Chinese television production company Linmon Pictures is deepening its ties with the Thai entertainment industry, announcing two upcoming projects: “Under the Skin,” a Thai remake of popular Chinese series, alongside “The Fairest Lady,” marking Linmon’s debut Thai production. The projects were announced at a panel discussion on March 12 at Hong Kong’s FilMart.
During last year’s FilMart, Linmon Pictures revealed its initiative to adapt its successful female-led contemporary drama “Nothing but Thirty” in Thailand, Indonesia and Hong Kong, having previously licensed the remake rights to Korean pay TV network JTBC.
Zhou Yuan, co-founder and executive vice president of Linmon Pictures, highlighted the company’s strategic decision to prioritize the region as their initial target market for international expansion, citing two key factors: the abundance of top-tier talent in the area and Thailand’s growing significance in the global media landscape. The company has partnered with Napassarin Prompila, known as the “Thai remake queen” and founder of Halo Prods.
Actors Ananda Everingham, Margie Rasri, Mint Chalida and Mookda Narinrak comprise the A-list cast for the Thai remake of “Nothing but Thirty.” “In the beginning, I was supposed to be one of the producers, but I loved the content so much that when they offered me the character, I couldn’t turn it down,” Everingham said at the panel of “Nothing but Thirty.” “I wanted to be somehow a part of this amazing story.
“With collaborations like this, it opens up the market to different genres,” added Everingham. “Maybe we can work on a big Thai sci-fi epic next.”
