Nuntha, even in her death still worries about her 3 nieces and nephews and how will they survive on their own so she continues to care for them as a ghost.

When Police Colonel Sumet, Chai’s superior officer finds out that one of his agents had peculiarly died, he started the investigation. He was astonished to find that the one raising these children is actually a ghost of their aunt Nuntha.

In the year 1821, King Badin and professor Sau were obsessed with making the superb traditional Mohn hill-tribe drum. The story circled for a while that during the making of the drum the band broke up and King Badin’s child, Tip died of a strange illness. In time their story was forgotten.

60 years later, teacher Duang inherited the drum from King Badin. Many revered this drum as an instrument with a spirit that protects the musicians. If any musician pledge their allegiance to the spirit of the drum, they must honor their pledge or suffer ill fate.

He was so eager to learn that he secretly practiced during the night. One night he met a young girl name Tip. She saw his determination and she started to teach him.

They grew close and fall in love. Deputy Chief of the town wanted the drum for himself and sent some people to confiscate it. Duang fought them off but have to agree on drumming contest. She entered Ping and he won. But the Deputy Chief would not give up the drum so he tried to take it by force. That was a big mistake. Ping found out later that the drums are made out of Tip’s skin.

'Duelist' to hit U.K cinemas

Contender Entertainment Group, have announced the UK theatrical release of ‘Duelist’. It's an interesting choice of movie to make, as it is relatively unknown in the west, and has had some rather mixed reviews in Asia. The general consensus there has been that it looks stunning, but at times the convoluted plot could be a little directionless and confusing.

Synopsis: "Detective Namsoon goes undercover with her partner Ahn to investigate the influx of counterfeit money into their countries economy . But when all the prime suspects are killed, the case becomes a much deeper mystery. She discovers one loyal henchman, Sad Eyes, a swordsman with a pale blank face, is covering up a corrupt ministers tracks. Namsoon and Sad Eyes confront each other in a series of duels – tirelessly chasing, and dodging each other. Inevitably, they fall headlong in love – and their forbidden enchantment blossoms. Each struggles to reconcile the conflict between love and obligation to duty, as they square off to meet each other in one last truly epic duel."

There is no U.K website for the film as yet, so we have included the link to the Japanese one for now. ‘Duelist’ opens in the U.K on March 30th 2007. [Source: Film Asylum] ‘Duelist’ (Japanese Site)

'Naresuan' emerges as two-parter

Well this is a turn up. According to ‘Variety asia’ Director Chatrichalerm Yukol has so much material in the can, he has decided to break his forthcoming Thai epic "The Legend of King Naresuan" into two separate movies. In a novel marketing twist, both films will arrive in theaters simultaneously.

The release has also been pushed back from Dec 21 to Jan 18, 2007 to coincide with the Thai Army Day. The two movies feature related-yet-independent storylines, with the titular 16th century king as the central character of both. “Audiences can watch the two films successively, or they may choose to see either of them. The life of King Naresuan is packed with interesting events, from his childhood years spent as a hostage in Burma to his campaign to restore freedom to the Kingdom of Ayutthaya,” Yukol said.

If they are splitting the film into two, that must mean these movies are going to be seriously epic, and LONG.

Rhona Mitra joins - 'Doomsday'

Rhona Mitra, known for her work on ABC's "Boston Legal" and "The Practice," has signed on to star in the futuristic action thriller "Doomsday." The Rogue Pictures project will be writer/director Neil Marshall's follow-up to his women-in-distress horror "The Descent."

Production is due to begin in early 2007. "Doomsday" is set three decades after a lethal virus tore through a major country, leading to the country's walling off. When the virus, known as the Reaper, resurfaces in another country, an elite group is dispatched to the infected country to find a cure.

Mitra plays the leader of the elite group. Mitra next appears in the horror movie "Skinwalkers" and New Line's Jim Carrey thriller "The Number 23." The plot sounds rather '28 days later', but the film is apparently more sci-fi than horror based.

Malaysian Horror 'Nephesh Seed' becomes 'Seed of Darkness'

We originally covered the Malaysian Horror movie 'Nephesh Seed', the first ever full-length Chinese language feature film to be made in that country, way back on August 17th. Now we've discovered it has undergone an eleventh hour name change to become 'Seed of Darkness.' Perhaps the studio decided 'Nephesh Seed' wasn't a particularly inspiring title to entice Horror fans. The story deals with the life of a single mother, who undergoes a medical procedure known as in-vitro fertilisation in Singapore, to have a child of her own. Five years later, she moves into a new apartment and she notices that her child begins to behave oddly. Her fears begin to mount when she finds her child frequently talking to himself in the presence of a shadowy figure. Along with news on the name change, we have tracked down the film poster, and the first trailer for the flick. Both are looking good. Movie opens in December.

Summer opening for Neil Gaiman's - 'Stardust'

Fresh news in on the upcoming Fantasy ‘Stardust’ from the man himself. Via his official site, Gaiman has revealed that senior execs at Paramount saw a rough cut of the film two weeks ago, and decided that it was strong enough to be a "summer tentpole" movie. The opening date has been moved from March 2007 to July 2007. That goes a long way to say they must have a hell of a lot of confidence in the films ability to compete against other studios heavy hitting summer releases. With Gaiman’s writing talent, and the stella cast (including Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer) we could be in for a real fantasy classic next summer.

Catling to transform ‘Tomo’ for the big screen

The feature version of “Tomo,” an award-winning short film by filmmaker Paul Catling, is set to start shooting in the spring. The film won both the Short Film Award at Sundance Film Festival and the Grand Jury Prize at the Boston Independent Film Festival in 2004. It features an angry, sometime drunken astronaut who is marooned on bleak icy planet with no one but a mischievous cyborg called TOMO as sole companion. The brilliantly crafted film mixes live action with CGI. The CG character, TOMO (”companion” in Japanese) is driven by motion capture data recorded at Artem Digital to match moves filmed on location in Iceland. The robot TOMO is seen full screen, often directly interacting with the human character. The film demonstrates the ability of motion capture to imbue life into CG characters. If the story's as good as the effects, this could be brilliant. For a taster of what may be to come, you can take a look at a clip from the original short film here.
