Ong Bak 2 posters released

Two posters from the upcoming Tony Jaa move have just been released by Twitch. It’s Jaa’s first directorial effort and a promo trailer recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. According to a recent posting by Todd Brown at Twitch, he hits a home run.
Production values are fantastic, both in terms of set design and cinematography, and Jaa has obviously been paying attention when it comes to where the camera needs to be to shoot action. Heck, I’ll go as far as to say that the footage from this looks better by far than the latest efforts from original Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew.
Although it shares the same name as Jaa’s first film, Ong Bak 2 has a different plot this time around. Ong Bak revolved around Jaa rescuing a stolen statue from his village. Ong Bak 2, judging from the posters, revolves around liberating elephants from the orcs who ride them. “The real fight is back!!!” screams the poster. The real question though, is why Tony Jaa has dressed up as Encino Man for this movie.
