Prime Minister Hun Sen this week issued a decision to establish a committee to produce a television drama series, “The Son Under the Full Moon,” about his life story. The decision, dated Tuesday, says the committee will be headed by famed filmmaker and Information Ministry secretary of state Mao Ayuth, and also include National Military Police commander Sao Sokha and Hun Sen’s bodyguard unit chief Hing Bun Heang.

 

The document says the committee has the obligation to “produce the drama ‘The Son Under the Full Moon’ to be accurate, with scenes appropriate to the periods depicted and with high quality for each episode.” The series has the same name as a long-time radio series about Hun Sen’s life.

 

Ayuth said that since being assigned to the work, he had met with the committee and divided tasks based on skills and roles. Work had begun to find period props such as motorbikes from the eras that will be depicted, and research into hairstyles and clothes, he said.

I guess it will detail his family shipping their ill gotten gains offshore then!

I wonder if it will detail his time as a commander in the Kyamer Rouge.

lots of old idle skulls around, to adourn the sets...  

 

 

then sit back and wait for international copyright infringement claims, what with the plethora of already films he can pinch stuff from... The Killing Fields; The Road to Freedom; The Gate... too many...

I think they should make it a Superhero Movie

How long will it take in pre production to train the monkey ?
