CHOCOLATE Star Jija Yanin Gets Bloody - And Bendy - In The RAGING PHOENIX Trailer!

Got to hand it to the production team behind Thai martial arts film Ong Bak: They know a good thing when they see it. And after seeing the way their female star Jija Yanin performed in her debut picture Chocolate, they went straight to work on her sophomore picture. In the process Sahamongkol Film not only got away from the in-production-for-years cycle that has plagued their recent releases but they've also pushed into some new territory in their approach to action and martial arts.

Tailored specifically to Yanin's personality and skills, Raging Phoenix introduces a romance element to the story while also fusing Yanin's martial arts skills with hip hop dancing and other elements. I wrote about this one during Cannes, when Sahamongkol released the first promo reel for the film, but there is now - finally - a public trailer to show. The focus is purely on Yanin - her romantic interest is barely present at all - with a good taste given of the hip hop fusion fight style. And for those who worry that the romantic side will mean toning down the violence ... well, I think the first shot will cure you of that notion.

Check out the first trailer for Raging Phoenix below the break!
