In the meantime, Netflix will be taking us to the gritty 1920s in the upcoming Song of the Bandits. Preparing for battle in the… er… wild east, our ragtag crew are assembled in the newest poster, led by Kim Nam-gil (Island) and Yoo Jae-myung (Juvenile Justice). The period-action launches later this month on September 22. [Newsen]
