Tony Jaa, Jungle Diva

Tony Jaa Meditates

Angry Zen Minion Devin Wolfe writes in with word that action phenom Tony Jaa walked off the set of Ong-bak 2 to meditate in the jungle.

So get this, Jaa’s lawyer sent a list of demands to Sahomongkolfilm International that included a Baht 50 million ($1.5 million USD) flat fee and canceling the ten year exclusive contract between Jaa and Sahamongkol. Sounds like someone is thinking about going to Hollywood. Sahamongkol head Somsak Techaratanaprasert refused to negotiate until completion of Ong Bak 2. So Jaa walked and headed deep into the jungle to meditate and contemplate fat stacks of cash.

Techaratanaprasert finally agreed to meet with Jaa. The two worked out some kind of arrangement and Jaa returned to set to finish the film under the supervision of Prachya Pinkaew who produced and directed the first Ong-bak and Panna Rittkrai who served as action choreographer on the first film.

I think Jaa has gotten wind that he’s got a decent fan base over here and is probably interested in reaching a wider audience. He’s certainly got the diva act right.

    I’d love to see him stateside in a Hollywood action flick… I can see it now…:

    Jason Statham
    Tony Jaa

    In

    “Cranked Transporter of the Protector 3″

    :D

    Just keep Disney away from Jaa… no Around the World in 80 Days remakes to emasculate his amazing martial prowess please!

    It’s not particularly Diva-ish, not like he walked in with

    “What the fuck is this!? I said WHITE Elephants! WHITE! EVERYTHING HAS TO BE WHITE! What is this shit Gray? Gray Elephants!? Anyone can have fucking gray Elephants! I’ve got Gray Elephants coming out of my ass!”

    plus he didn’t jet off to his summer house, he walked into the jugnle, to meditate, which is awesome.

    You know, that’s true. Going off to meditate is quite awesome.

    Yeah, none of this ‘Wah! I’ll be in my trailer sh**… It’s more like ‘bitches, I’ll be meditating in the jungle when you get the ballz to come find me.’
