New movie “search／#Search 2”

Five years have passed since ``search'' (18), an astonishing suspense story unfolding entirely on a PC screen. The sequel, ``search/#Search 2,'' which has a completely new story and characters, is the story of a high school student, June, searching for her missing mother, Grace. The concept and visual sensibilities of movies have evolved dramatically as Generation Z, who are proficient in using computers and smartphones, are the main characters. This film is directed and written by Nick Johnson and Will Merrick, who edited the previous film. We asked him about the secret behind his bold and ambitious creation.

Released in movie theaters nationwide on Friday, April 14th Distributor: Sony Pictures Entertainment
