(Caper film)

The first still cut from action blockbuster “Assassination,” starring Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Jung-jae and Ha Jung-woo, was released Monday.

The photo shows Jun intently staring at something during shooting. In the film, Jun plays Ahn Ok-yun, a top-notch sniper who is sentenced to death.

Directed by Choi Dong-hun, “Assassination” follows the assassination of a member of a pro-Japanese party carried out in Shanghai during the Japanese takeover of Korea.

Film buffs have high expectations of the upcoming film, as this will mark Jun’s return to the big-screen after her staggering success with drama series “My Love from the Star.”

“Assassination” is slated for release this summer.
