Triple Green CineCapital and Chánh Phương Films have partnered to produce a feature-film adaptation of the Vietnamese horror video game "The Scourge" [1].
The collaboration represents a strategic move to bring Vietnamese intellectual property to a global cinema audience. It also marks the debut investment in Vietnam for the Singapore-based Triple Green CineCapital [1], [2].
Known as *Tai Ương* in Vietnamese, the source material is a horror video game. The partnership was announced this month ahead of the Cannes Film Market in France, where the project is being presented [1], [2], [3].
Chánh Phương Films is the production company of Charlie Nguyen. The project is part of a larger push to elevate regional horror stories into international commercial successes [2].
Skyline Media is attending the Cannes Film Market with a slate of five titles [4]. This collection of projects is led by *The Scourge* [4].
The move follows a growing trend of gaming adaptations in the film industry. By leveraging a localized IP like *The Scourge*, the producers aim to capture both the existing gaming fanbase and a wider demographic of horror enthusiasts through the global distribution networks available at Cannes [1], [3].

This partnership signals an increasing appetite for Southeast Asian horror IP in the global market. By utilizing the Cannes Film Market for the announcement, the producers are positioning the project for international distribution rather than just a domestic release, reflecting a broader industry shift toward diversifying the origins of genre-driven content.
