TYG: the new generation of Thai action movie!!!

Yesterday afternoon (Jan 18th, 2005) at Shangri-La Hotel, there was a press conference of the movie TYG, by Sahamonkol film and Ba-Ram-Ewe Company. In the conference hall, which was filled with reporters and the TYG staff like Tony Jaa, Nathan Jones, Tak Bogkoj, Panna Rittikrai, Prachya Pinkaew?

Tom Yum Goong (TYG) is the second largest budget of Thai movie history (US$5million), which the first movie was Suriyothai. The movie synopsis is about the guy named ?Kham? has to go to Australia to retrieve his beloved elephants that was supposed to offer to the king (you guys already known the detail of this movie somewhere in this forum, so I?m not gonna talk much about it)

The movie is in production and it?s almost done; only 10% remain unproduced, especially the fight scene between Jaa and Nathan Jones. It is very challenging to design the fight scene with the guy who has a huge body and almost 200cm height.

Panna told the reporters that he has been thinking about it all the time about the fight scene. He laughed a little bit and said ?when you look at Jaa and Nathan, you can simply say that Jaa can?t beat Nathan for sure, the problem is how to design the fight scene that Nathan will be dead!!? At this point Nathan looked at Panna and made a frighten face. (hahaha.)

In addition, the action will include Muay Thai, Muay Kojchasan* (Boxing style that has mimicked from the elephant movement), Wusu* (typo?), Capoeira (Brazilian style), and K1

The highlight of this movie is the 4 minutes unedited fight scene (non-stop), the problem was, if there?s any mistake during the fight, they had to begin and start to take it again. It took 3-4 days filming just for this 4 minutes fight scene. (Can?t wait to seeee!!!)

After the interview, Jaa had generously showing us some fight scenes in the movie, it?s called Muay Kojchasan* which emphasized on grabbing and breaking (please look at the picture)

The movie will be released on August 11, 2005 in Thailand.

End of the translation!!!!!!

===============================================================

(Here is the translation from comment # 23, he said that he went to the press conference and here is what he told us:
?At first I was afraid that this movie might copy the concept of Ong Bak, because in Ong Bak the picture was too dark and presented in the warm tone (yellow and brown)
Yet, the continuous of the fight scene in Ong Bak was not smooth that much and that worried me a bit. However, when I saw the clip of TYG, I must say I am very satisfied!, the pictures that has been captured on film was in a very international level. The fight scene looked brutal and fast, yet very beautiful. And I have seen many fight scenes that I have not seen in Ong Bak.

That?s all folks!

oops! sorry, I forgot to put my name on that.

Wow, great news. The wait for this movie to come out is killing me! I was hoping it will come out Chinese New Year like they plan but I guess Tony will be too busy promoting Ong Bak in US. Beside, I don't want them to rush it out until their happy with the final result.

Muay Kojchasan is martial art I never heard of. Looks interesting.

Thanks tachyon96.

Thanks a lot tachyon96. Some great news excepted the release date ! Hope Tom Yum Goong will be released in the same time in Asia and Europ... Anyway, the waiting will be really hard . But it worths !

Hi, I got some news concerning TYG. All the asian rights are buyed.

Europa negociate to buy all american and european rights. More news during spring '05.

Have a good day. R

So no Tom Yum Goong in Europe during the summer 05'... Someone told me that the movie will be released on november 2005 in Japan. I can't imagine for the France

I believe the asian release date for TYG is the same throughout.

oh snap TYG is out in thai theaters in August 11th? thats awesome because i'll be in Thailand on time to watch the movie. I might watch the movie like 5 times since a movie ticket is just 4-5 american dollars. I hope i see Tony Jaa too in person the day of its release. I just gotta find out where in thailand would he be promoting the movie. Maybe in Siam Square or MBK.

Hehe great for you . Actually, TYG will be released on 12 august...

what happened to the february date?

hehe TYG is still filming... They were late.

Hello ModnajA. Don't know if you can write in english so can someone translate please ? I would like to understand

I can't believe that it's possible to make a movie with just 5 million $ :blink: even though it's thai; imagine 50 million $ for the next movie of Tony, Pracha could make a movie as good as Hollywood movies; I don't mean that it's not possible to make a good movie without a Hollywood budget, however Tony could well play in superproductions, such as 'Troy' .Tony could be successful if he played in a US movie.What do you think?

Tony Jaa will play in a US movie in the futur, it's sure but in my opinion I prefer HK movies because the action is more pure and more intense !

I think if Tony Jaa play in a US movie he will use special effects (cable) like Jet Li... However Tony Jaa has the capacities for playing without cable or another effects ! But it's like that in US, they need to use special effects most of the time...

There are many reasons that I don't agree with that Tony should go to hollywood.

1. There are nobody knows about Muay Thai Boran other than Thais. I mean if he is going to work in hollywood with american team work, that's the end of freedom of his idea to put in the movie. Anybody watched "Kickboxer" starring by Vandamn? Everything in that movie looked so funny to me because they try to pretend to be Thai in the movie, but everything just like a comedy movie.

2. Team work: Right now, like I said brfore, Tony has a dream team that he is happy to work with including Prachya, Panna, and other crews. I don't believe that hollywood can do a better action scene that Panna does. Besides that, Panna is Tony's teacher since he was a teenager. I think this combination is the best.

3. Stay original: Name it. Any movies of Jacky and Jetli. Which one are better between the one that they have done in their country or the on in Hollywood. I believe that every country has its own way to produce movies. That is the beauty of variety.

4. Again, this dream team is cool enough to beat hollywood.

Yes I agree with you. I think hollywood would ruin his career.

Going to the usa would not ruin his career, only he will make the same kind of movies as jackie chan made there, and thats a waste of time, but it will make him a very rich man.
Since jackie chan now made his last movie in hk again, its finally a good one again.
So Tony shouldn stay in Thailand, and just make movies there, they will be sold anywhere anyway.....

I'm sure Tony Jaa will never make movies for money but for promoting Thai cultures and Muay Thai. If one day he make a movie in the US it's because it will be a movie of quality.

Quality is better than quantity, in my opinion .

Yes he would be rich but his movies would'nt be as good. Jackie Chan's last couple movies were horrible (tuxedo,the madallion)thats why Tony should stay in Thailand.

if he ever does make a movie just for money, i hope he does it so he can donate the profits to the conservation of thailand's natural resources, like the "greening of Isaan" movement from a few years ago. profits from a hollywood blockbuster movie could really help the poorer rural villages. or a save the elephants campaign. or feed hungry childern in thailand. he has a good heart, no need to worry that he will turn into a hollywood snob.

I dont think it would ever be necessary for Tony to "make a Hollywood picture". And certainly not for it to be palatable to American audiences. What Jaa's camp can hopefully do is work out better distribution deals within the U.S. so their exposure and release is handled on a wider scale over here. There is an absolutely HUGE fan-base here that needs to be tapped. And I hope it is in the future. I am certainly cheering Jaa on to great release success in the states. He is a breath of fresh air in the movies so filled with impossible and inplausible stunts.

Hey....Sawasdee

I read news in Thai last few week ago and Jeing (Fat white Man)the producer of TYG was mentioned that the release date of TYG around the world will be almost the same time like Hollywood movie because they sure that many people (country) was interested to see TYG and that can avoid the copy of VCD or DVD aswell. so sound like he want more profit I think.

I mean same time for Thia aswell (12 Aug 2005)

Is the release of TYG going to be the same deal as Ong Bak? Ya know, limited release and only in those major cities? If so, i'm gonna die!!! I'd have to wait even longer to see it!!! AAHHH....!!!!

It may still be released in limited theaters (if you live in canada and the usa) because martial arts films aren't as popular as they used to be. Some people don't even want to bother watching subtitled films. But it's to be released worldwide at the same time, or around the same time, and Ong Bak was made in 2003 and just came to all of us this year, so obviously it had bootlegged copies and many people already had ong bak, which makes the possibility that TYG will be released in many more theaters. If your really curious, next time you go to the movies, check out the new movie release posters posted on the walls. I am gonna go do that to the paramount theatre closest to me because last time I went to see Ong Bak, I had to go to other close citites.

If it's limited release, then that says it all. I won't get to see it for sure. I live in the smallest city in the least popular state and surrounded by more small cities and states. Basically what I'm trying to say is, I live in the midwest. I guess I'll have to wait and buy it from ethaicd.

Ames, Iowa by any chance?

No Ong-Bak shown in any theatre in this state.

Even worse ----> Nebraska... But the only theater near my town is in IOWA....

Do u know when the movie "Tom Yum Goong" will be released in the US? My friends can't wait to see the movie and also like to buy a DVD (either in english or thai with subtitle)? Can anyone tell me where to find it and how much it will cost to buy just one?

The dates for release are posted on this thread, yet I'm not even sure if it's august 11th or 12th but the dvd is not available yet because it hasn't even been released in theaters yet. Expect it to come a few months after it is released. If you want it REAL bad then downloading is an option but I don't reccommend it since it's theft.

I have some sad news.

It may be that Tom Yum Goong won't be released in August. I have been in contact with the Australian production manager and he has said that the August date may be a bit optimistic as there is still some more shooting to be done, including in Oz. ( )

I guess it is good news, as well as bad news. Good for me, because maybe there might be another chance that I get to see some of the cast, but bad news because we all have to wait longer for the release date.

well, it's better to have a good film than a soon to be released one don't you think?

ahhhhhh!! nooooo!! Me going to thailand this august anticipating to watch Tom Yum Goong is on the top of my priority list aside from visiting relatives, going to the mall, beaches, and other stuff. I guess I won't be among the first people to get to watch Tony Jaa's next movie which I would say is his next masterpiece.

Well I guess I shouldn't complain much if they're trying to add more cool extra scenes.

But I will keep hope that the movie will be released before summer time in America is done for, before I gotta start my new life in college.

Totally agree.

We can wait, can't we guys, without going insane from the anticipation??...

AUGUST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

ok... it's only four more months.... i hope i can last that long

Wow, Tony Jaa really knows how to drive his fans CrAZy! I guess I can wait a little longer. It's gotta be hard to top Ong Bak. They know that we will have high expectations so they're working really hard to go beyond Ong Bak.

me too!!! when i red that the release date was august in thailand i was damn happy, cause i'll probably there since the beginning of august!!!

anyway, i'd rather wait some other months than have a not very good product, don't you? it'll ba hard, but i agree that it'll worth it!!

Release for TYG date for Germany is probably march 30th 2006.
I asked the organisation which distributes it. I hope there will be no delay.
