Barunson E&a Boards Thai Film ‘Delete The Movie’
Parasite producer Barunson E&a is boarding Thai studio Gdh’s feature Delete The Movie, which is based on the universe created in the Netflix series Delete. Parkpoom Wongpoom will return as director and writer, with the film shifting the action to the South Korean capital, Seoul. Delete The Movie explores an ominous world where a mysterious phone has the power to erase people from existence. Barunson E&a, known for Bong Joon-ho’s Oscar winner Parasite, launched international operations in 2022 and has since invested in and handled sales on non-Korean titles such as Taiwanese gangster rom-com Miss Shampoo and Vietnamese horror-comedy Don’t Cry, Butterfly. Gdh is known for Asian box office hits such as last year’s How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies and 2017’s Bad Genius, which was recently adapted as a Hollywood movie produced by Erik Feig and Patrick Wachsberger.
