I Enforce (Cancelled Film Project)

I Enforce (Korean: 아이 인포스) was a proposed South Korean action film project directed by Ryoo Seung-Wan. The film was intended to feature a stylistic homage to action cinema from the 1960s and 1970s, with a planned dialogue split of 80% Korean and 20% English.

Development and Cancellation

Development of the project was initially slated to begin production between the summer and autumn of 2009. However, the project faced significant financial challenges. Following the commercial underperformance of Ryoo Seung-Wan's 2008 film Dachimawa Lee, the production of I Enforce was ultimately cancelled due to a lack of funding. Director Ryoo Seung-Wan confirmed the cancellation during a question-and-answer session for his 2010 film The Unjust at the 2011 Jeonju International Film Festival.

Premise

The narrative was intended to follow a protagonist recently released from prison who discovers that his younger sister died in an accident caused by a foreign individual who exploited legal loopholes. The protagonist subsequently takes on the role of an enforcer to seek justice.
