There Will Be Blood
We’ve been writing about this one forever and the proper theatrical trailer for Thai action-fantasy Queens of Langkasuka has just turned up on YouTube. I had he chance to catch this at the Cannes Market and while it shows signs of having been compressed down from a larger project - it was originally meant to be two films, which means the story has been greatly compacted to fit it all into one - it is loaded up with lavish visuals and it’s a lot of fun to see Dan Chupong, in particular, playing a role that both has some actual depth to it and also allows him to show off some serious martial arts moves after being a one man stunt freak show - in the best possible way - in both Born To Fight and Dynamite Warrior. The guy’s got the goods. You’ll find the trailer below the break.

No doubt there is enough material in the Langkasuka legend to make at least two films, and you make it sound like Nonzee did his best to capture that. And now they want to trim it down even more. Sounds like such a waste.
There’s other things I want to say right now, but will hold my tongue until this film actually comes out.
Very frustrating.

looks like being unfamiliar with the legend might be an advantage. There;s a lot going on here and the visuals are fantastic, certainly on a par with the likes of Pirates of the Carribean, but with more balls.
