Madman Entertainmentis excited to reveal the new trailer and artwork for BAFTA Award-winner Park Chan-wook’s sharp, darkly comic thriller No Other Choice. The film will be released in cinemas in Australia on 15 January 2026.
No Other Choice is directed by Park Chan-wook (The Handmaiden, Oldboy), and stars Lee Byung-hun (I Saw the Devil) and Son Ye-jin (The Last Princess) alongside an ensemble cast including Park Hee-soon (My Name), Lee Sung-min (The Spy Gone North), Yeom Hye-ran (The Glory), Cha Seung-won (Believer) and Yoo Yeon-seok (Mr. Sunshine). The film is written by Park Chan-wook, Lee Kyoung-mi, Don McKellar and Jahye Lee.
Receiving its world premiere at this year’s Venice Film Festival, No Other Choice is based on Donald E. Westlake’s novel The Ax. NO OTHER CHOICE follows a middle-aged man named Man-su who embarks on a determined job-hunt after being unexpectedly fired from the paper company where he worked for 25 years. “If there is no opening for me, I’ll just have to get hired by creating one. I have no other choice.”
NO OTHER CHOICE IS IN AUSTRALIAN CINEMAS FROM 15 JANUARY 2026
