Film production for 'Đặc Công Rừng Sác' begins in Ho Chi Minh City

Production has officially commenced for the historical war film 'Đặc Công Rừng Sác' at the Rừng Sác relic site in Cần Giờ, Ho Chi Minh City. Directed by Vũ Ngọc Đãng and written by Châu Thổ, the project is expected to be released in 2027.

The film features a large ensemble cast, including Lê Xuân Tiền, Quốc Anh, Ma Ran Đô, Lương Mạnh Hải, Hoài Lâm, and Phương Thanh. The production received support from the Ho Chi Minh City Command of Military Region 7.

Producer Vũ Thị Bích Liên noted that the project was born from a desire to bring the history of the Rừng Sác commando forces closer to younger audiences. The production team faced challenges in finding authentic historical settings, such as old Saigon-area tea rooms and residential houses, necessitating the use of visual effects for certain scenes.
