Quick Links
South Korean studio Redice Entertainment, behind the manhwa adaptation of Solo Leveling, is now investing in the international film industry! Redice has long been in the webtoon industry, and has produced a few hits.
Solo Leveling is probably their most popular work, but they have even produced many more manhwa! It’s likely more of their works will get anime adaptations — despite Solo Leveling being originally a novel, the webtoon version has been key in creating an international fanbase for the series.

When a character is transported to another world, sometimes they find themselves in a difficult situation with the locals.
Redice will present a lineup at the European Film Market (EFM), which takes places on February 13-19, 2025, in Berlin. Their titles include Sister and Killing Time, currently in post-production.
Previous Redice Investiments in Movies
The first investment Redice made in the filming industry was financing the Thai horror film The Cursed Land (produced by Neramitnung Film), which premiered in 2024, at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
The company also has other previously announced titles to show at the festival, like The Bus, The Go To Restaurant, Samakdo and Veranda.
What Does It All Mean?
Well, for now, it just means the company wants to expand its activities and probably got a good return from The Cursed Land, or else it wouldn’t be involved in so many other productions.
Redice seems to be “starting big”. Sister is a crime thriller starring Jung Zi-so (Parasite), and involves a hostage dealing with two kidnappers. Killing Time is a horror production focused on a fictitious YouTube team who, during a live broadcast, loses a member in a sudden accident.
As far as we’ve checked, none of these titles seem to have any relation to the webtoon branch of Redice Studio. However, the company, if successful in these first productions, could also start looking for partners to adapt major manhwa from their portfolio, including Solo Leveling.
Solo Leveling is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
