The film is based on the true story of a taxi driver (played by Song Kang-ho) who helped German reporter Jürgen Hinzpeter (Thomas Kretschmann) cover the 1980 Gwangju Democratic Uprising.
Directed by Jang Hoon who previously teamed up with Song for the hit North Korean spy drama-thriller Secret Reunion (2010), Taxi Driver is eyeing a summer release and will be distributed by Showbox.
