The horror film is titled RH108. The script was written by Bui Kim Quy and focuses on people\'s mysterious and invisible fears in a modern life full of pressures.
The combination between the real and mysterious factors in the film will leave moviegoers on the edge of their seats from the very first moment. The film, with complicated details and a peak of contradictions, goes through turns and twists with a surprise ending. The name of RH108 is also a distinguished feature because it seems to urge viewers to explore enigmas in the film.
The casting, which started late August in different localities and places from schools to professional artistic centres in coordination with a network of collaborators nationwide, is slated for completion by the end of October.
The casting information will be posted on numerous websites and forums. Candidates can send their documents online or directly to people who are in charge of selecting actors and actresses for the film.
The first casting has been implemented at The Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents in Hanoi, then, Director Chuyen will continue selecting actors and actresses in Ho Chi Minh City. This is a good chance for all candidates who are keen about cinema.
Chuyen said he had to spend the most time looking for an actress to play Character Chieu Duong, a very unique girl.
Despite being 16, Chieu Duong\'s thought is as limited as that of a six year-old girl due to mental injuries during her childhood. With illusions and afflatus, she can see through other people\'s moods. The girl sometimes looks naive, but occasionally sad and cold. She not only has the pure soul of an angle but also appears to be the signal girl of the most horrible disasters.
Bui Thac Chuyen was well-known for films such as Song Trong So Hai (Living in Fear) and Choi Voi (Adrift).
