"Why do they want me to be scared?" WB Thailand has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for an upcmoing sci-fi movie called Taklee Genesis, opening in Thailand next May. This is the first ever Thai movie from Warner Bros Thailand, an ambitious sci-fi time-hopping thriller. During the Vietnam War, the American military built a large research station at Camp Ramsun, rumored to be a site experimenting with supersonic travel. The plot involves a device that allows for time warping - spanning thousands of years as hinted at in this trailer with dinosaurs and more. "Taklee Genesis is a Thai film genre not undertaken on the big screen for a long time," WB says. Starring Paula Taylor, Peter Corp Dyrendal, War-Wanarat Rasamerat, Natcha Nina Jessica Padowan, Phutharit Phrombandan, Sai-Indira Charoenpura, Nuchanpa Soidara, and Nara Thepnupha. This looks pretty dang cool, I have to say - the teaser certainly got my attention.

A theatrical release is planned for May 2024.
Time travel adventure Taklee Genesis will be distributed by Warner Bros in Thailand, making it the first Thai film handled by the Hollywood studio in the country.
Set for release on May 1 in Thailand, the title refers to a warp-speed teleporter left behind from the Cold War. A US military officer takes on a secret mission to investigate the matter but gets stuck in another time warp. The film spans different time periods, from the pre-historic Ban Chiang, now a Unesco world heritage site, to 100 years in the future.
