I don't know how to react to the news that Studio HIVE has acquired the rights to make a multiplatform game based on the Ong-Bak series. They have a production team working on the project, due out later this year, right now. It's happening.
"Ong-Bak is well known as a powerful international martial arts brand," says Sahamongkol Film International business development director Akarapol Techaratanaprasert. "We are very selective with our licensing partners and found in Studio HIVE the right partner to bring Ong-Bak to gaming platforms. "Their approach to tie in movie and game is the right way to create a perfect interactive entertainment."
Yup, still don't know how to react. I love me some Tony Jaa and think this could conceptually lend itself well to interactive entertainment. But it's probably for the best that we reserve judgment for now.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Just please don't be based on the last two films.
Ha I remember that one.
The most recent game that reminded me of Stranglehold was "Wet", both of which I liked, but I am a huge Inspector Tequila and Eliza Dushku fan.
I'm curious what this will be like. Anybody remember "Bruce Lee:Quest of the Dragon" on the original Xbox?
But like someone said, this needs to be Rise to Honor without the shooting parts. Instead you just shoot flying knees at your enemies.
Pretty sure the consensus on that game was that it was decent. It got mostly 7's. personally though I don't remember the reviews being all that favorable, but thats just me going on memory.
Yeah I like Tom-Yum-Goong too, great film. They're actually making a sequel!
