"Queens of Langkasuka", which went into production in 2005, was at first called "Queens of Pattani", but the name was changed to avoid political connections to the South Thailand insurgency and Pattani separatism, and to tie the story in with the legend of Langkasuka.The film premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Market to mixed reviews.Derek Elley of "Variety" said the film lacked focus and at 133 minutes was too long.
