Ananda Everingham Is THE RED EAGLE! * Updated With English Subtitled Teaser *

It's been a long time coming but Wisit Sasanatieng's masked superhero film The Red Eagle is almost upon us. It was years ago now that the director of Tears of the Black Tiger and Citizen Dog announced his plan to resurrect the classic superhero, originally played in a series of films in the 1960s by mega-star Mitr Chaibancha, the original star dying in a stunt gone wrong on the set of his final Red Eagle film.

And, for a while, it appeared as though this new picture may have carried over the luck of Chaibancha's final effort, with filming delayed when new star Ananda Everingham (Shutter) involved in a serious motorcycle accident just weeks before filming was due to start.

A nuclear power plant is about to be commissioned upon the signing of corrupt and power hungry politicians. The citizens are in frenzy, as they oppose this plan but they cannot do a thing about it. And so, a hero was born, chasing down the criminals and the corrupt, killing of whatever threatens the city's well being. He leaves a card with his name simply as "THE RED EAGLE". However, the hero becomes the hunted, when the politicians send out their best defense, known as "THE BLACK DEMON".

The film is nearly complete now with the final bits of post production just wrapping up for an October release. And today the first teaser for the film arrived to show off the result of all the hard work. It looks, as you would expect, spectacular. Check it below.
