A new fansite with the making of Bangkok Adrenaline and behind the scenes photos has come to my attention. Most of the photos and blog links are from my own photo pages and articles but not all. Better yet for Bangkok Adrenaline fans the site is laid out in an easy to find and read manner rather than strewn over several years of blog posts like this site's Bangkok Adrenaline posts. Go and have a read, it tells pretty much exactly how we went about making Bangkok Adrenaline . |

True Legend, the Chinese 3D action movie of 2010, has been released across China today in time for Chinese New Year, so you know it is a big release movie. True Legend opens across the rest of Asia about the same time, in Thailand it is the week after, on the 18th Feb that it hits cinemas, so I'll have to wait until then to see it, hopefully there is an Imax cinema in Pattaya so I can see myself in 3D too.

AWESOME! It is not often I get excited about a movie.
Solomon Kane is another character by Robert E. Howard - the creator of the Conan (the barbarian) character.
This is one movie that I am looking forward to watching, it looks like a faithful reproduction of the book character which is important for me as the character in Robert E. Howards books has always resonated with me.
He is strong emotionally, mentally and physically tough (not big and muscular like the Conan character) with a strong life purpose - just the sort of 'hero' needed by todays youth....

Recently on an Actors forum I replied to a post asking if an actor should have a personal website. Another qualified poster said it was more than important it is essential these days and talked about the old days when you would get out the Telephone book and look someone's number up.
He then went on to say when was the last time you looked up a business in the Telephone book? Years and years if I can remember rightly, probably over 10 years for me. These days I type in the business namke into a search engine and get the details from the web, or if that fails I use the Yellow Pages online.
You as an actor are a business, selling yourself, so yes you need to get online and findable....

New Opportunity = New showreel.
Just about everytime a new chance for a movie part that is big comes along, out I come with a new showreel... if I can... So that means I have been asked if I would like to be in a new BIG movie that everyone will know??? Can't say just yet but had an interesting social meeting the other night....
Since Bangkok Adrenaline is now out all across Thailand I can get some footage, unfortunately it has all been dubbed into Thai.... except for 2 deleted scenes that were added to the DVD edition as extra features!
Yay! Footage of me speaking English! Not dubbed into Thai, Hindi, or Mandarin as usual.
Bangkok Adrenaline In Stores (Powerkids is the DVD above)
Funnily enough the Powerkids DVD was on sale just above the Bangkok Adrenaline DVD. Too bad the Powerkids footage is useless at this point in my career....

As an actor the roles you get will be less dependant upon your abilitites than the abilities of your agent.
A harsh reality, an even harsher reality when your agent isn't very experienced or has different goals than you do.
So how do you get a good acting agent?

Our movie, Bangkok Adrenaline, has finished its run in cinemas in Thailand - 7 weeks total, the longest run being in the touristic seaside resort - Pattaya. Bangkok Adrenaline was a cinematical success!
According to my knowledge in Thai cinema there several cut off points if your movie doesn't make monetary targets it is removed from cinema.
Bangkok Adrenaline made it past the two cut off points and was allowed to run until it stopped making profits....

Bangkok Adrenaline is finally released today 14th May 2009. 3 nights ago I attended the preview screening, held at Siam Paragon, Bangkok.
First up I was surprised, as this was the first I have heard about it, but the marketing team had decided to use me as the centre piece for some of the advertising posters, apparently they see me as being a minor celebrity here and thought I would be better known to the Northern audiences, since I have been in a few big budget releases already.

So what did I think of the final edit?

Finally the movie that I moved to Thailand for has been released, 4 /12 years after I filmed in it we finally get to see it. For me it was very funny, a sense of deja vu, or in reality being taken back to that naive person who came and worked for peanuts in my 1st ever Thai film, though it was fair for what we did.
Back then I thought how good it would be to be seen on the big screen in my new temporary home and how good it would be to be recognised by a few avid movie fans who had watched the movie, and we waited, and waited.....

True Legend: the upcoming movie directed by the man behind the scenes with Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Kill Bill, and the Matrix series... a true legend in his own right... Yuen Woo Ping.
The True Legend movie (Su Qi-Er Chinese title) follows in the footsteps of Chinese movies with Asia wide cinema release that have gone Internationally successful, such as Fearless and Forbidden Kingdom, both of which Yuen Woo Ping was the Action Choreographer for.
I recently travelled to Beijing, China to have the great honour to work with Master Yuen on the True Legend movie, his first Directed movie in 12 or 20 years (depending who you ask)....

About 2 months ago now I travelled to Pattaya City for a day to film in the Thai movie E-Tim Tai Nae, the Director asked for me directly as I have worked with him before, so no casting involved just a negotiation on pay and how many days they want me for filming.
E-Tim Movie Poster
Turns out that the first time I was due to film was just after I returned from my latest trip to Australia, and ended up not being able to shoot as I had contracted Chicken Pox. Luckily for me they held the part and filmed later so I was able to appear in the movie...

YES! Drona is releasing in 2 weeks time, more showreel for me.
Today I scoured the web for information and it seems that my name is all over the place in connection with this Drona movie, great, it will be nice to see if the website traffic from India suddenly increases in 2 weeks time... I certainly am hoping it will.
Also I found the new theatrical trailer and a couple of released photos, so I can display these without breaking my NDA.

First the Hanuman The White Monkey Warrior movie poster and now the Hanuman action movie trailer, and also another poster for this local produced movie, and an accompanying music video.
In the trailer I can be seen very, very briefy at the 54 second mark with the group of prize fighters (I am the biggest one of course) but am also wearing a ski mask so my face doesn't show.
In my final take I throw the hero across the room and then yell at him, to add dramatic effect (and to get my face onscreen) I pulled off the ski mask spat on the ground (in contempt) and yelled obscenities at the Hero now laying face down across the room...

Walking along Sukhumvit yesterday I noticed that the Treasured Island DVD is on the streets, apparently it has been for a while but this is the first time I have seen it.
Treasured Island is the English release title for the French movie I'lle Aux Tresors that we filmed in Ao Nung (near Krabi) and Trang in the south of Thailand, as you can tell by the beautiful beach and island scenes...

Not to be outdone by yesterdays Chandni Chowk To China trailer release, today I find that Drona has released it's trailer too... and they have changed the release date to 2nd Oct, 22 days before Chandni Chowk To China is released.

At this point all I can say is that I play the above character and fight with Abishek Bachchan (Drona) at a pivitol point in the movie.
