Grandma Producers GDH 559 to Remake Taiwanese Hit 'Marry My Dead Body' Starring Billkin and PP (Exclusive)

Ah, the delightful land of cinema, where the unexpected can sprout from the most mundane of ideas—like a wildflower in a parking lot. GDH 559, the Thai production powerhouse that seems to have a knack for turning local tales into box office gold, is about to unleash their latest jewel: *The Red Envelope*. Yes, my friends, it's a charming local remake of the Taiwanese sensation *Marry My Dead Body*—you know, the film that left audiences giggling through their popcorn.

In this hilarious take, we see the enchanting Billkin Putthipong Assaratanakul and the ever-appealing PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn stepping into roles that make you raise your eyebrows and smile simultaneously. One cannot help but imagine Billkin, fresh off his previous escapades in *How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies*, winking at the camera while navigating this delightful chaos. It really does sound like a "first look" that could pull anyone in, as if they were drawn by an invisible string of charm and humor.

Produced by the ever-astute Banjong Pisanthanakun, a name that’s practically synonymous with Thai horror, this new comedy takes a sharp turn into the supernatural. After catching the original film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival (a delightful backdrop for such cultural cross-pollination), Banjong, who claims he had an epiphany, became obsessed with the idea of marrying a ghost to a straight cop. Because, as he succinctly points out, “Why not?”

But let’s preview the plot, shall we? Picture this: a straight-laced cop is suddenly thrust into matrimonial life—not with a living, breathing wife but with, wait for it, a gay ghost. It’s as if *Ghostbusters* met *The Bachelor* in a cringe-worthy embrace of supernatural hilarity, all nagged into a Thai context. There’s something so amusingly absurd in the idea of a straight man fumbling his way through love, or rather, an afterlife, with all its ghoul-ish quirks. Could it be anything less than a laugh riot?

Banjong, with all the wisdom of a man who knows his comedy, assures us that while the main concepts will remain intact, they’re stirring the pot in unexpected ways. Because, after all, what is comedy if not a spark of surprise? He claims, “The relationship between a straight man and a gay ghost is a fun idea,” and you just have to appreciate the fabulous irony in that statement, don’t you?

Billkin and PP were not just first choices; they were the ONLY choices! If they had turned down the offer, the film would have been nothing more than a wistful daydream. Their chemistry, previously showcased in that darling BL (boys’ love) series *I Told Sunset About You* and its sequel, is renewed once again. Oh, the nostalgia!

And let’s not overlook their burgeoning film ventures! Both actors are wading into the waters of film investment, because why not add “movie moguls” to their resumes? Their labels, *Billkin Entertainment* and *PP Krit Entertainment*, are expanding faster than a teenager's playlist on a Saturday night. Who knew producing could be as fun as performing?

But wait, there’s more—GDH has a smorgasbord of upcoming delights, with titles that tease the senses: *404*, a horror comedy scheduled for November, and a romantic drama entitled *Flat Girls* looking to grace us in 2025. And let’s not forget *Beauty And The Beat* and *The Paradise Of Thorns*, which recently pulled in some serious attention from the film festival circuit. GDH’s reign continues, much like a persistent string of catchy pop songs that you can’t help but hum in the shower.

As for *How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies*, it’s the runaway hit that proves family drama is alive and well. Now streaming on Netflix and all but cemented as Thailand’s entry for the Oscars, it’s clear that GDH is on a roll. Will *The Red Envelope* follow the same trajectory? Let’s just say, if humor can be packaged as tightly as a perfectly wrapped gift, we're all in for one fantastic surprise.
