Ong Bak 2?

So yesterday while I was training this Thai woman came into our stadium and started taking pictures of everyone. Front, center, side, and finally in a guard stance.

I'm thinking "what the hell?" but hey this is Thailand, so I let her take a shot at me, it was kind of awkward but she spoke enough English so that I didn't look like a complete fool.

Later on I find out that this woman was scouting for Ong Bak 2!

If you haven't seen Ong Bak, go rent it now. It's a great Thai movie, and if you like any Jackie Chan style stunt work then you'll love it. Also check out Tony Jaa's last movie "Tom Yun Goon" or "The Protector (USA release name)", get the international version if you can as the American cut takes out over 20 minuets and a whole lot of Thai customs.

Granted I probably have a snowballs chance in hell of getting called, even for Badguy #37 or something. I imagine that they want some beefcake guy like this one guy from Egypt whose pectorals probably weigh more than half of me. But the feeling around all the other students and myself is "what if?".

It'd be cool as hell to be a part of this especially since it's Tony Jaa's first shot at directing as well. I'd love to have a reason to extend my stay in Thailand, pending of course an event in November that I will be home for. Not to mention I would not only meet but act with one of the people who got me so interested in Muay Thai to begin with.

Bah, enough of this, I have training to do.
