BANGKOK – According to interview comments, the next film by MC Chatrichalerm Yukol, director of the record-breaking hits Suriyothai and King Naresuan will be cast entirely with the director’s own bastard children. In speaking with Thai Cinema Today, the 65-year old multi-divorced, self-confessed womanizer explained “I was going over my will with my lawyer and realized I had bred enough kids to fill a battle scene.” Based loosely on the life of King Chulalongkorn, the movie will star Chatrichalerm’s 3d son as the title character and his 8th daughter as the queen consort. Having King Rama V sleeping with his own half-sister is, according to the director, “historically accurate.”
