Singer Rain is likely to make his name known to the world once again, but not as singer this time but rather as an actor.
A source from CJ Entertainment, the distributor of the film �I�m a Cyborg but That�s OK� starring Rain and Lim Soo-jung, said Friday that they plan to submit the film to an international film festival. �Given the time, it will likely be the Cannes International Festival to be held in May of next year,� he added.
A film about a romance taking place at a mental hospital, �I�m a Cyborg but That�s OK� is director Park Chan-wook's latest work after his vengeance trilogy--�Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance,� �Old Boy,� and �Sympathy for Lady Vengeance.�
There is a high possibility that the film will be invited to the competition category of the French film festival because the director has established quite a reputation in the global film world and because the film itself presents a different view of the world with unique cinematography. Park received the Grand Prix Du Jury with his �Old Boy� at the Cannes in 2004.
If it is invited, the movie will provide Rain with an opportunity to attend the world�s leading film festival and be in the spotlight of the world media. As singer, he held a concert in New York amid much attention from the U.S. media early this year and was chosen one of the world�s 100 most influential people by the U.S. magazine Time.
