Yup! When I read a similar headline on Twitch I literally jumped out of my seat, I couldn’t believe it. I eagerly clicked on the article to find out if the beast himself was coming out of the monastery and ready to explode onto he big screen once again, but this time he’ll be working with another martial arts legend, a Mr. Sammo Hung (Ip Man, Ip Man 2).
According to twitch, as Tony Jaa’s exclusive contract with Sahamongkol is about to expire, he has decided to start work on a new project that’s making its rounds in Hong Kong looking for the last bit of financing it needs to actually launch production. So where does Sammo fit into this? He’s attached to the film as fight choreographer which essentially means we will be in for a very special fighting treat.
It’s hard for me to provide my own unique commentary when I agree with Twitch’s analysis of the situation. Basically, this is the best move for Jaa. The man had a massive televised public breakdown which resulted in him becoming a monk post Ong Bak 3 (a horrible movie). To get out of Thailand and start from scratch will give Jaa the oppotunity to launch into the spotlight once again and capture the hearts and minds of fans everywhere, including those in Thailand.
Obviously I’m excited, but are you? What do you think of his return and his collaboration with Sammo Hung? Let us know in the comments section below.
