Daniel Dae Kim, one of the stars of "Lost," has booked his first post-series film gig. He is joining Samuel L. Jackson and Kellan Lutz in "Deathgames," the action thriller from Motion Picture Corporation of America.
Jonah Loop, a visual effects supervisor on such pics as "Collateral" and "A Perfect Getaway," is making his directorial debut with the film, which begins shooting next month in Louisiana.
The story centers on a young man (Lutz) who is kidnapped by a sadistic mastermind (Jackson) and forced into a modern gladiator arena, where men fight to the death for the entertainment of the online masses.
Kim is playing a fellow prisoner, an artist who happens to be a master of kendo (samurai-style sword fighting), a skill that comes in handy when he competes for his life and his wife's.
MPCA's Brad Krevoy and Mike Callaghan are producing with Mark Williams.
Working in Hawaii for "Lost" has limited some outside gigs for cast members during the off-season, though an association with the show has opened other doors.
Kim, who is wrapping up the sixth and final season of the ABC show, filmed a cameo in "The Adjustment Bureau," Universal's upcoming thriller starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, in the fall.
Kim also filmed a co-starring role in the pilot of CBS' "Hawaii Five-O" remake being produced by Orci/Kurtzman. He's repped by APA and Lighthouse Entertainment.
I think that's very good for him that he have decided to come back. I am happy to hear this news. I hope he plays good role in his upcoming movie!

How much real fanboy traffic does this site get? Most of the comments seem to be cobbled together remarks linked to commercial websites that want to advertise their services.
