thriller and will also star Feng Shao Feng, Angela Baby, Mark Chao and Lin Gengxin.

"I've always been a fan of Tsui Hark, so to be cast in one of his movies is a dream come true", Kim said.
