A new untitled Thai action project is reuniting Tony Jaa, Dan Chupong and Jeeja Yanin, and for stunt professionals the headline is the craft it aims to revive: the bone-crunching, no-CGI Muay Thai choreography built by the late action filmmaker and stunt coordinator Panna Rittikrai. The film is framed as a tribute to Rittikrai, whose Muay Thai Stunt Team shaped modern Thai action through Ong-Bak, Born to Fight and Tom-Yum-Goong.
The reunion is notable on a stunt level because Jaa and Chupong came up together inside Rittikrai's team before breaking out internationally, training in the same full-contact, practical-impact discipline that made those films land. Behind-the-scenes material teases a return to that gritty, real-hit style — practical stunt work and staged Muay Thai over digital augmentation — with an ensemble that mixes veteran martial artists and a younger generation of performers. Story details and release date remain under wraps.
