THE HOST: not-so-secret origin

Wack! The origin story of the beastie in THE HOST (an f'd up military order to dump a load of chemicals into the Han River) is taken from a real world incident. Director Bong Joon-ho discusses it here. Remarkable and ingenious.

Thanks to an interesting political-minded kaiju-fan's WIRED review for the link to the Asia Times article.

Check out a slightly details-but-not-ultimate-ending spoilery discussion of the film between Zorky and myself at Zorknapp's Random Musings.

Keep on keepin on~
