‘Bangkok Breaking: Heaven and Hell’ Trailer Explores Survival in a City of Chaos

What happens when an ordinary man is thrust into extraordinary circumstances? Premiering on September 26, Bangkok Breaking: Heaven and Hellvividly paints this scenario, exploring the making of a modern-day hero in Wanchai from the Bangkok Breakingseries. The newly released trailer gives fans a tense glimpse into riot scenes, social commentary, and the struggle for survival in a riotous community.

Director Kome-Kongkiat Komesiri, also known for his work on the Khun Pantrilogy, shares his vision for the survival thriller spin-off film: "Our intention was to make viewers feel like they're short of breath. It's a non-stop action movie where Wanchai faces one crisis after another, and viewers won't know what to expect next."

Commitment to realism

Kome and his team meticulously built the Ruamjai Housing Community to create a realistic city, which served as the backdrop for many intense chase scenes. In a different setting, another standout sequence was the riot scene, filmed with a 360-degree perspective that featured explosions, fire trucks, and actors set on fire.

Reflecting on one of his favorite moments to film, Kome described an impressive one-shot chase scene on the road. "When we finished filming and reviewed the footage, everyone applauded and agreed it was worth it," he says. "I also liked the slum set. I loved that scene because we built up an entire city without using any CG. We used a drone, and everything was set up realistically."

The dedication to practical effects and set design helped immerse the cast and crew in the story, making the action sequences more compelling and authentic.

Well-connected ensemble cast

To build camaraderie, the cast and crew spent a significant amount of time together early in the shoot. Weir-Sukollawat Kanaros, who reprises his role as Wanchai, reminisces, "Early in the shooting, we shot 25 sequences in an ambulance, which accounted for only 25 minutes of the film. This definitely made everyone feel in sync and prepared us for the rest of what we had to film."

Weir is joined by an impressive cast, including Mind 4EVE, Doo-Sanya Kunakorn, UK-Natthaya Ongsritragul, Day Thaitanium, Mamio-Sutipat Sutiwanit, and Fluke-Teerapat Lohananand.
