Hanuman, by Panakorn films has a solid release date finally - 12th Aug 2008, only a few weeks away, with the premiere showing one week before. You may recall I first cast for this back in Aug 2006, then the working title was 'The Big'.
Cool. Finally I am getting showreel footage, and some measure of fame.
Ads and posters are up around the city and in cinemas now with the date firmly set...
This movie is another great step forward for foreign actors in Thailand as was Som Tam, meaning that foreigners are trusted to play major roles in the movie.

In this case it is my friend Damian Mavis that plays a bad guy (of course) who has the powers of the tiger spirit, I have worked with Damian now several times. First was with Thaitanium on their music video, next was on this film, then was on Som Tam, and lastly (so far) was on the recent Thai TV Commercial (also playing in the BTS stations).
Hanuman Movie Poster
Here is the synopsis from www.enjoythaimovies.com :
In the ancient time before Land of Siam was born, there was the time
when armies of invaders came to colonize the land and were mercilessly
massacring population. One priest secretly gathered drawings of many
animals from all over the world. He bonded the drawings in to a book
with great supernatural powers. Then he gave the book to two headman of
one Thai tribe to use these drawings to tattoo on his people and fight
the invaders. When the land is rid of vandals and peace returns, the
sacred book must be divided into many segments and passed on to the
most trusted disciples to guard and preserve it. All segments of the
sacred book must never fall in to hands of those who seek absolute
power.
The time passed and ages went by, the sacred book once again emerged
into the hands of rivals. All stories confirm that they were invincible
because they were protected by tattoos with supernatural powers. When
the segments of the sacred book once again collide, the blood battle of
the supernatural animals begins.
So there we go, now you know as much as I do about the movie :)
