Someone Making A Movie In Soi 23 / Cowboy

[ukrules]

Does anyone know what's currently being filmed in Sukhumvit Soi 23 / Soi Cowboy ? There's a bunch of large lights out there at the moment and a few crew vans parked all down and around Soi 23.

They appear to be filming something in the little sports style bar opposite the 'Old Dutch'

They have a very bright light on what looks like a large 'scissor lift' and various other lights with reflectors - they appear to have spent a lot of money on this, police are directing traffic, etc.

I did notice a film crew in the same place about a week ago but I was far too drunk to be bothered asking at the time.

Louis de Funès springs to mind. But that's about it.

No, it's a tautology.

I walked down Cowboy later last night on my way to get some food and they were filming in the filthy local store that's about half way down the street, kind of like the equivalent of a 7/11 but without any nice flooring, shelving and a complete lack of any decoration or even front doors for that matter. It had been transformed to look like a pharmacy complete with Pharmacy sign and a nice new counter. I wonder if they'll have it back to it's previous state of disrepair in no time at all.

Why don't you just ask?

Why don't you just ask?

Easier said than done, there were hundreds of people hanging around, mainly Thai crew members and I don't speak any Thai.

I guess I could have went up to the guy on the camera but in truth he looked like he was a little busy filming something.

Here is a link (sorry it's in French) regarding that filming.
