Netflix has acquired worldwide rights to “Ghost Lab”, a Thai supernatural thriller from Bangkok-based studio GDH 559, the same studio behind the hit movie “Bad Genius”.
Ghost Lab, directed by “Goff” Paween Purijitpanya, is a film about supernatural experiments that transcend the boundaries between life and death. It stars “Tor” Thanapob Leeratanakachorn, “Ice” Paris Intarakomalyasut and “Nychaa” Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich.
A thought provoking movie, Ghost Lab’s storyline is quite unconventional. The film tries to delve deeper into our belief in the supernatural and encourages people to reflect on their lives and find answers to their questions. It is also the first Thai film to be produced in Dolby Vision.
Ghost Lab release date
Ghost Lab is GDH’s first title available exclusively on Netflix. Netflix will release the film on May 26.
It is the first deal between Netflix and GDH 599. The studio is a consistent producer of quality movies in the country. It was formed in 2016 under a joint venture between Thai studios GMM Grammy and Hub Ho Hin.
The deal between Netflix and GDH went into effect when cinemas across Thailand were ordered to close as the country enforced a tougher lockdown as part of measures to combat COVID.
‘A daring and original film’
Malobika Banerji, Director of Content, Southeast Asia at Netflix said: “Ghost Lab is a bold original film from the brilliant mind of director Paween Purijitpanya and an incredible Thai cast and crew. We are delighted to partner with GDH to bring this film to our members in Thailand and around the world. “
The director of the film Purijitpanya added, “Ghost Lab’s storyline is quite unconventional, as it attempts a deeper exploration of our belief in the supernatural, and whether this can be proven by science. It is an honor to partner with a global platform that enables creative expression and I hope this film will encourage audiences to reflect on their way of life and find the answers to their questions.
