Nicolas Cage is set to star in Bangkok Dangerous, a remake of the 1999 Thai film that will be helmed by the original's directors, Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang.

Variety says shooting begins in August in Asia, with Initial Entertainment Group financing.

Cage will play a cold-blooded hit man who heads to Bangkok to pull off four jobs, and winds up falling in love with a local girl and bonding with his errand boy.

Jason Richman (Bad Company) wrote the script. Blue Star Pictures partners William Sherak and Jason Shuman produce with Cage's Saturn partner Norm Golightly and Initial's Graham King. Initial controls worldwide distribution rights.

Coup Interrupts Filming of Bangkok Dangerous

Thailand's military coup this week interrupted filming of Nicolas Cage's new movie, Bangkok Dangerous, a remake of the 1999 Thai film being helmed by the original's directors, Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang.

The film was being shot in Bangkok. When news of the coup on Tuesday night reached the crew, Cage was sent back to his hotel. Crew members remained on the set to keep an eye on prop guns until Cage persuaded the producer to send everyone home.

Cage plays a cold-blooded hit man who heads to Bangkok to pull off four jobs, and winds up falling in love with a local girl and bonding with his errand boy.

Filming was scheduled to be completed next month, but may be delayed by the coup, which saw the military overthrow of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra

How inconsiderate

Could be good, liking the retro vibe I'm gettting from it. Don't know if it's intentional or not, but looks like a classic 80s type film.

Another thing is though I haven't seen the film this is based on- this is definitely good news: "a remake of the 1999 Thai film being helmed by the original's directors"

his forehead just gets bigger and bigger

 

[Wolfwood]

I hate when Cage grows out his hair like that, sounds kinda interesting though.

Nope not yet, I'll never understand why they don't make sure the first look at their movies is in a high quality format.

Well i think the hair looks a lot better in this one but most importantly the movie looks pretty cool, hopefully they will deliver as the original is supposedly very good and it's the same directors.

he looks so..ugly with it...lol

Theres nothing wrong with him its called becoming the character. Do you really want to see the same actor with the same haircut in every movie? Think about it.

 

[Kira]

cage's wig's are getting tackier and tackier with each movie. i can't even concentrate on the story when all i can think about is which one has the worst hair implants, cage or travolta?

dammit nic. just be brave & bald. BRAVE AND BaLD!

 

[Drizzle]

What's wrong with Cage

What isn't wrong with him? I can't believe this guy has an Oscar.

[Matrixo]

Dammit. His hairs long, its going to suck now...


t:

 

[Kira]

well, i like his wig.

but seriously, cage has demonstrated in the past that he CAN create some serious acting magic when he's not sucking jerry bruckheimer's money tit.

 

[Rac]

Again this crappy long haircut? What's wrong with Cage

No, no! Not a haircut! It's just the same Hollywood wig Cage used in Next and Hanks in Da Vinci Code.

 

[batgirl2119]

am i the only one who really can not stand him? he just bugs me. i like this type of movie but since it has cage i'm more than likely never going to watch it.

 

[Ironic_Commando]

Hehehe, I agree with you.
