Grand Central Publishing acquired the North American rights to the book of storyboards from David Kuhn and Nate Muscato at Aevitas Creative Management. The book was published as `Parasite: The Screenplay and Storyboard Book` in South Korea in October.
The book features 304 pages of drawings each hand-drawn by Bong himself that depict every scene in the movie and even make it read much like a graphic novel. The dialogue, stage and camera directions will be translated into English from Korean, and the book will include a foreword written by Bong about the making of the film and his creative process.
Bong's film won four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Film and Best Original Screenplay, after having won the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Since then it's grossed over $50 million at the worldwide box office, the fourth highest-grossing international film ever released in the U.S. `Parasite` was written and directed by Bong and stars Song Kang Ho, Choi Woo Shik, Park So Dam, Cho Yeo Jeong, Lee Jung Eun, Lee Sun Kyun, and Chang Hyae Jin.
