Luck is an elusive and intangible force that has been a subject of fascination and intrigue for humanity across cultures and time. Asian cinema, with its rich storytelling and cultural nuances, has explored the theme of luck in various intriguing and thought-provoking ways. From heartwarming tales to thrilling adventures, here are seven Asian movies that delve into the enigmatic concept of luck.

1. Kung Fu Hustle (2004)

Stephen Chow’s “Kung Fu Hustle” is a comedic martial arts masterpiece that weaves humor and action with elements of luck. Set in 1940s China, the film follows Sing, a small-time hustler who dreams of becoming a notorious gangster. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he inadvertently stumbles upon a conflict between two legendary Kung Fu masters. Through a series of fortunate (or unfortunate) events, Sing discovers hidden powers within himself, transforming his luck and destiny.

2. God of Gamblers (1989)

Filmmakers had called for a boycott over the rule change.

The organisers behind Thailand’s Suphannahong National Film Awards have dropped a rule that would effectively disqualify independent features from nomination following a major backlash.

A recent rule change by the National Federation of Motion Pictures and Contents Associations (Mpc) stated that theatrical releases in five regions of Thailand and a minimum of 50,000 cinema admissions were required for a film to be considered for nomination. These regions include Bangkok, Chiangmai (the north), Chonburi (the east), Nakhon Ratchasima (the northeast) and Nakhon Si Thammarat (the south).

It meant that, earlier this week,...

In the age of the inflation of the “content” of any kind, we tend to be anesthetized and desensitized by the sheer amount of it that is available to us. We rarely ask ourselves how it is “produced” for our entertainment or whatever. The same goes for the coverage of the big events like wars, pandemics and natural disasters and for the banal ones like quiz, game and reality shows. That is how the society of the spectacle operates. So brace yourselves for “13: Game of Death” (2006) by Chookiat Sakveerakul that thematizes it.

Our protagonist Phuchit (Krissada Sukosol) is having the worst day of his life: he gets dumped by his girlfriend and fired from his work, his car is repossessed, he maxed his credit cards and he still has to provide for his mother and sister. The chance of “salvation” comes in the form of the call from the...

While the legend had been around for centuries before, most Westerns were first introduced to the concept of the Krasue in the beloved cult Indonesian effort Mystics in Bali where it was associated with the legend of the penanggalan in the country. As the stories are still very much a part of Thai culture and folklore, a small resurgence of films featuring the creature have begun to make their way out to the world at large, including Sitisiri Mongkolsiri’s latest effort screening at the Five Flavours Asian film Festival.

Arriving in a remote village, Noi (Oabnithi Wiwattanawarang) quickly finds the villagers much as they were when he left as they still treat local girl Sai (Phantira Pipiyakorn) as the village outcast. Despite the best efforts of her childhood friend Jerd (Sapol Assawamunkong) to quell the locals’ hatred for the creature,...

Korean entertainment powerhouse Cj Entertainment has amped up its overseas filmmaking efforts to the point that it is now producing more movies outside Korea than at home.

At FilMart in Hong Kong, Cj unveiled a slate of 13 new titles hailing from the U.S., Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

“Our aim is to find hidden gem-like creators in local industries, and support them … by producing quality local films together,” said Jerry Ko, Cj’s head of international.

“We are not just passive investors. In Thailand and Vietnam we are working with partners but are also fully involved in packaging, casting, distributing and selling,” said Choi Yeonu, chief producer within Cj’s international production team. “And we have strong IP.”

The company’s “Miss Granny” has been remade in seven countries, while its “Sunny” has been made in Korea, Vietnam and Japan. A fourth, in Indonesia, was unveiled earlier this month.

Based on a one-shot comic titled “13th Quiz Show” by Eakasit Thairaat, “13: Game of Death” was a huge success, both in Thailand and internationally, winning a number of awards from festivals all over the world, and eventually having a remake in Hollywood, titled “13 Sins.”

The film tells the tale of Phuchit Puengnathong, a music instrument salesman, who has the worst day of his life. During a visit to a potential client, he discovers that a colleague has already closed the deal behind his back, and upon his return to his car, he finds out that the police has seized it. Furthermore, when he arrives at his office, his boss calls him and forces him to sign his resignation in order to receive a letter of recommendation. Subsequently, his mother calls him and asks for money for his sister.

Moreover, Phuchit has overcharged his credit cards,...

Thailand has announced the first foreign movies to have successfully accessed the country’s new filming financial incentive scheme: comedic drama “Changeland,” directed by and starring Seth Green, and multinational action film “Triple Threat,” directed by Jesse Johnson. The two productions tapped into the new scheme and received payment after shooting in locations and studios in Thailand.

The incentive system was announced in Cannes in 2016 after years of lobbying at different levels of the Thai and international industry. The incentive for qualifying productions starts at 15% of Thai production spend and can rise to 20% under certain conditions.

The first two successful films were announced at an event in Cannes by Thailand’s deputy prime minister Wissanu Kreangam.

“Coordinating with other government departments and ministries before launching the incentive measures, we took a great deal of time to ensure that our incentives are rock-solid. We are delighted that the process went smoothly for the first two productions,...

Exclusive: Portmanteau concept extending to three new territories.

Hong Kong omnibus film Ten Years is being adapted into Thai, Taiwanese and Japanese versions, with a range of up-and-coming filmmakers and established talents, including Aditya Assarat and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Ten Years Studio, which produced the original film, has been working with production companies including Assarat’s Pop Pictures (Thailand), James Liu’s Joint Entertainment (Taiwan) and Miyuki Takamatsu’s Free Stone Productions (Japan) to extend the concept to these three territories.

Daniel Stamm and David Birke's English-language version of Chookiat Sakveerakul and Eakasit Thairatana's "13: Game of Death," has two trailers up, one for more mature audiences, and the other for the rest. Mark Webber, Ron Perlman, Rutina Wesley and Christopher Berry star in the film which Stamm directs. The thriller opens in theaters on April 18, 2014. The film is obviously rated R, and tells of Elliot a down-on-his-luck salesman who, after receiving a cryptic phone call, sets off on a dangerous game of risks. The game promises increasing rewards for completing 13 tasks, each more sinister than the last. Christopher Berry, Pruitt Taylor Vince and Devone Graye are also in the cast.

The new poster is in for Daniel Stamm's "13 Sins" which Radius TWC is distributing. Rutina Wesley, Devon Graye, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Ron Perlman and Tim Bower also star. The script is written by Stamm as well as David Birke based on the 2006 Thai film "13: Game of Death" by Chookiat Sakveerakul and Eakasit Thairatana. Pic doesn't have any set release date as yet but is rated R for violence, bloody images and language by the M.P.A.A. In "13 Sins," a salesman who's riddled with debt and about to tie the knot, gets a mysterious phone call which tells him that he's on a hidden camera game show and, in order to win millions of dollars, must undertake 13 tasks.

Many film websites published “decade’s best horror films” lists in late 2009/early 2010. While these lists collectively provided a rough snapshot of the genre’s ups and downs during that time, with more time to reflect, it becomes increasingly clear what an important period the 2000’s were for the horror genre on a global scale.

Not only did this decade easily and obviously eclipse the comparatively arid 1990’s in both volume of production and overall quality, the 2000’s can also be looked at as a crucial one for horror cinema despite the justified outrage about the American film industry’s widespread strip-mining of classics and foreign films for remakes/re-boots and its saturation of the market with teen-friendly PG-13 rated horror films.

While by no means as groundbreaking as the 1970’s or as sentimentally regarded as the 1980’s, the 2000’s will be recalled as the decade that, despite well-founded criticisms...

Variety reports that Perlman has come aboard God, a remake of the Thai thriller 13: Game Of Death that begins shooting today. The cast also includes Mark Webber, True Blood’s Rutina Wesley, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Tom Bower and Devon Graye. Scripted by Stamm and David Birke based on the Game screenplay by director Chookiat Sakveerakul and Eakasit Thairatana, the movie focuses on a young man who’s desperate for money, and receives a mysterious phone call from a man promising big bucks in exchange for performing tasks for what is supposedly a hidden-camera game show. The 13 tasks become more and more extreme, until they become literal matters of life and death. Angry Little God is being produced and financed by Im Global’s Octane genre division, which is also involved with the upcoming Ti West/Eli Roth film Sacrament.

Back in 2006 - when the Thai film industry was firing on all cylinders with action, horror, arthouse films and thrillers all making a splash on the world stage - one of the most talked about came from 20-something wunderkind writer-director Chookiat Sakveerakul. Titled 13 Beloved the film was a hard edged thriller, a sort of death by a thousand cuts that set a series of tasks in front of its protagonists. They started simple at first - kill a fly - but each paid more than the last provided that you kept going. The core question was simple enough - if you start with small enough sins will you be able to recognize / withdraw when things get serious - and the execution...

From Broken Flowers to the highly overlooked The Hottest State to Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Mark Webber has had a healthy career in the indie drama scene (although that last feature was certainly his highest profile yet) and he’s now finally set to get his big break, but in a very different genre.

Coming off the three-punch of For a Good Time, Call.., Save the Date and his own The End of Love at Sundance, Webber has signed on to star in the next horror film from The Last Exorcism director Daniel Stamm, Variety reports. A remake of the Thai film 13: Game of Death, this one goes under the title of Angry Little God and it was just picked up by Dimensions Films for Us distribution. Check out an official synopsis below for the psychological thriller written by Stamm and David Birke and produced by Paranormal Activity‘s Jason Blum.

Mark Webber may star in Dimension Films' Angry Little God reboot of 13: Game of Death, which Dimension Films has just acquired. The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World actor is in talks for the lead in the Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism) film based on the 2006 Thai thriller 13: Game of Death, reports Variety. This news comes after Dimension just picked up the remake scripted by David Birke and Stamm, from the original film helmed by Chookiat Sakveerakul, and scripted by Eakasit Thairatana and Chookiat Sakveerakul. Weinstein Co's Bob Weinstein stated that he was "blown away by Daniel Stamm's direction in 'The Last Exorcism'" and that he "wanted to work with him ever since."...

Daniel Stamm, who helmed last year's possession horror 'The Last Exorcism', will be directing a remake of the Thai thriller '13: Game of Death'. The brutal tale of an unlucky salesman who gets caught up in a mysterious 'game show' in which he can make 100 million Baht by carrying out 13 increasingly nasty challenges. The Chukiat Sakveerakul original was based on a comic book by Eakasit Thairatana and was pretty entertaining. His initial challenge involves simply killing a fly, however, the tasks thereafter simply become more and more gruesome. It definitely has you asking what you would do for that kind of money! Stamm is prepping the script along with writing buddy David Birke. Check out the synopsis for the 2006 original below....

Well you learn something new every day. Apparently 13: Game Of Death was based on a comic book called "13th Quiz Show". If you haven't heard of it, the movie was released in 2006 and was directed by Chukiat Sakveerakul. It was about a man who is led through progressively challenging, degrading and dangerous stunts by mysterious callers from an underground reality game show. Now Deadline report that Im Global will be producing an American remake with Daniel Stamm as director and co-writer along with David Birke. The remake's title will be shortened to 13. I was a big fan of Stamm's The Last Exorcism (until the end anyway) so I have some hope for this. If you haven't seen the original and are a fan of foreign cinema check it out, it's well worth a look. By TwitterButtons.com...

Nope, it's nothing to do with the ropey posthumous Bruce Lee vehicle from 1978 (nor the Dtv Wesley Snipes epic from earlier this year). 13: Game of Death is a Thai horror hit from 2006, and it's about to be remade by The Last Exorcism's Daniel Stamm.The original film, directed by Chukiat Sakveerakul, also goes by the moniker of 13: Beloved, and is based on Thirteenth Quiz Show, an instalment in the My Mania manga series by Eakasit Thairaat. It involves a hapless musical instrument salesman who finds himself in the middle of a reality TV contest in which he must perform thirteen tasks. They start easily with a spot of fly-swatting, but rapidly spiral into decapitating motorcyclists, beating people up with furniture, and kidnapping old ladies from hospitals. There's also a short prequel in 12: Begin, and a 2009 sequel, 14: Beyond.The news of the new version comes from the Toronto International Film Festival,...

A remake of Thai horror thriller 13: Game of Death, to be directed by Daniel Stamm of The Last Exorcism. Im Global has hired Stamm for helming duties on the English-language revamp, reports Variety. CEO Stuart Ford of Im Global announced today at the Toronto International Film Festival that he's hoping to start production some time early 2012. Apparently Stamm is already at work on the screenplay with scripting partner David Birke. The original Chukiat Sakveerakul-directed intense thriller told of a man who is given the chance at a multi-million prize by completing 13 challenges. As these begin to gain in intensity, he starts to realize that challenges...

It's a question that has beleaguered generations of cinema goers. Would you rather see actor Jeffrey Combs ('Re-Animator', 'The Frighteners', 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine') star in more horror or sci-fi!? Well at least in near future he'll be popping up in yet another role this time as 'a demented mogul' in David Guy Levy's new Periscope Entertainment production 'Would You Rather'. The gorgeous Brittany Snow -below ('Prom Night') will star as 'a desperate woman out to save her ailing brother's life' by competing in a new gruesome version of the classic 'Would You Rather'? Sounds almost along the lines of Chukiat Sakveerakul's horror/comedy '13: Game of Death' so will be worth checking out! Robin Lord Taylor, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., John Heard and former porn actress Sasha Grey (below) all co-star....

Bloody Disgusting are reporting that the producers of Paranormal Activity, Jason Blum and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, have snapped up the English language rights to Thai horror flick 13: Game of Death. Adapted by writer Eakasit Thairaat from his original comic book the film is the story of:

…mild-mannered salesman Chit, who after losing his car, his job and his self-respect, is offered the chance of winning 100 million baht after he recieves a mysterious phone call from an internet game show. The game? Complete 13 challenges without reveaing his participation in the game, after each challenge he will receive a cash payment direct into his bank account. Skeptical at first, Chit completes the first two challenges – kill a fly then eat the fly. Finding the money has been deposited into his account he proceeds onto the next challenges unaware of where the game will take him, both physically and morally.
