TONY JAA SPEAKS. BRETT RATNER CRIES.

Tony Jaa In an interview with Ed Douglas on ComingSoon, Tony Jaa speaks at length about TOM YUM GOONG and talks about his directorial debut, ONG BAK 2.

Jaa says they'll spend more time focusing on the script for that movie which is sort of a gimme because they could hardly spend less.

At the end of the interview his agent reveals that Tony will not be in RUSH HOUR 3, despite Brett Ratner's sweaty-palmed fantasies to the contrary.

It's "The Protector" dammit!! :)

Actually, neither title makes much sense... Tom Yum Goong is named after the restaurant that appears for about four minutes (but what a four minutes!) and The Protector... well, he doesn't do a very good job protecting anything, does he? :) (Still cracks me up that they used the same title as a bad Jackie Chan movie.)

I think IMDB credits it as TOM YUM GOONG, see:
