haybilly Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Just wait, the way things are going here ,fiction may turn into reality , all to easily. regards Worgeorgie Could there be a coup sometime in the future? Yes, it's happened before and it could happen again. I hope not, but.... Will foreignors be executed? Extremely unlikely, or I wouldn't be here. One thing I find admirable about the Thai's is that none that I've met blame their problems on sinister foreign forces. This could be a fun movie. I couldn't find a projected release date, but I'll watch for it. September 19 2006. The BIB's in Chiang Mai ran away like scared rates they did not show their face for a few days, bars did not closed, Party on.. Heck I did not see any army for 6 days... Well--don't bank on it happening like this next time--I think the brown stuff might hit the fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khwaibah Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Another Coup in Thailand - Hollywood in Chiang Mai Nov 7, 2013Others CityNews - Chiang Mai has been chosen location to shoot for ‘The Coup’, a film with some big Hollywood stars . According to a statement issued by the Public Relations Department, shooting has already begun this week and will continue until December 20th. ‘The Coup’ revolves around an American family which migrates to an Asian Country and literally finds itself in a coup. Is is directed by John Erick Dowdle and features Owen Wilson, Pierce Brosnan and Michelle Monaghan. The film is going to be released in 2014. Ms Ubonrat Kongkraphan, Chiang Mai Public Relations Officer has said that she is hoping Chiang Mai gets recognised for even more international films shoots in the future. Film Shoots in Chiang Mai are benefitting Chiang Mai in many ways. Firstly at the time of shoot, there is employment generation by hiring local technicians and extras for the film. Secondly, the movies that feature Thailand are attracting tourists from different parts of the world and giving Chiang Mai a prominent place on the Tourist Map.

anonymouse Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well I've only been here for the one coup in Thailand which was a bit of a non event I'm glad to say. If the movie is anything like the 2006 coup it's going to be a bit dull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) According to IMDB:"In their new overseas home, an American family soon finds themselves caught in the middle of a coup, and they frantically look for a safe escape in an environment where foreigners are being immediately executed." Really should have filmed it in Pattaya for added realism. Edited November 10, 2013 by Chicog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Has anyone read some of the script or can provide a synopsis of the plot?? Just curious....... Action adventure involving a family and hero. I think the boilerplate goes: Family away from home, supposed to be having fun but with underlying tensions. Disaster strikes, in this case a coup. Hero appears unexpectedly to save family from dire circumstances (cue Pierce Brosnan). Hero reluctantly leads family on perilous journey to safety, tensions develop between father and hero, father surprises hero by proving his resourcefulness and courage during one of the many perils, hero and father, possibly with assistance from mother, work together to bring family almost to safety. Disaster strikes again, probably with daughter kidnapped. Hero and head of family have to work to together to pull off a brave and ridiculously improbable rescue. After rescue is accomplished, one final danger suddenly appears which the mother unexpectedly dispatches. Final dash to safety, hugs and tears of happiness, hero is now a lifelong friend of family. Of course I'm just guessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should contact the producer, your idea would make for a much more entertaining movie. Just imagine the possibilities for the mother to make her own heroic contribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) This could be a fun movie. I couldn't find a projected release date, but I'll watch for it. Yes, it might even be better than Brokedown Palace, or The Beach. (For some reason all movies shot in Thailand have to be complete garbage..
