The Man From Nowhere, the English title for Won Bin‘s latest movie, Ajusshi, will be screening nationwide in the U.S. in the month of October, and now’s your chance to see it.
The gritty thriller premiered in Korea in August and was a hit at the box office. Won Bin has taken his darkest role to date as a man with a bleak life and a hidden past, who has shut himself off from all contact with the world with the exception of a neighbor girl with whom he bonds. When she’s kidnapped, he goes after her gangster captors to rescue her.

NO TEXAS????
LIES!!!
I feel your pain..am in Texas too…:(
It’s showing in Austin on 10/15.
I am from Texas as well just not in Austin.. *Sigh..
nooo!! i’m like a couple hours away from austin but unfortunately, i’m stuck at school that day! and i was all excited to hear that won bin was coming to america (via a movie but still ^^) but now i must hear that won bin will only be visiting a select places…none that i can go to! TT^TT
This is not nationwide.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
Wheres Sacramento!?
NOOOOOOO!
I was dieing to watch this.
damn, really though, where’s Sacramento???
you can take a 2 hr drive to cupertino.
I had a feeling it was not going to be shown in Sac. I was hoping at least San Francisco. We get no love in NorCal, just cause we don’t have Koreatown. I don’t think it’s showing in Cupertino.
10/15 – AMC Cupertino 16 (SJ)
Boo…Yup, yup. No love in Sacramento…BOoOoO!
Anyways!
I hope he picks up a drama to do.
I miss seeing him on the small screen.:(
Ugh, of course this happens after I LEAVE Illinois. >O Very upsetting.
Guess I’m gonna have to be a pirate later after all. :/
10/15 CUpertino….
Yah! It’s true….they’re playing in Cupertino! Road Trip Sacramentians? LOL Or perhaps Tailgate Californians?!?! LOL
YES YES YES GARDEN GROVE FOR ME
baby
ahh I love WON BIN
just saw the movie on saturday, it was awesome. if u have the chance to catch it, it’s a must do
This is ALL the theaters they could get?! Why can’t they add more? No Philadelphia or NJ at least a closer city in NJ for me……T_T
Yea! It’s playing in DC! It sounds slightly similar to The Professional and I loved that movie.
gaithersburg is SO far though…BOO.
Not DC – Gaithersburg.
::screams of agony:: DC I could get to by Metro – Gaithersburg on the 15th, not a chance in a million.
Color me angry that they are showing it on a screen in Gaithersburg instead of downtown at someplace like the Union Station 9 (not to insult anyone in the Rockville/Gaithersburg area, I have many fine friends there, it’s just NOT DC). On the upside, they are giving it 4 showings….none of which I can get to.
“Gaithersburg on the 15th, not a chance in a million.”
Especially since it’s on a Friday. If only they chose a closer theatre, I really want to see it but going through hours of DC traffic to get to Maryland is a little…
NO FLORIDA!!!! NO NO NO Say it ain’t out
This is really disappointing!!!!
did they say anything about subtitles?
my korean friend took her american husband to watch Haeundae when it was showing in the US (at the Cupertino location), but he ended up watching it confused because there weren’t any subtitles….
when i saw it over the weekend it had subtitles
Yay Toronto
ditto!
ugh but it’s far from me…
Saw it at CGV in Ktown over the weekend. It was very good, much better than I expected. I would strongly recommend seeing it.
atlanta gets no love
WAIT I SEE IT!!!!! HELLS YEAH!!!!! ehem.. im going to see it.
really? i’m catching the atlanta screening too ^^
What do you mean, Atlanta is on the list
YES I have school off on the 15th. I’ll make a day trip to NYC!!
What about San Diego?!?!?! T__T
Yes! Wasn’t really planning to watch this (in the big screen), but my boyfriend’s friend who lives in Korea now highly recommends this. Will mark my calendar now! Woot!
wonder if this movie a remake of a wonderful french movie the Professionals with young Natalie Portman….the storyline is similar
Not to be picky…but neither of the Chicago locations are actually in Chicago. They are both in the outlining suburbs
which sucks…but it’s not convient to get to either location using public transportation. But, there is a higher Korean American population in the outlining suburbs than the city so i can understand the decision…but i don’t like it 
At least it’s doable for you.. I would have to travel 12 hours to reach the nearest location for me! Aish…
Oh, well it looks like it’s also showing in Canada, not just the U.S. seeing as it’s showing in Toronto and Vancouver.
I’m definitely going to watch it
P.S. It’s Yonge* and Dundas.
If you are in Los Angeles, you can see it now (with English subs). It’s playing at the CGV Theater on Western just a 1/2 block north of Wilshire on the west side of the street.
I checked it out this past Saturday, 10/3, and it is a well put together film. It is not for the faint of heart. If you don’t like violence in your films, this one will not be for you. Enjoy, I know I did.
Omg thank you SOOO much for these dates. Torrence is a bit of a drive for me but so worth it. I can’t wait to see this
aishhh… now i have to choose between skipping my choir rehearsal for ajusshi or skipping my choir rehearsal to meet JB & GF at the NY comic con…. i can’t afford to skip both… -_-” why do they have to be both on friday!!!
It’s coming to Toronto!!!!! FINALLY, I’ll get to see Won Bin!
uhmmm.
stupid question. BUT PLEASE ANSWER
im going to the one in ny
is it only airing ONCE on 10/15 ONLY?
not even for the whole weekend? >.<
please answer…
it could be. check out their website. i know that Atlanta they will be playing it for several days, not just that one day. it could be the same for NY. just make sure to look at the website for the dates and times.
it doesnt say anything other than 10/15…
but thats the same with any of the dates….
its flushing. where all the koreans of ny are located. lol >.<
you can gg the website of the theater and see schedule
yay! i can see it in Cerritos or Garden Grove ^^ i heard this is a really good movie, i’m excited
THIS I have to see! Where my sea-town gurls at? Another meet-up? I’m down whichever theater, but i’m closer to Federal Way!
lol! do we know if the movie has an english subtitle? yeah, let’s meet up again.
oh, i’m such a terrible person! Hi, i can’t believe this, i couldn’t remember who you are. It’s been too long since we had that meet-up and haven’t been keeping in touch! I hope all is well! ^^
errr…you’re so right, we don’t know if there’s english subtitles. haha!
Forgive me.
I remember you now. Sorry….
=( NOWHERE NEAR ME!! NOOOOOO!
Heads Up!
If there is an AMC theater chain in your area, you may want to check to see if it is being shown there.
I don’t know why it wasn’t listed. But, on the off-chance that it will show in the SF Bay Area, I checked all the AMC theaters in the area and found that it is showing at the Cupertino AMC theater, from Friday, Oct. 15th to Thursday, Oct. 21st.
The AMC website is a bit tricky to navigate. You won’t find it by the movie title, in Search.
Instead, check each AMC theater in your area. When you select a theater, it will bring up the “Local Theater Details” page. Then, change the date field to Oct. 15. That will bring up the events for that particular theater on that date. (This is how I found it.)
Good Luck!
Gaithersberg is NOT DC!!!
NASHVILLE TN!!!
Is it showing in Nashville? I’d drive four hours for that! Austin is the next nearest place to me, but it’s nine hours away!
After watching this today at the Vancouver Film Festival, I’ve got serious Ahjussi love for Won Bin. That guy is awesome in this.
Watch it, or you’ll be sorry.
This movie will be screening in Hawaii on Oct. 19 at the Hawaii film fest for anyone able to make it.
I’ll be there, but watching other stuff.
No MICHIGAN!!!!!!!NOOOOOO!!!! so not fair!
ok So.Calif ….yes! I ‘m there.
haha yes! the nearest theater is 5 minutes away!!!
so. cal power man(:
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! NYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!Wooh!
Seattle <3
heh, The alderwood mall theaters are like ten minutes away from my house
I think I'll go see it, or force someone to take me if I don't have money. LOL
Austin but not Houston? Why??!
What the fudgesauce, no East Coast love? it’s a conspiracy…
Son of a Mother! You know, Seattle ain’t the only hoppin’ place in Washington. Seriously. GRRR! Oh well, I’ll wait until either it comes out on DVD or through…. other means. X)
Oh wait a minute… It’s going to be unsubbed in theaters isn’t it?
FABULOUS film. I watched it last Friday and was entranced the whole way through. This is definitely the role of Won Bin’s career. And Kim Sae-ron is brilliant.
Amc Empire 25 here i come. Thank god i don’t have classes on the 15
dang! woot woot! its in my home theater!
*CRY* It’s playing near me and I can’t go because I’m working…

I am from Singapore. Javabeans, would you know if/when this movie will be screened in Singapore?
Tnank you.
Anyway, I have only managed to watch the trailers of the movie from this URL : http://www.mannowhere.com/
and…WOW!!!
How could the most minimal of dialogue from Won Bin be so eloquent?
How?
Only through the most expressive eyes and gait that convey so much emotion and thought – those of the one and only Won Bin.
My heart almost stop beating each and every time the camera zoomed in on Won Bin’s tortured, agonised, pained eyes and gait…
I dare say this is THE movie that will further catapult Won Bin to stratospheric-stardom…way, way, way beyond super-stardom. Truly unforgettable.
Alas, it is not screening in Singapore yet.
Ooops!! Sorry Javabeans. There was a typo. It should be ‘Thank you.’, not ‘Tnank you.’.
Btw, I should also say that credit should also be given to the director and writer of the movie for having the foresight in recognising Won Bin’s immense talent by giving him the lead role.
Won Bin is truly luminous in this movie.
I could feel my heart reacting to every tortured and pained emotion and expression that Won Bin portrayed – just as Won Bin was tortured and agonised, so was my heart.
Those of you living in US and near where the movie is screening – how blessed you all are.
finally something in NY
and close to where i live:)
