Tom Yum Goong 2 is the sequel to the 2005 film Tom-Yum-Goong. Release date. 2011-12-05

Tony Jaa and Jeeja in 3D for Tom-Yum-Goong 2

The martial-arts star, who entered the monkhood after a contentious time with studio Sahamongkolfilm International during the making Ong-Bak 2 and Ong-Bak 3, appeared at a press conference today alongside studio executive Somsak "Sia Jiang" Techaratanaprasert, as well as director Prachya Pinkaew and action choreographer Panna Rittikrai for the announcement of Tom-Yum-Goong 2 (ต้มยำกุ้ง2).

A sequel to the 2005 action drama that had Tony Jaa jet off to Australia in search of his missing elephant, Tom-Yum-Goong 2 will be in 3D.

Sahamongkol is reportedly budgeting 300 million baht for the picture. The movie's release will be sometime next year.

Ong-Bak and Tom-Yum-Goong helmer Prachya will again direct, after Tony Jaa took over the director's chair himself for the two Ong-Bak sequels and ran into budgetary problems that led to his celebrity meltdown. The movies got back on track when Tony's old mentor Panna took over as co-director. Panna will again lead the martial-arts stunt team on Tom-Yum-Goong 2.

Tom-Yum-Goong 2 will mark the first time another of Sahamongkol's major action stars, "Jeeja" Yanin Vismitananda, will co-star with Tony. She stars in the action-comedy Jakkalan (directed by and also starring Tom-Yum-Goong co-star Mum Jokmok), opening this week, is featured in the upcoming Korean-Thai co-production, The Kick (also with Mum) and is also set for a 3D sequel to her debut film Chocolate.

Comedian Petthai "Mum Jokmok" Wongkumlao was also present for the Tom-Yum-Goong 2 press conference. In the first Tom-Yum-Goong, he played a Thai-Australian police officer in Sydney's Thai community.

The announcement of Tom-Yum-Goong 2 follows rumors that Tony was unhappy with Sahamongkol and was looking to work overseas, and might star in a project by Hong Kong superstar Sammo Hung.

BONG! as tama-chan sez "Kicking like Tony Jaa ...you know it's JPHiP FLAVOR!" only natural RZA and Tony hook up. WORD IS BOND!

Destiny has its way of being followed controlled and simply fated without our knowing. Well here is a case of a mixture of the three. When I was working on "The man with the Iron Fists" I had planned on having Tony Ja in the film. Due to schedules and other parameters it couldn't come to fruition. Yet thru our martial common thread Tony and his team invited me to Thailand to work on his new film TYG2 in 3D. And to basically join in on some serious ass kicking. I accepted and here we are together on set. Tony and I have been comrades for nearly 7 years. It's great to finally get to work together. We are both avid martial art fans and plan on doing future collaborations. If "The man with the Iron Fist" hits it's projected mark we could be seeing Tony Ja joining the cast of the sequel.

 Let's make it happen. Peace
