Coffee Prince will be made into a movie, a producer confirmed. The producer further said that "the movie will show a different story from the drama." This movie will be the third version of the Coffee Prince story. The first version is the novel written by Lee Sun Mi, and the second version is the 2007 MBC hit drama starring Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo.
The casting will begin after the script is completed in May. There is no assurance that Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo will still be Go Eun Chan and Choi Han Gyul, respectively, seeing that Yoon Eun Hye is scheduled to do a drama entitled Lady Castle and Gong Yoo is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service but who knows what will happen in a few months time. But reports said that the producers are open to the possibility of a returning old cast or a totally different new cast.
The filming is reported to start in October and be released sometime in February 2010 with simultaneous premieres in South Korea, Japan, China, and Southeast Asia.
