On February 1st, a source from the film confirmed, "It is true that IU will be starring in the film."
Earlier in August 2020, it was announced that the director who won the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival with “Shoplifters”, will work on his first Korean film. Song Kang Ho, Kang Dong Won, and Bae Doona will play the lead roles in the upcoming film.
“Broker” will tell a story around baby boxes, which were set up for people who can no longer take care of their babies and release babies anonymously. Director Koreeda Hirokazu revealed that he had started plans for “Broker” five years ago and met with members of the production team in Korea to make the film.
Zip Cinema, which produced the films "#ALIVE", "The Most Ordinary Love", "Default", "Master", and "The Priests" will be in charge of production, while CJ ENM will invest in and distribute the films. Currently, a screenplay is being written for "Broker" and the film will start shooting this year./dreamers.id
