It exists for the time being as only a title and brief synopsis on the project board outside Sahamongkol Film's offices at the American Film Market - key art and casting will have to wait until the formal announcement some time down the road - but we now know what is next for Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew.  Titled Ta Bang Marn the film is slated for a 2010 release.  Here's the synopsis:
