Why hasn’t there been a major historical film about King Taksin?

I’m a fan of the King Naresuan movies (not the greatest but they’re pretty good). I’m surprised that there hasn’t been a movie or movies made about King Taksin, seeing as he spent 15 years expelling the Burmese and creating the Thonburi Kingdom. Why is that?

I understand the politics and history behind how the current Chakri Dynasty came to power and what ultimately happened to Taksin but it’s been almost two centuries already. Taksin is also revered as a respectable and accomplished military leader who revived a dead Siamese state and made it bounce back on its feet. He’s even been bestowed with the title of “the Great”.

So why hasn’t a major film been made about him in the same vein as Naresuan?
