John Foo, the stuntman/martial artist turned actor from Tony Jaa’s Tom Yum Goong (AKA The Protector) and the live-action Tekken movie, is back to headline his own feature film. This picture arrives from French director Jean-Marc Minéo but most of the dialogue appears to be in English. You can catch the trailer here.
It looks as though Bangkok Renaissance will offer enough fight scenes to satisfy us martial arts buffs, but it’s difficult to tell how strong the choreography is based on the brief flashes of action in the trailer.
The film opens in France on June 13, 2012. Let’s hope we hear about a release in English-speaking countries soon enough. Thanks to 24 Frames Per Second for the story.
Update: The film’s title has been changed to Bangkok Revenge for us English-speaking territories. Here’s a brand new trailer for you. The martial arts movie receives a limited theatrical release in North America on September 14th, 2012, courtesy of distributor China Lion.
