Producer Tu Van Pictures said he was very impressed with Hua Vi Van because of his diverse acting ability through many roles he has played and expected the actor to bring a new image through the character in "Hortar Hill".
The film script was written over 2 years. When choosing the actors, the casting team came up with many options but none were suitable. Finally, the casting team suggested Hua Vi Van, and the director “laughed meaningfully”. Later, a member of the crew shared that the director once said he really liked Hua Vi Van because of his acting talent and character, but to be objective, he kept quiet while the casting team searched for a long time.
The director shared that Hua Vi Van has an inner depth that few people fully exploit, and it is the contrast between the image of a gentleman and the dark world of horror films that will create a breakthrough for the character. This is not only a bold move for the film and the actor, but also brings a new experience to the audience.
Confirming his participation in “Hurting Hill”, Hua Vi Van said that he really loves his character in the new film script because with “Hurting Hill”, he appears with a new image that has never been seen before compared to the films he has participated in.
Hua Vi Van revealed that he had received many invitations to participate in horror films before. What made him cooperate with Tu Van Pictures was because the content of the script for "Hurricane Hill" was very different.
The actor plays a polite, intellectual, and extremely passionate man. The difficulty is to portray the opposite psychological aspects of the character. The producer revealed that the person who plays alongside Hua Vi Van is a beauty who came out of a beauty pageant and “still has a pristine bare face”.
The crew expected the cast to not only have cinematic beauty but also have acting styles that fit the characters in the film. Besides Hua Vi Van, an actor who closely fits the character's image and has impressive acting ability, the main cast was also carefully selected to suit the director's requirements.
“The Hill of Torture” is a horror film project built on thrilling torture scenes, unsolved secrets with traditions and customs that have existed for hundreds of years through the story of the evil doctrine of the Guardian God. From strange phenomena, the audience begins to gradually discover the source of the evil forces and the real people behind the “kind cloak” of the characters.
The film will start shooting in January 2025 in Thanh Hoa, Hang Ban Bu, Ninh Binh, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The film is expected to be released in 2025 and participate in major prestigious film festivals around the world.
