Jailbreak director Jimmy Henderson still has plans to shoot the long-awaited sequel to his hit 2017 action comedy with actors Dara Our and Jean-Paul Ly. Those plans are still on hold as things develop, while Henderson and his team are currently set up to shoot their latest project in Cambodia next month, KTV: Killing Time Violently, which rolls cameras from early September through October.
The film reunites Henderson with actor and martial artist, Our once more for their fifth pairing together after breaking out in 2015 with regional hit, Hanuman, followed by The Forest Whisperers, Jailbreak, and Gu Shengwai starrer, The Prey. Our stars as Mak, an estranged father who must use his skills as a reformed bar-brawler to find a way out and make it home in time for his son’s birthday when he gets caught up in a gang raid at a local club on his first day of work.
KTV: Killing Time Violently further rejoins the star/director duo with Jailbreak cohorts Dara Phang, Ros Mony, and Tharoth Sam. The film will also introduce Japan-based Cambodian model Hinano Kurosaki, along with comedian duo Pek Mi and Neay Krouch, and legendary Cambodian rapper, DJ Sdey.
Henderson will direct from a script he wrote with The Prey and The Forest Whisperers co-scribe Kai Miller.
The film hails from Two Rivers International Studio, M Pictures Cambodia, and Hanuman Beverages. Henderson is also producing the pic with Chy Sila, Kenneth Ung, and Si Mao exec producing.
Henderson last completed Emergency Rescue (f.k.a. The Guardian) which stars Gu, along with Andy On, Waise Lee, Eric Tsang and Charlie Ruedpoknanon, and is currently available in China. With any luck, folks outside the mainland can catch that one on Tubi or another OTT legit service if possible. As for Our, we last covered him back in April when he released his music video directorial debut, which you can check out here.
