Filming is now underway for the upcoming period drama “Canvas of Blood,” starring actors Kim Nam-gil and Park Bo-gum, distributor Plus M Entertainment said Friday.

The film follows brothers Prince Suyang (played by Kim) and Prince Anpyeong (Park) during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), who clash over conflicting views on desire and ambition after the famed landscape painting “Mongyudowondo” (1447) is finished.

“Mongyudowondo” was painted by An Gyeon, a close friend of Anpyeong, which will be played by actor Lee Hyun-wook.

“Canvas of Blood” is helmed by director Jang Hoon, who is known for films “Rough Cut” (2008), “Secret Reunion” (2010), “The Front Line” (2011) and “A Taxi Driver” (2017).

A premiere date will be announced later.
