‘Thai Fighters’

EXCLUSIVE: 3388 Films has acquired all rights to Thai Fighters in North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and Japan – the biggest ever acquisition for the US-based firm.

Directed by Chaiwat Sitalasai and Tawatchai Ladloy, the hardcore action film is set in central Thailand where two rival villages set aside their differences and unite to fight against a ruthless gangster. The cast includes Chartchai Chinasri, Namfah Thunyaphat, Dan Chupong and Simon Kook.

It is produced by Pakin Maliwan of Bangkok-based Film Frame Productions and opened in Thailand on March 12.

“In the spirit of championing more worldwide theatrical opportunities for Thai films, we intend to bring this authentically local, Thai-produced film to a global audience,” said 3388 Films founder Thien A. Pham.

The US-based production and distribution company focuses on Asian and Southeast Asian films and TV titles. Previous releases include romantic drama Mai, which became the first Vietnamese film to cross $2m at the North America and Europe box office.
