'The Coup' in Chiang Mai
In Chiang Mai, an expat family is caught in the midst of a violent military uprising. But don't worry - it's just a production now underway for a Hollywood movie called "The Coup"
Owen Wilson and Lake Bell star as an American couple, with ex-007 Pierce Brosnan as a government operative.
It’s directed by John Erik Dowdle who co-wrote the script with his brother Drew, and it’s produced by Los Angeles-based Bold Films, which previously backed the Bangkok crime drama “Only God Forgives”.
Production services are being provided by Living Films, which previously did “The Hangover Part II”.
“The producers of ‘The Coup’ had a wide choice of countries in which they could have based this production,” Living Films’ Chris Lowenstein told The Hollywood Reporter. “The fact that they chose Thailand is a great testament to the skills of the Thai crews and the resources that Thailand offers. We are delighted to help bring this project to the screen.”
