Jun 26, 2026
Hanoi [Vietnam], June 26: New images of Tuan Tran and Luong The Thanh in the film 'Happy Prison' have just been revealed, sparking curiosity among viewers.
The film "Happy Prison" has just revealed its first images featuring Tuan Tran , Ma Ran Do, and Luong The Thanh. Besides revealing the cast, the producers also conveyed a tense, dangerous, and mysterious atmosphere about life behind bars for the inmates.
"Happy Prison" is a project that brings together a cast of actors who have appeared in many popular films, including Tuan Tran as teacher Phuc, who is sentenced to prison for murder; and Ma Ran Do as a police officer and prison guard. Although not appearing in the poster, in the first released segment of the film, Luong The Thanh with a shaved head, revealing a long scar and a mysterious smile, makes viewers curious whether he will play a villain in the film.
From the very first images, "Happy Prison" hints at the tragedies that led the characters to their imprisonment . The direct and passive-aggressive actions of the "veterans" help to recreate the suffocating and dangerous atmosphere of prison. The prison atmosphere becomes even more tense when seen through the eyes and feelings of Phuc (Tuan Tran), a bewildered teacher who usually only stands at the lectern.
According to revelations, Teacher Phuc, played by Tuan Tran, is the main character in " Happy Prison ." With the tagline "the most special lesson plan written behind bars" on the poster, this character with a mysterious past is promised to create unique storylines. After roles in romantic comedies and family films such as "Mai," "Making Money with Ghosts," and "Heaven-Given Treasure," Tuan Tran's transformation in this film project is expected to be a "makeover" for him on the big screen.
Meanwhile, after his role in *Battle in the Air*, Ma Ran Do transforms into the stern-looking prison guard Tu. As for Luong The Thanh, after the hit TV series *Mesdames Thanh Sac* , he sparks curiosity with his mysterious image in his new project. According to reports, the film has completed pre-production and filming (35 days in Ho Chi Minh City) and is currently in the post-production phase.
"Happy Prison" is a passion project of Trung Lun , the director behind two blockbuster films, " Making Money with Ghosts" and "Making Money with Ghosts: The Diamond War." The director's shift towards a socio-psychological theme has piqued audience curiosity. The film is scheduled to premiere nationwide on November 20th.
