Oh my goodness gracious! If this is actually true I think spontaneous urination will be a reality in my near future. The guys over at Twitch are reporting that Ong Bak freak of nature (in a good way) Tony Jaa is going to be starring along side Jackie Chan in the next Drunken Master film.
Apparently, Jackie will be the master passing his knowledge on to a new generation (Jaa).
Can you say “Passing the torch”? Word is that Jaa is already at work learning English in preperation for this film in which he’ll play Chan’s pupil in the art of Drunken Boxing. I have no idea how the writers will get around Jackie’s alcohol induced brain damage from the end of part two, but frankly I really don’t care. I’ll accept just about anything that gets this made.
Here here! Jaa is a total marvel and the true evolution of Jackie Chan. I’ve alread posted several times on The Movie Blog about Ong Bak, so I won’t go into it much here… but I’ve been waiting for Chan to do a film with someone (Jet Li?) to sort of symbolically pass on the torch. Tony Jaa would be a fine recipient. All he has to do is that little thing called learning English and he’ll be a major action star over here.
