There was an interesting article in yesterday's Times - "Seattle gets a leading role in Korean film 'Late Autumn' ".
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011285408_koreanfilm08m.html
"...in its portrayal of the city, the movie... nurtured its own affair with Seattle.
Instead of obvious landmarks, the director and production crew chose Ballard's Tractor Tavern for a music scene, filmed at boutique Horseshoe down the street and used the looming Fremont Troll as a backdrop. Kings Inn on Fifth Avenue makes an appearance.
Production designer Seong Hie Ryu was drawn to historic Ballard Avenue.
"It's an old street," she said. "It's got a sense of ... humanity in it."
With more than 40 locations, the production has shuttled its cast and crew from Whidbey Island to a bus terminal in Tacoma and a prison in Monroe."
BORAM ENTERTAINMENT INC.
Tang Wei is featured in the love story "Late Autumn."
Because it's seen through the eyes of a "foreigner", unlike "Sleepless in Seattle' for example, I'm looking forward to how it portrays our city. Also, it was filmed in English.
