The art of the Art of the Devil

Thanit Jitnukul, director of Bang Rajan and other Thai historical epics is shifting gears. His next project involves black magic in the form of a teen thriller, according to this week's column from The Nation's resident film industry reporter, restaurant critic, travel writer and dart-league organiser, Ken Ywin.

According to Ken, the Art of the Devil relates the mysterious and weird murder of a millionaire’s entire family. Not a clue is uncovered; not a person can be fingered as the killer. The killings baffle everyone.

A crime reporter decides to investigate the murders. His probes lead to a beautiful and delicate lady. How can he convince the others that she is the mistress of the occult skilled in the “Art of the Devil”?

The Unedited Cuts column also revisits the set of Oliver Stone's Alexander, reporting on low pay and bruised and battered stuntmen. Also, as can be expected from this column, news of Steven Seagal.

He also says Rush Hour III is rumoured to be coming to Bangkok for filming. That's great. I didn't even know the movie was in the works at all.

Additionally, there's some rot about the National Film Commission wanting to take over approval of all film projects, which is pretty disturbing. Hey, why wasn't this the lead item?
