Ghost Lab director Paween Purijitpanya’s new martial arts fantasy, God Skin, is getting a welcome ceremony this summer with a World Premiere at the thirtieth edition of Fantasia International Film Festival. For this, we now have new poster art signaling its release following its announcement in the second wave on Thursday.
Desperate for money, Bangkok delivery boy Marwin discovers a clandestine arena where the wealthy wager on martial-arts matches with a high-tech twist, in the spectacular Thai action-fantasy GOD SKIN. Panna Stunt Team (veterans of the ONG-BAK films) handle the combat choreography, so top-notch action is assured as Marwin faces off against a succession of outrageous rivals. Leading man Sutthirak Subvijitra, of the MY BOO and 4 KINGS series, proves equally deft at drama, comedy, romance, and high-flying, hard-hitting stunts, but director Paween Purijitpanya (GHOST LAB, 4BIA) takes things further, as this live-action arcade game loaded with rapid-fire laughs and eye-popping visual effects takes a sharp turn into dark, dystopian techno-thriller territory. This is potent proof that Thailand’s action cinema remains among the world’s best, offering ferocious fights and fresh new ideas.
Opening on August 27 in Thai cinemas, God Skin also stars Minnie Phantira Pipityakorn and Jaii Itkron Pungkiatrussamee, with action sequences designed by Panna Stunt Team. M Studio is handling worldwide sales following its launch at HKFilmart back in March, as reported by Variety’s Faye Bradley back in March.
“My motto is to create challenging, fresh content that entertains while making people think,” Purijitpanya said in a statement. “I hope this film elevates Thai cinema and brings something truly groundbreaking to audiences.”
