Thai Remake of "Marry My Dead Body" Starring Billkin and PP

The Red Envelope’ will be a Thai adaptation of the blockbuster feature from Taiwan.

Thailand - Thai production company GDH 559, known for its hit film How To Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, is set to remake the Taiwanese blockbuster Marry My Dead Body under the title The Red Envelope. The remake will star popular actors Billkin Putthipong Assaratanakul and PP Krit Amnuaydechkorn, reuniting them for the first time since their successful BL series I Told Sunset About You and its sequel.

Directed by Chayanop Boonprakob, the film will retain the original’s supernatural comedy elements, focusing on a straight cop who accidentally picks up a red envelope and is forced into a ghost marriage with a gay ghost. The director, Banjong Pisanthanakun, who first saw the original film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, believes the unique blend of humor and supernatural elements will resonate well with Thai audiences.

Billkin and PP are not only starring in the film but also making their first foray into film investment through their respective companies, Billkin Entertainment and PP Krit Entertainment1. This project is part of GDH 559’s broader strategy to adapt successful international films for the Thai market, with other upcoming releases including 404, Flat Girls, and Beauty And The Beat.

The remake is anticipated to bring a fresh, Thai-flavored twist to the beloved Taiwanese story, promising both laughter and heartfelt moments for the audience.
