Ong Bak 2 is the working title for a Thai martial arts film directed by and starring Tony Jaa. If it retains the title, it will be a sequel in name only to the hugely popular Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior.
The story is adapted from Ai Noom Saraphad Phid, a low-budget martial arts film Jaa developed with his mentor Panna Rittikrai, but was never released because it was shot on expired film stock. The action will incorporate khon, the sacred Thai masked dance. The title roughly translates to "man with poisons" and involves a character whose dark side is dominant until he's transformed by the gracious power of khon dance.
Shooting of the film began in October 2006 with an early 2008 release [1]
