New Info Details Chupong's VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN

It was back in April that Twitchfilm reported the last known activity on the last action thriller, Vengeance Of An Assassin. And while further information was scant, the folks at Sahamongkol Film International still managed to generate some excitement prior to the pending release of its latest 3D sequel studio blockbuster, Tom Yum Goong 2, starring Tony Jaa prior to launching his next big career move with the current production of Fast And Furious 7 set for July 11, 2014.

With Sahamongkol now in the spotlight once more, further mention of Vengeance Of An Assassin also announced the return to the big screen for TYG2 co-star Dan Chupong who made waves in the explosive 2004 remake of the 1984 thriller, Born To Fight  with Thai action  legend and cinematic fight choreographer extraordinaire, Panna Rittikrai, followed by the 2006 collaboration, Dynamite Warrior. And new information this week now illustrates the film reportedly made the rounds at Filmart 2013 and the summer line-up Cannes this year, which means the film is likely done shooting and is in post-production and looking for distribution.

The film reportedly clocks in at 93 minutes, which is ample time for a tasty action thriller that sees Chupong and Rittikrai back on the set with visionary Thai action filmmaker Prachya Pinkaew reportedly helming once more. What’s baffling here though, is the extent to which Sahamongkol is keeping this film underwraps, in addition to others in its slate. Hopefully we will learn more in due time.

And now, check out the logline and subsequent synopsis below:

Being an assassin has its rules– always keep your eyes on your target; strict to your mission, execute without any hesitation and there is no room for negotiation! Each killer has his own background, but all of them has trade in their blood and losses. 

For Natee (Dan Chupong), his only reason in becoming an assassin, while leaving behind Than, his only one brother and uncle Thanom, his adoptive father who raises them up, is to find the truth on the dead of his father and his mother. It’s the issue that he’d always doubted and felt that uncle Thanom hid something from him. 

While being on a mission in protecting “Ploy”, the niece of Chain, influential boss of an east coast town from group of assassins, there is an change in order for him to kill the girl that he is protecting instead!!! 

Before he can get to the bottom of it, someone has double-crossed and use him as the scapegoat. Natee must find out who is behind this scheme. Meanwhile he has to save Ploy’s life from the cold-blood and brutal killers who always know every step of their movements. It’s clear that Natee is confronting with a hidden power with network and control far surpass his capability to withstand them. 

After a hairbreadth escape from death, Natee and Ploy escape to a safe house where he had grown up with his brother. Accompanying them is Doctor Xi Fu, a Chinese doctor from Ploy’s family, who come to cure Natee’s injury. Than falls in love with Ploy at first sight without knowing that Natee also has some feelings towards the girl whose life he has saved. Finally, the family is together again and Tanom decides to unveil the big secret he has kept all through his life about Natee and Than’s parents. 

The assassins don’t give them a time to breath, they were sent to clean up every life involved. Being focus and utilizing all of their capabilities is the only way to survive. They have to be faster, stronger and hit harder.

There is no information yet on a release or anymore information of the film which is still subject to change, but I will forward it once I come across it.
