| Korean director, Park Chul-Soo dies in crash Posted: 20 Feb 2013 12:00 AM PST SOUTH KOREA (Reuters) -- Korean film professionals and cinemagoers are in mourning after veteran film director Park Chul-soo died from a car accident caused by a drunk driver. The accident happened while Park (pic) was on his way home from his office located in the Seongnam-si district in Korea on 19 February. As soon as the news spread, fans and celebrities were seen making their way to the Seoul National University Bundang hospital where Park's body was brought to. Those in attendance, apart from his family members were the movers and shakers in the Korean entertainment industry including Venice-winning auteur Kim Ki-duk, veteran film critic Jeon Chan-il, award-winning director Lee Sang-woo and actress Kim Na-mi. Jeon Chan-il, former programmer at the Busan International Film Festival [BIFF] and the current deputy head of the Asian Film Market also expressed his sorrow at the director's untimely death. "His 301 302 was the first movie which provided us with a new paradigm of Korean cinema. I will miss his vigorous personality and films. He would have made films for at least twenty years more if he hadn`t been taken from us." Park Chul-soo, who died at the age of 64, is considered to be one of the most important Korean filmmakers of the 1980s and 90s after his directorial debut in 1979 The Rain That Falls Every Night, which brought him with best newcomer award at the 16th Paeksang Arts Awards. With 301 302, about two extraordinary women living next door, Park recently signed a remake deal with the Hollywood indie film studio Moonstone Entertainment. The U.S. version will be released under the new title Compulsion. His latest movie B.E.D grabbed attention with its bold sexual portrayal when it premiered at the 18th BIFF last year. The passionate director was in the middle of a new film project Love Conceptually, the sequel of his 2003`s controversial pic Green Chair. |
| Oscar 'losers' to go home winners with US$45,000 gift bags Posted: 19 Feb 2013 09:55 PM PST LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar nominees who don't end up with a coveted gold statuette at the Academy Awards on Sunday won't go home empty handed after all. Los Angeles-based marketing firm Distinctive Assets will be handing out its annual "Everyone Wins at the Oscars Nominee Gift Bag", valued at more than US$45,000, to the talented and well-dressed "losers," the company said on Tuesday. Among the items in the gift bags, known as swag bags, are trips to Australia, Hawaii and Mexico, personal training sessions, condoms, a bottle of tequila, hand-illustrated tennis shoes, appointments for injectable fillers and 'portion-controlled' dinnerware for those watching their figure, Distinctive Assets said in a statement. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which hands out the Oscars, stopped its practice of giving gift baskets to presenters and performers in 2007 after the practice came under closer scrutiny from U.S. tax authorities. Celebrities who receive gifts and free trips at awards shows are expected to declare them to the Inland Revenue Service as income and pay the appropriate taxes. The Distinctive Assets gift bag is not endorsed by the Academy but has been creating consolation goodie bags for 11 years now. The bags are delivered to the losing nominees to their homes directly or through their agents or publicists. This year's "Not Everyone Wins...." swag bag also includes an under-the-counter water filtration system, acupuncture and aromatherapy sessions, a one-week stay at a fitness and weight-loss retreat, and a one-year membership to London's Heathrow Airport's private VIP service. Nominees' children also benefit: they get to enroll in professional all-kid circus classes. The Academy Awards, the highest honors in the movie business, will be handed out a ceremony on Sunday in Hollywood. |
