Epic Pictures Group, based in Hollywood, has picked up distribution and sales rights for Thailand’s monster movie The Lake.
A limited theatrical release is scheduled for March 10, with a digital release due on the 14th and pre-orders for the blu-ray opening on the same day.
Once its egg is stolen, a massive and violent creature rises from a lake and unleashes its wrath on the people of a town, leaving a trail of destruction and death in its wake. Bueng Kan, now cut off from the rest of the world, must unite its leaders and inhabitants and a group of scientists doing research in town to trap this predator before it’s too late.
The eco-thriller is a Hollywood Thailand production directed by Lee Thongkham and produced by Watson Boy Homsangpradit with executive producer Patrick Ewald.
Lee Thongkham said,
This movie will bring back the nostalgia of when we first loved the original monster movies with animatronics and puppets. But the most exciting thing about the movie is watching this monster movie with 40% CGI. You will feel the real and spectacular scope and scale from Thai cinema. The realness of the monster stomps. The realness of our monster roars and so forth.
This monster genre has been used in so many territories. But what makes our monster stand out from the rest is that it is real and it has a unique ability which we can’t give out the main plot point. But be assured that there will be a reason why we chose to use animatronic gigantic monsters in the story”
Jordu Schell, a Hollywood special effects master, devised the film’s spectacular colossal monster, which was brought to life with a blend of life-sized practical animatronics and CGI.
