Global star Lee Jung-jae's Artist Studio has signed a global K-POP spy project planning and development contract with the UK's leading production company Imaginarium Productions, accelerating its efforts aimed at the global market.
Artist Studio, in collaboration with the UK's leading high-end studio Imaginarium Productions, is officially launching joint development aimed at the live-action film adaptation of the global K-POP spy project "Secret Idol (working title)." "Secret Idol (working title)" tells the story of a secret agent who infiltrates disguised as a K-POP trainee, fighting against fierce competition and a global crime organization behind the glamorous stage. It presents an unprecedented and original worldview that combines the reality of the K-POP industry with the tension of high school spy action.
In particular, Artist Studio is working with Imaginarium Productions on the story development stage and production strategy related to "Secret Idol (working title)." Discussions regarding Hollywood casting are ongoing, along with opening up possibilities for expanding global distribution and production partnerships, thereby accelerating global collaboration.
Imaginarium Productions is the company co-founded in 2011 by actor and director Andy Serkis, known for his work as Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" and Caesar in "Planet of the Apes," along with producer Jonathan Cavendish of the "Bridget Jones" series. The company has produced not only films such as "Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle," "Next Goal Wins," "Breathe," and "The Ritual," but also Netflix series like "The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself," "Brilliant Minds," and "Death and Nightingales." It has strengths in performance capture and technology-based storytelling and is currently preparing for a prequel to "The Lord of the Rings" with Warner Brothers.
Artist Studio has recently attracted attention by establishing an "all-in-one" system that encompasses everything from content production to distribution and broadcasting in the content production sector of global star Lee Jung-jae, who has emerged as a comprehensive entertainment entity.
With the global collaboration on the "Secret Idol (working title)" project involving global star Lee Jung-jae and Imaginarium Productions, there is keen interest in the new paradigm that will be presented to the global entertainment market.
Artist Studio noted, "'Secret Idol' will be an innovative project that proves the global expansibility of K-POP, a content from South Korea, and will open up comprehensive possibilities." They expressed, "Through collaboration with Imaginarium, we will present content that has universality and popularity that global audiences can relate to."
