"Hanuman" Cambodian Theatrical Poster
Looks like Italian filmmaker Jimmy Henderson – a resident of Cambodia for years – is following the footsteps of acclaimed action director, Gareth Evans (The Raid, The Raid 2, Merantau). To put it simply: What Evans did for Indonesia’s art of Silat, Henderson is doing for Cambodia’s art of Bokator, in an upcoming flick titled Hanuman.
Here’s the partial official plot: Twelve years after witnessing the murder of his father by the ruthless crime Lord Kim Veng and his gang, Vicheat comes back to Phnom Penh in search of avenge.
Judging from the trailer, the film packs a fistful of violence, but Cambodia’s answer to The Raid? Well, you be the judge. Thanks to Paul Bramhall, Twitch and FCB for the scoop.
