RT-News writes: "M-DMD.com has news that Tony Jaa, the star of "Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior," will play Jackie Chan's student in "Drunken Master 3." Since the article is in Thai, someone on the Unofficial Tony Jaa Board has kindly summarized the gist of the article:


"Tony Jaa, has already had a contact to play the new movie with Jackie Chan in "Drunken Master 3" ( Sia Jiang, Jaa, and Chan have already had a talk about this movie when Jackie came to Thailand many months ago to promote his movie 'The New Police Story.'

In 'Drunken Master 3,' Jackie will be playing the master and Jaa will be playing as Chan's student. This is just a plan, it will take sometimes for Chan and Jaa to have the right schedule to play movie together. At the meantime, Jaa will be studying English more, so he can play the movie with Chan.'"

If it's anything like the first two movies, Chan fans like myself will be really happt.

Shit. I was thinking about how cool it would be for Jackie and Tony to do a movie together and it happened.

Also there was a thread about Ong Bak coming to the cinemas stateside. But it is excellent for the fights, stunts etc. Not so much for the story

Do they get to meet Chris Tucker along the way?

Ok, I wouldn't get your hopes up lol. if it even happens it's probably three -five years away.

At the meantime, Jaa will be studying English more, so he can play the movie with Chan.

Would this mean they'd want to make it in English to begin with? Or that this guy really wants to get into the dub-my-own-voice thing?

Shoot, put this on my most-anticipated list. I'm guessing asking for Jet Li as the villian would be too much to ask.
