By Kwak Yeon-soo
Speculation is mounting over the wellbeing of Yoon Jeong-hee, 77, who dominated the silver screen in the 1960s and 1970s as one of the three most-sought-after actresses, after an online petition claimed that the ailing star suffering from Alzheimer s disease and diabetes has been neglected by her immediate family ― her husband and daughter.
An anonymous person posted a petition on the website of Cheong Wa Dae, Friday, claiming, Yoon is in a lone fight against Alzheimer s and diabetes in an apartment in the suburbs of Paris without being properly cared for by her spouse, because they live apart.

Nomadland filmmaker Chloé Zhao has found a new project into which she can sink her teeth.
Zhao has teamed up with Universal Pictures to join the studio’s classic film monster repertoire, developing a feature project based on the most famous vampire of all, Dracula.
Heat Vision Zhao will write, direct and produce through her production company, Highwayman. This new Dracula project, however, will be a far cry from the more traditional or even modern incarnations made over the years. Details are being kept in the coffin, but Zhao’s version is described as an original, futuristic, sci-fi Western. Themes of being on society’s fringes, something Zhao has tackled in her previous work, will course through the project’s veins.
