Noh, along with directors Kim Jong-kwan, Jang Hang-jun, and Lee Myung-se, co-directed The Killers, an anthology of four murder dramas based on Ernest Hemingway's short story The Killers. Each director provided their unique interpretation of the story from different perspectives. They also drew inspiration from various works of art, including Edward Hopper's renowned piece "Nighthawks," as a common motif. It is known that director Lee Myung-se directly participated in the planning and served as the general creator. Following screenings at the 23rd New York Asian Film Festival, the 28th Fantasia Film Festival, and the 29th Busan International Film Festival, the film was officially invited to the "Noves Visions" section of the 57th Sitges Film Festival.{{Cite web |last=뉴스 |first=SBS |date=2024-08-29 |title=김종관X노덕X장항준X이명세 '더 킬러스', 해외서 각광 "독보적 스타일" |url=https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1007780792 |access-date=2024-09-16 |website=SBS NEWS |language=ko}}{{Cite web |last=김지혜 |date=2024-09-12 |title=네 감독이 재해석한 헤밍웨이 단편 '더 킬러스', 시체스영화제 초청 |url=https://ent.sbs.co.kr/news/article.do?article_id=E10010292069 |access-date=2024-09-16 |website=SBS연예뉴스 |language=ko-KR}}
