I a bit late on this one, but I just ran across it today, the South Korean film "The Pirates" was sold to be shown in 15 countries across North America, Europe and Asia at the Cannes Film Market, Lotte Entertainment announced a couple of weeks ago at Cannes 2014
"This marks the highest presale rate for a Korean period film this year," said a spokesperson for Lotte Entertainment. "After only seeing just a short clip, foreign buyers have noted the quality and scale of the computer graphics, as well as the impressive action sequences that demonstrate wide mainstream appeal."
According to all the information I was able to track down, the film is set some time in the Korean Joseon Dynasty and tells the story of two rival gangs of outlaws. One group of pirates led by Korean actress Son Ye-jin, the other a group of land based outlaws led by Kim Nam Gil.
The two rivals square off in a search for an Imperial seal that was lost when it was swallowed by ghostly whale. The person who finds the seal is rumoured to receive unlimited power. There is no word yet when the film will appear in other market, but it is slated to open this summer in S. Korea.
