Under development by the company responsible for the rather excellent disaster film Haeundae<\/em> (South Korea-2009; dir. Je-gyun Yun), Sector 7<\/em> has been long promised (see this previous Backbrain article<\/a>), but now appears to be in production. At any rate, Kaiju Search-Robot Avery has dug up a very suggestive synopsis and some production images that create a strange image of the monster plaguing Sector 7.<\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\n

In “Sector 7”, an\u00a0underwater oil field located south of Jeju Island,\u00a0Hae-jun is working as a marine equipment\u00a0manager on an\u00a0oil prospecting ship called\u00a0Eclipse. Subsequently joining the crew is\u00a0Jeong-man, a former colleague of Hae-jun’s father, assigned to Eclipse as captain. Though his job is to oversee the withdrawal of the ship, he suggests conducting some drilling one last time.<\/p>\n

After three weeks\u00a0of preparation, Hae-jun takes the new recruit\u00a0underwater, but he sinks to the bottom of the sea when the equipment fails. Shortly thereafter crew members\u00a0begin to turn up dead, one by one,\u00a0their bodies viciously multilated.<\/p>\n

What the few survivors\u00a0soon discover is a transparent underwater creature they had encountered once before. The viral\u00a0monster infiltrated the ship through the drilling pipe and has been feeding on the crew to survive. Hae-jun and his colleagues’ frantic fight for survival begins.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That hint of a “transparent underwater creature” is vague, but try joining it to this image, which is a production shot of a monster-filming session — clearly destined to be\u00a0 a combination of actor-in-suit\/framework and CGI enhancement.<\/p>\n
