In the original Bangkok Dangerous, the main character (an assassin) was deaf-mute. A very interesting angle for a killer, and one that would’ve made for good conversations had that aspect of the film made its way into the English-language remake. Ah, but it’s not to be. I mean, could you imagine hiring Nicolas Cage for a film and then giving him no lines? Seriously — the guy overacts as it is; what in the world would it look like if Cage had to tell us everything through facial expressions? There’s a chance the dude’s cheeks would literally explode on camera.
But anyway, above you will find the trailer for Bangkok Dangerous; a remake of the 1999 Pang Brothers film, directed by the boys behind the original. Here, Cage plays an assassin who travels to Thailand to kill a bunch of people, but falls for a local Thai girl in the process. Cue feelings of regret … yada yada. For those who saw the original, how do you feel about them removing such a crucial part for the remake?
Bangkok Dangerous hits theaters on August 22.
