Nathan Jones Watches The Kiddies In SOM TAM

When the folks at Sahamongkol told me during the European Film Market that they were preparing a new children’s action film starring Nathan Jones - the behemoth from Tom Yum Goong and Fearless - the concept was silly enough to get me giggling like a little school girl.  They had no artwork or anything to share at the time, however, so I’ve held off mentioning it until now.  That image to the left is the film’s poster and yes, you can see the young girl from Born To Fight is one of the film’s young stars.  You can also see that Jones is bright red, which is the film’s central gimmick:  whenever he eats spicy Thai mango salad - the som tam of the title - he turns bright red and temporarily loses control of himself due to the extreme spiciness.  Yes, it’s very silly but that’s the point.  And added little perk here is that Jones apparently squares off against the appropriately named Conan Stevens - himself a seven foot tall behemoth - in this one which should be something to behold ...

    That is pretty much the most awesome thing I’m likely to see today.  Makes me want to have kids so I can make them watch it.  And whatever happened to POWER KIDS, while we’re discussing insane Thai children’s films?
