“3am Bangkok Ghost Stories” Series to Also Become Feature Film
Long-established Thai production and sales group Five Star Production announced “3am Bangkok Ghost Stories”, says Variety.
The now in-production series comprises 13 one-hour episodes with contemporary tales featuring the spooky incidents that take place in the middle of the night. Stories include a taxi driver who picks up the wrong kind of passenger and a woman whose face suddenly becomes that of a corpse.
The series involves eight directors: Panjapong Kongkanoy, Issara Nadee, Putipong Saisikaew, Tiwa Moeithaisong, M.C. Chalermchatri Yukol, Kirati Nakintanon, Phontharis Chotkijsadarsopon and Alongkot Uaepaiboon.
“We used to be very involved with TV production, but largely halted that at the time of the Asian financial crisis [in 1997],” said Aphiradee “Amm” Iamphungphorn, director of international sales.
“Now with the changing market for quality TV and our decision to make cinema-quality episodes in 4K, this seems the right time to make a return,” Iamphungphorn said, adding that Five Star is also looking at producing a spin-off “3AM” feature movie.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
