I Enforce (Unrealized Film Project)

I Enforce (also known as The Enforcer or by its revised romanization title Ai Inposeu) is an unproduced South Korean film project that was originally planned and developed by director Ryoo Seung-Wan.

Background and Production Plans

The narrative of the film was planned to follow a man recently released from prison who discovers that his younger sister died in an accident. Upon learning that the incident involved a foreign individual skilled at exploiting legal loopholes, the protagonist sets out to become an enforcer of justice.

Production plans indicated that the film would be shot in a style reminiscent of 1960s and 1970s action cinema. The script was designed to feature bilingual dialogue, with approximately 80 percent spoken in Korean and the remainder in English. Principal photography was initially scheduled to begin between the summer and autumn of 2009.

Cancellation

The project was eventually cancelled due to a lack of funding, following the box office underperformance of director Ryoo Seung-Wan's 2008 film Dachimawa Lee. Director Ryoo discussed the cancellation publicly during a question-and-answer session for his film The Unjust at the 2011 Jeonju International Film Festival.
