Cattle Run Finally Brings Two Feuding Brothers to the Big Screen

Some films take a while to find their way to theaters, and Cattle Run took five years. The Korean film wrapped production in 2021 and has now locked in its release date: December 2.

Cattle Run: Overview

The Story

Two brothers haven’t said a word to each other in 30 years. When a crisis hits their village, they have to set their feud aside to protect a newborn calf named Jang Soo, whose birth feels almost fated amid the turmoil.

Meet the Characters

Man Soo (Ryu Seung Ryong) is the older brother, stoic only around his younger sibling. Byung Soo (Park Hae Joon) is the younger one, prickly only around his brother. Caught between them is Jung Hoon (Ong Seong Wu), a newly assigned vet in Hoengsan County.

What the Stills Show?

In the new stills, Man Soo watches the cows in the barn with a serious but gentle expression, showing the bond he has built after years of running the Jung family ranch. Byung Soo, meanwhile, puts up a sign reading “The Original Jung Family,” and he seems very aware of his brother. In another image, Jung Hoon sits beside the calf with the bright, eager look of a newcomer.

Why Fans Are Excited?

A long-delayed release, a strong cast and a classic story of sibling rivalry make this one to watch. The original was a well-regarded Icelandic film, and you can read about it on the Rams (2015 film) Wikipedia page.
