Sahamongkol Film Gets In Touch With Their Sensitive Side ...

Why, yes, that IS a poster featuring people holding hands in the shape of a heart. And, yes, it comes as just as big a surprise to me as to you that it is currently being featured here on ScreenAnarchy. But here's the thing. The film is titled 4 Romance and it is, as you may very well surmise, a four part anthology film of romantic stories. But here's where it may surprise you. Each fo the four segments is told in a different genre - comedy, action, musical and drama - and Thailand's Sahamongkol Film has gone and pulled in four rather high profile directors from their stable to shoot them. How high profile? How about Mercury Man director Bhandit Thongdee? No? How about Chocolate editor and Bangkok Loco producer Rashane Limtrakul? No? How about 13 Beloved and Love of Siam - this year's Thai Oscar submission - director Chukiat Sakweerakul? No? Well, there aint nobody bigger in Thailand these days than Ong Bak and Chocolate director Prachya Pinkaew, and he's in there, too. WiseKwai has the detailed breakdown on who shot what.

But wait! Sahamongkol's break from people getting punched in the face doesn't end there. Nope, they are also preparing to release literary adaptation The Happiness of Kati, based on the acclaimed - and HUGELY popular, with 250 000 copies sold and translations available in seven countries - novel by Ngampun Vejjajiva.

You'll find trailers for both films below the break.
