Lee Min-ki has been selected to headline the movie Road to Utah, which is a project that re-teams him with director Kim Jung-joong, with whom he worked on one of his previous movies, Oishii Man.
Sounds like Lee Min-ki is perfect for the role of K, a wanderer who has become lost in gambling and drinking. In Los Angeles, K has a chance meeting with Jin-yi, a woman with no hope and a rare disease who decides to go on one last trip before she dies. The two end up heading for Utah, and the movie is about what unfolds along the way.
The female lead has not been cast; producers have announced that they would pick their leading lady from an open casting call, looking everywhere from established actresses to rookies. They are looking for a “fresh face who isn’t typical of current actresses,” and casting will continue through early October.
Road to Utah will film in California (do we need to worry about some, uh, enthusiastic fans resorting to some stalker action?), and plans to begin shooting in mid-October.

(do we need to worry about some, uh, enthusiastic fans resorting to some stalker action?)
lol
Where? Where in california? I’m on vacation the last week of october!
Ah…can’t wait for his CA arrival so my chances of seeing him in the flesh has increased!
Yay!!! LMK!!! it’s been a while. Where is Ms. Langdon?
I’m here!!!! More spazzing to come when I’m not at work…watch this space, LOL. Also….MINE MINE MINE.
I read the title of the movie and instantly thought of the Road Movies with Bing Crosby/Bob Hope. I’m almost sad that this one won’t follow in that vein, but it sounds like it could be good anyway.
I do love Minki, but hopefully they pick a good actress for the role.
Is it just me or is the picture of Lee Min-ki looks like a wax figure? Too much makeup! Lol.. Anyway, I’m excited. Hopes it films when I’m in CA as well!
Yay! Though I do wish he would do another drama soon (so we can have many hours of LMK) or even a drama special.
LOL @langdon813…I was scrolling down wondering whether you had commented
Oh hell yeah, if I were in Cali, he should be worried!
hmmm… wonder why they picked utah?
oh motherlover! i live in cali!!! i wish he would do another drama though.
Do all of you hear that??? That’s @langdon813 slamming her suitcases as she hopped into her car en route to the airport…destination- LAX
@langdon,you can either stay at you know who’s house or mine(my house is VERY near the freeway to Utah. I go there every Winter,and I would not hesistate to volunteer to drive you there,my friend. You will be too excited to drive,hehe)
LEE MIN KI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enthusiastic? (yes)
Fan? (numero uno, baby)
Stalker? (it’s not stalking when it’s true love)
Action? (YES, PLEASE!)
Let the stalking begin. XD
Sadly, I’m a couple of states away from good ol’ Cali.
Hee! I love reading the spazzing when it happens. *looks at langdon*
But why oh why must there always be a terminal illness?
*spazzing in progress*
He’s so beautiful. OMG.
Also…THANKS JB!! Forgot my manners!
LOL Awesome!
Word is “Road to Utah” will be renamed “ICOYMM: The Movie”
LOL!
LMAO!
btw isnt it ICOMYM??
Good point. ICOMYM is hot enough already; ICOYMM, why that’s pornographic!
Coming next year — Bora Must Die, starring Lee Ji Ah and Hjkomo’s Comrades.
Gah I hate it when someone’s going to end up dying. *sigh* I love Lee Min-ki and I might end up watching this but if it gets too depressing then I’m torn.
I like him. I wish the female lead can be Park Bo Young
California???? OH MY GOD.. I’ll be there at LAX just to have a glimpse of him!!!
Is there a way to find out his schedule or itinerary or ANYTHING on his whereabouts while here in the States???
wow…too bad cali isa ll the way at the other end of the country….and that is one very beautiful pic of him
Silly me….just remember my SIL works in LAX…should hurry up & pay her to take pix…LOTS of them for my @langdon…hehe
Yes, yes, yes!! LOTS OF PICS! OMG!
i live in LA, california. maybe i can see him if im lucky!!!!
Please keep us posted with the details. I wouldn’t mind stalking LMK especially if they film in NorCal. It would be amazing if I see a Korean celebrity here in Cali since I failed to see anyone whenever I go to Korea.
langdon responded at #7, not good enough…..
*sob* I know!
langdon had to go out into the real world and get a real job about a month ago. SUCKS.
WHERE IN CALIFORNIA other than k-town? I WILL STALK THEM EVERY DAY THAT I’M NOT DOING PHYSICS OR ECON HOMEWORK. which basically means i can’t stalk them at all dammit.
“The female lead has not been cast; producers have announced that they would pick their leading lady from an open casting call, looking everywhere from established actresses to rookies. They are looking for a “fresh face who isn’t typical of current actresses,”
=> Hyun Jyu Ni? That would be a great ‘rebound’ after “IAL”.
I miss seeing him in dramas…come bk LMK!
You know, I want to see him in drag!
Sorry, totally off topic.
I’ll want to watch this – but don’t want to see him in anything too sad, cause he tears me up!
omg! I live in California! ^^
So coool!!!!
He was so cool in dal ja’s spring
X)
Can’t wait lah!!!!!!
Utah?
I wish he could join a kdrama soon so we can see him for longer than 90 minutes.
is it me or his face in this photo looks like he’s from wax museum? or did he have something done under the knife? i like him don’t get me wrong esp in really really like you!
Waahhhh Why LA, and not San Francisco??!! >.<
Oh well… maybe maybe I could meet my handsome Lee Min Ki if he will visit San Fran sometimes during the filming haha….
I love him in Dal Ja Spring! <3
OMG he’s coming to my state! Woohoo! Hopefully he visits SD.
