In "Sympathy," the women two different men love most are murdered, and the men set out on violent quests to punish those responsible. Trouble is, they themselves are the ones responsible and only one of them will have vengeance.
Mabrouk El Mechri will be exec producer.
CJ Entertainment made Park's most recent thriller, "Thirst," and Joon-ho Bong's "Mother." The company is working on several remakes and "Korean Wedding," a romantic comedy at Lionsgate.
