Korea's science fiction blockbuster "D-War" will hold its U.S. premier in downtown Hollywood, industry sources said Saturday (Sept 8th).

Sources said 400 guests have been invited to the Egyptian Theatre for the screening of the movie on Thursday.

The flick, called "Dragon Wars" in the U.S., will open in 2,000 theatres across the country the day after the premier event, the largest release for a Korean film in the country.

The action movie, which has drawn fire for its weak plot, has nevertheless received enthusiastic support from South Korean moviegoers because of its very detailed computer graphics.

The movie, about a legendary Korean dragon called "Imoogi," stars American actors.
Director Shim Hyung-rae and the cast are to attend a reception after the screening.
