Drawn to the film by director Chookiat “Matthew” Sakveerakul’s immense passion, Taylor recalls, “He was just so intuitive in the way he was telling his vision and just everything. He was so passionate, and I told him ‘You know what I want? To be a part of your passion. I wanna be in whatever you’ve seen,’” she says.

Kong (War Wanarat) – The Mysterious Resident

Though Kong has no recollection of his childhood, his father fiercely protects any information about it. As a sci-fi enthusiast, War was thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking project. He shared his excitement, “I was over the moon. When Matthew first contacted me and mentioned the word ‘sci-fi,’ I told my manager, ‘Let’s do it!’ My team then said, ‘Calm down! Let’s look at the script and contract first, shall we?’ and I was like, ‘I’ve got to. I’ve just gotta be in this film.’”

Nina Nutthatcha Padovan plays Valen, Stella’s courageous daughter who joins the mission to rescue her grandfather.
