Bangkok-based film company Hub Ho Hin is seeking three Thai-speaking Westerners for the upcoming film, Muang Rae (Mining Town), as well as 40 extras with southern Thai looks, according to the Phuket Gazette.
Shooting on Phuket island is scheduled to begin in early October. From the title, I'm assuming the film will be an action-drama of some sort and reflect that tourist resort's heritage as a tin-mining outpost.
Hub Ho Hin had also planned to shoot the upcoming comedy Jaew (Operation Maid), starring Pornchita “Benz” na Songkhla, in Phuket, but the company has decided to movie production to Chiang Mai so it can highlight the Northern Capital, the Gazette said.
Jarunee "Maew" Boonsake, second assistant director on the movie, was quoted as saying: "The director, Yongyuth Thongkongtoon, has decided to shoot in Chiang Mai because we need Songkran festival scenes set there.
"The movie will be released worldwide, so the director wants to show Songkran in Chiang Mai as a way to show [the world] Thai culture.
"We apologize to the people in Phuket who have applied for parts as extras. However, we will forward their files to Jarupas "Jib" Padmasiri, the casting director of the movie Muang Rae."
Interested actors may contact Khun Jib at (01) 8026702 (66 1 802 6702 outside Thailand) or by e-mail at jarupas@hubhohim.com.
