Ahead of its time in 2003, Save the Green Planet! is now a cult favorite thanks to the popularity of the Korean New Wave. The film is set to be remade as Bugonia starring Emma Stone by filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things).

Byeong-gu (Shin Ha-kyun) believes the world is on the verge of an alien invasion, and he sets out to save planet Earth. Convinced that the head of a chemical production company (Baek Yun-shik) is the aliens’ leader, Byeong-gu kidnaps and tortures him, hoping the “alien” will confess to the crimes and call off the planned destruction of Earth.
