Tony Jaa has officially left the film industry.
After the huge international success of Ong Bak and The Protector reports started coming in about weird chicken sacrifices, black magic rituals and mafia strong-arming which would lead to him disappearing from the set of Ong Bak 2.
The story now takes an even stranger twist as Jaa rode an elephant into a Buddhist temple in Surin, Thailand...shaved his head, took vows, and was officially ordained as a Buddhist monk.

Here’s the official plot synopsis for Ong Bak 3:
The legend of Ong Bak 3 begins after Tien (Tony Jaa) has lost his fighting skills and his beloved stepfather at the Garuda’s Wing cliff from the raid led by Jom Rachan (Saranyu Wonggrajang). Tien is brought back to life with the help from Pim (Primrata Dechudom) as well as Mhen (Petchai Wongkamlao) and the Kana Khone villagers. Deep into the meditation taught by Phra Bua (Nirutti Sirijanya), Tien finally is able to achieve ‘Nathayut’. His talents are put to the test again when his rivals including the Golden-Armored King’s Guard (Supakorn ‘Tok’ Kijusuwan), the mysterious killers in black, and Bhuti Sangkha (Dan Chupong) return for the final massive showdown.

An Excerpt:
37. Red Cliff
John Woo’s return to Asian cinema takes the classic historical route in a dramatization from the Records of the Three Kindoms text. Woo is subdued in this film and tells pretty much a straight story. The set is impressive and the story is interesting and linier, but the costumes and acting both seemed to be a little off – like some budget restraints played a part. I happened to see the 2008 film in full thanks to a friend of mine that sent me the commercial DVD and a srt sub title file. That movie and a second part released in Asia this year were combined into one movie called Red Cliff that was released in the Western world. The non-Asian version is a bit tighter on edits, but some actors I believe were substituted and the second half of the film is rushed. That may be because I saw the first part unedited and then the two movies combined. Either way, Red Cliff is worth a look for Asian cinema, John Woo, or historical movie fans.
