Producer and director Prachya Pinkaev this year, together with Hollywood, intends to create a project called “White Elephant” (Elephant White). The English-language film, starring Djimon Hounsou, is scheduled to begin production in March 2010 in Thailand. A guru will work with Pinkaev on a film about a hitman facing a midlife crisis. Panna Rittikrai.
“Ong-Bak 3,” with director and action superstar Thatchakorn "Tony Jaa" Yirum, according to Sahamongkol Film International, will cost the company more than 100 million Thai baht (just over $3 million). The third part of the fighting franchise is guaranteed to appear this year.
The next project of Tony Jaa and his female counterpart Jija Yanin Vismistananda will be a joint action film, the director's chair will again go to Jaa.
The head of Sahamongkol, Somsak Techarattanaprasert, has also given the go-ahead for Jija and Tony to work on foreign projects, at least those Hong Kong ones with which deals have been made, so it is possible that someday we will see Tony Jaa working together with Donnie Yen, and Gija, who starred in the same film with Jackie Chan.
This year, after frequent delays, the final part of the epic about King Naresuan will also be released, or rather, the third and fourth parts at the same time. But the imagination of director Chatrichalerma Jukol is almost inexhaustible. Despite the epic's ending, he recently hinted that he wouldn't mind making The Legend of King Naresuan 1.1, starring children.

I would like to mention Pasha as a person who has been an active participant in this project since…
Sad ending, albeit with a joke...
