Seoul, South Korea – The highly anticipated trailer for Train to Busan 3: Resurrection has officially dropped, sending shockwaves across social media and reigniting global interest in the iconic zombie-thriller franchise. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, the third installment in the series introduces a fresh yet gritty narrative, starring Park Seo-joon, Bae Doona, and Lee Jung-jae in lead roles.
Set several years after the events of Peninsula (2020), the story follows a new resistance group attempting to rescue survivors stranded on an abandoned train route near the southern coast of Korea. With mutated zombies evolving into faster, smarter threats, the stakes are higher than ever. The trailer teases intense action sequences aboard a derailed KTX train, emotionally charged character moments, and chilling glimpses of zombie hordes in natural landscapes overtaken by decay.
Spoilers hint at Park Seo-joon playing a former soldier turned reluctant hero, while Bae Doona’s character, a virologist, may hold the key to reversing the zombie infection. Lee Jung-jae appears as a morally ambiguous leader with his own secret agenda.
According to industry insiders, the film boasts a staggering production and marketing budget of $45 million, with nearly $4 million allocated solely for the teaser trailer and its global campaign. From practical zombie effects to CGI-enhanced set pieces and an original score recorded with a live orchestra, the trailer alone reflects blockbuster-level ambition.
Since its release, the trailer has accumulated over 25 million views in 48 hours across platforms like YouTube and Naver TV, trending at #1 in multiple countries including South Korea, the U.S., and Indonesia. Critics are already calling it “a resurrection not just in name, but in spirit,” praising the franchise’s return to its claustrophobic roots with a more character-driven story.
With its gripping visuals, emotional intensity, and re-energized cast, Train to Busan 3: Resurrection is shaping up to be one of 2025’s biggest cinematic events — proving once again that the zombie genre still has plenty of life left in it.
