Bit of sad news for Mothman, Gorephobia, Angra...
 

UK, July 28, 2008 - Tony Jaa has apparently gone AWOL from the set of Ong-bak 2.

According to Variety, the producer of the martial arts sequel held a press conference on Friday and told reporters the Siamese actor - who is starring and making his directing debut on the film - had been missing since June.

The film was running behind schedule and over budget, and according to Jaa's family, the kick-boxing sensation had been suffering from stress and gone to meditate in the jungle.

The film generated serious buzz after footage was shown at Cannes this year, and Prachya Pinkaew - who directed the first Ong-bak - may be bought in to edit the footage and direct any additional scenes to ensure the film can be released.

He said "Jaa has little experience directing. He's spent nearly $7.8 million. The film is almost finished, so I'll try to see what I can do with the footage that he's shot."


Well...let's just hope for the best!

Wow..... That's quite shocking news for me.

What if he's........ DEAD!!!! :eek:





Anyways, thanks for the info, V. You rule.

Here's some more interesting stuff about it for those who cares.

Looks like he has come back from his "vacation" today.

I sure hope he has come back and he's ok.I love every movie he's been in and will watch anything he does.The man is truely amazing.

I'm a HUGE Jaa fan, I doubt he's out of money or downtrodden... I bet there was just a small village in need of a hero.

Or maybe he met Chuck Norris in the jungle and they've been figting ever since.

We'd know about it then, after that there would be no jungle.

Sweet. :cool:

He'll turn up eventually.

He already has.
