Summary:(Credit Ethaicd)
Yai Bua is in a dilemma, she is unemployed and betrayed. In despair, she returns to her hometown where her family is her last hope. On her arrival, she finds her parents and sister are gone. When Yai Bua is hopeless, the only person she thinks of is Pimarn, her boyfriend. As Yai Bua doesn’t hear any news from Pimarn and has to handle the troubles alone, she ends up hanging herself on a big tree near the graveyard in her hometown. But the wrong-doing she has done from her past life to this life causes her spirit to possess at the tree waiting for Pimarn and her own redemption.
Every scene that she has to star in for the movie “Nang Takien” has been nothing but scary. Yui tries to keep cool under pressure and not be scared, but for the scene where they filmed in an abandoned house in Supanburi is too much. The house belonged to a person who committed suicide by hanging themself and since then no one has lived there. This caused much fright for Yui since she had to film this scene alone.
“In this movie my character is Yai Bua, a prim and proper girl from a different province who moves to Bangkok to find work. After being laid off, I went back home but all my family, my father, mother and siblings had died. Yai Bua has to live alone. As for the house we filmed in, the director scouted for this location in Supanburi. It was an abandoned house where the owner died there also, I thought they were just kidding.
I asked the man who was taking care of the house and he said the house was abandoned for 10 years now. No one lived there since the owner hung themself. The man tried to sell the house but no one would buy it, others stayed there once but couldn’t make it through the night. They met with things they didn’t want to. I immediately prayed and ask the owner for forgiveness. The atmosphere was quite scary even though we were filming during the day. The house itself wasn’t very old, the man took care of the house but everything inside was still the same as when the owner left it.
In this scene I’m alone, my emotions at the time were both stressful and sorrowful. In the house there was only the director, his assistant and the cameraman because they wanted me to have time to build my emotions. However I couldn’t really focus because of the way the crew did the lighting it made it more gruesome. I remember distinctly when we were filming I heard some things falling that were very loud. The director ordered a cut and when the crew went to check it out, there was nothing there. At this point we were all looking at each other but no one said anything until we finished filming. I admit I was really frightened, but I prayed to the spirits and hope that they understood we were just there to work and not destroy anything or do anything bad.
Please go watch the movie when it’s in theaters on June 17.”
Nang Takien, a new movie by Group 4 Production only started filming for a bit but hot commodity actress “Yui Jiranan” has become frightened with being bound and wrapped, we don’t know if this anything to do with an omen or not.
“When I was contacted by the director, Khun Saiyon Srisawas, he told me he was planning on making this movie as a full out horror movie and not a comedy like he used to. Additionally he said he would be directing this movie once again.” Read the rest of this entry »
Yui has confirmed that she is no longer in the lakorn “Duay Raeng Atitarn.” Reason being that she cannot give time to that lakorn because currently she is filming the movie “Nang Takien.” In addition to that, she has accepted to play in a new lakorn “Mae Sri Prai.” The queue for Nang Takien is Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and after that finishes Mae Sri Prai takes over those slots for her. Duay Raeng Atitarn films Wednesday-Saturday so Yui cannot have time to do both therefore she turned down the role in that lakorn.
Thus, I will no longer be updating news regarding Duay Raeng Atitarn since Yui is not in that lakorn. But I’m happy for her new lakorn. I think it is a remake of the lakorn played by Dodo Yuthapichai & Tai Saitarn although I’m not sure of the storyline. I will keep you posted on futher developments.
Group 4 Production held an opening ceremony for the new movie “Nang Takien.” The movie is directed by Saiyon Srisawas and stars Yui Jiranan & Oak Pirapan. They held the ceremony at the actual filming site, Sarakaewsrisunpetch Temple in Supanburi.
