Zombie blockbuster "Peninsula," the sequel to 2016 hit "Train to Busan," has unveiled a special interactive trailer.

The film's distributor NEW uploaded the trailer on its YouTube channel, Friday, giving a peek into the big-budget production.

The trailer follows the lead character Jung-seok ― played by Gang Dong-won ― who gets entangled on a zombie-hit area.

Along with the video, viewers are given a series of choices with two options about which action he should take.



The horror action film, directed by Yeon Sang-ho, picks up four years after the original movie.

Former soldier Jung-seok goes on a mission to the isolated zombie-filled peninsula, where he teams up with another survivor Min-jung ― played by Lee Jung-hyun ― to escape.

The premiere has been garnering global fans' attention, as the previous production was a major hit in 2016. It has been sold to 185 nations and territories, including France, Thailand, Taiwan, and Italy.

"Peninsula" is set to hit local theaters, as well as Taiwanese and Hong Kong cinemas, on July 16.
