Chocolate is the latest directorial effort from Prachya Pinkaew, the man at the helm of both Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong / The Protector. While Pinkaew and his star Tony Jaa have had a fairly public falling out recently - no doubt triggered in part by Jaa’s desire to direct Ong Bak 2 himself and resulting in Pinkaew’s cancellation of Jaa feature project Sword - he is quite confident he has a new star here in Nicharee “Jeeja” Vismistananda. Don’t let youth or gender fool you, Vismistananda has been training under the personal guidance of Jaa’s mentor and fight choreographer Panna Rittikrai for years in preparation for this role so you know she’s got the goods. In Chocolate she plays an autistic girl who goes on a mission to collect debts to save her ill mother, a course of action that puts her on a collision course with gangs of both the local Thai and Japanese varieties.

This looks like it's gonna be another fun movie in the same style as Ong-Bak. The Protector wasn't so good because it decided to focus on the story too much. Hopefully this will have the same formula as Ong-Bak which was 30 minutes of story and then 1+ hour of non-stop action/fighting.
Oh yeah, the movie is also going to be done like Ong-Bak with no strings or effects for the fights. Watch the nasty blooper reel in the trailer for proof.
