It takes a certain level of ambition to make a science fiction (sci-fi) film as the world building and special effects needed to show time travel, alternate dimensions, and epic battles against colossal monsters also have to match the epic imaginations of sci-fi fans around the world. Now imagine a sci-fi film that combines all of the above and more into one foreign language film? That’s the world building elements that genre newcomer and Thai horror veteran Chookiat Sakveerakul’s ( 13 Beloved , Love of Siam ) has to manage in his first sci-fi feature film, Taklee Genesis x Worlds Collide , with a dash of family drama thrown in for good measure.
The big budget Thai film is one of the few Asian movies that has found global distribution in Warner Bros. Discovery and after a trailer that ignited excitement, as well as a little confusion, with audiences, the cast, comprising Paula Taylor ( True Love Next Door ), Nina Nutthacha Padovan ( Death Whisperer ), Peter Corp Dyrendal ( Only You I Need ), War Wanarat ( Love Mechanics , En of Love ), and Nara Thepnupa ( The Debut ), is ready to bring an Asian sci-fi story to a global audience. At its core, Taklee Genesis x Worlds Collide tells the story of Stella (Taylor), a single mother who receives a cryptic message from her long-lost father, stranded in a different time.
Determined to reunite her family, Stella embarks on a daring mission to activate the Taklee Genesis,.
