Exclusive: Starring popular actor Chantavit ‘Ter’ Dhanasevi, Thai horror film Halabala has been sold to 20 countries, including India, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Bangladesh, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Released in Thailand on April 3, the film was produced by Thai studio BrandThink Cinema (Redlife).

International sales for Halabala were handled by Mokster Films.

Written and directed by Eakasit Thairaat (Terror Tuesday: Extreme), the film also stars Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich (Devil in Law) and singer-actor Anon Saisangchan (My Dear Gangster Oppa).

The film tells the tale of Inspector Dan, a reckless cop known as ‘Dan the Hundred Corpses.’ He is given a final chance to redeem himself so that he can return to his post in Bangkok. However, this mission leads him down a perilous path.

Inspector Dan’s new target is a gang leader named Tup Ta Fai, who has escaped from prison and vanished into the depths of Halabala, a forbidden jungle.

In the age of the inflation of the “content” of any kind, we tend to be anesthetized and desensitized by the sheer amount of it that is available to us. We rarely ask ourselves how it is “produced” for our entertainment or whatever. The same goes for the coverage of the big events like wars, pandemics and natural disasters and for the banal ones like quiz, game and reality shows. That is how the society of the spectacle operates. So brace yourselves for “13: Game of Death” (2006) by Chookiat Sakveerakul that thematizes it.

Our protagonist Phuchit (Krissada Sukosol) is having the worst day of his life: he gets dumped by his girlfriend and fired from his work, his car is repossessed, he maxed his credit cards and he still has to provide for his mother and sister. The chance of “salvation” comes in the form of the call from the...

I love, nay Adore, completely-bonkers Far East flicks be they live-action or animation – hell, some of the first films I ever reviewed professionally (if anything I do can be called a profession) were titles like Big Man Japan and 13: Game of Death. So it’s safe to say that I’m part of the target [Western] audience for a film like Hk: Forbidden Superhero – even moreso given the ridiculous over-the-top ending that sees one of the films villains emerge in a giant mech that looks like a combination of two of my favourite kids TV shows: a Power Rangers Zord and the combiner Devastator from the original 80s Transformers cartoon.

Which is why I absolutely Loved this movie!

Just in time for Valentine’s Day is the next episode of Blumhouse and Hulu’s Into the Dark, Down, directed by Daniel Stamm.

How did you get involved with Blumhouse and Hulu’s Into the Dark series?

Perlman is not only tall, but has a face that looks like it was chiseled from stone and is filled with character.

Both actors have used their unique looks to boost their careers and now it's being reported that they will do it together in the upcoming film Angry Little God. THR has learned that the two actors and Tom Bower and Devon Graye have all signed on for the new thriller, which is being helmed by Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism).

When the man gets a call telling him he's on a hidden camera game show and must perform 13 tasks to make a boatload of money, he accepts the challenge without telling his wife but quickly realizes that things are about to turn bad because these tasks aren't exactly what he thought they'd be.

The trend to remake, reboot or re-whatever film favorites from the past continues with our latest round-up of in-development projects that were recently added and/or updated on IMDbPro. Here are a few that caught our attention this week:

Point Break – Alcon Entertainment and Salt scribe Kurt Wimmer will update the original '90s surfer flick directed by Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow to include many more extreme sports, and we can only hope for a Keanu Reeves/Gary Busey cameo.

Beetlejuice 2 – Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter writer Seth Grahame-Smith is teaming up with David Katzenberg to script a pair of projects for Warner Bros.—one of which is strongly considered to be this follow-up/reboot to Tim Burton's 1988 ghost-with-the-most comedy.

Untitled 'Le Mac' Remake – Based on the French comedy Le Mac, Hangover co-star Ed Helms headlines this comedy about a kidnapped banker who's forced to go undercover as a pimped-out gangster.

Highlander – There can be only one-- except when it comes to popular remakes. Such is the case with this fantasy favorite now that 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo signed on to direct the latest version from Summit Entertainment.

13 – The Last Exorcist director Daniel Stamm is on board to direct this remake of the Thai horror film 13: Game of Death, which centers on a guy caught up in a cruel game of challenges for cash.
