Just got word via press release that martial artist Marrese Crump has signed on to star opposite Jeeja Yanin (Chocolate, Raging Phoenix) in a new movie from Prachya Pinkaew (Ong Bak, Chocolate). Not much in the way of details yet, but I do wonder what this means for City Of Angels, the english language film Pinkaew and co. were reportedly beginning pre-production on with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Robin Shou. The press release mentions that production on this new movie with Crump and Jija is slated to take place in Thailand early next year.

The press release also linked to a short YouTube clip announcement, which shows some footage of Crump in action, as well as bits of other Pinkaew movies, just in case you weren't aware of how awesome they are yet.

More on this as it becomes available.
