I’m flying!
Originally the lead role for the film “Bangkok Kung Fu” went to Film Rattapoom, since his baby mama scandal with Annie Brooke broke out, Film was removed from the project and is now replaced by teen idol Wisawa “Tomo” Taiyanonnt from the Thai boyband K-Otic. It’s a teen flick by RS records production, you can’t have a scandal ridden lead like Film Rattapoom who possibly had gotten a girl pregnant, so they replaced him with Tomo–a lesser star with no scandal. Though the film was slated for February 2011 release date, the date has been pushed back to mid 2011 because the script was rewritten and looking for Film’s replacement took time.
According to the producer of the film Khun Ongat Singlampong, Tomo was chosen for the role because he resolved all their problems and is a fresh face for moviegoers.
“As for the news that we were looking for a replacement for Film, it’s not anything like that because were created a new script. After Film couldn’t do the film, the staff team held a meeting and P’Tom (famous director Yuthlert Sippapak) resolved everything. Then we went searching for a new actor for the new role. We had two people in mind like what was written in the news. For the first person, he was suited for the role but I’m not giving out his name out of respect. As for Tomo, he is our artist, so I am able to talk about him. In the end, we chose Tomo because the character in the new script, he is fresh-looking and we wanted a fresh face for this project, who has never acted before [in a film or lakorn].”
Mario Maurer and “Pae” Arak Amornsuppasiri are hopefully still in this project. I knew when the scandal broke about Annie and Film, they were concerned about Mario and Pae’s scheduling if the film was to be postponed.
Tomo practicing kung fu with is leading lady Kaew Sirimongkonsakol, a member of the girl group FFK.
The original cast, Mario, Pae, Film, and “Bank” Athigit Pringprom (lead singer of Black Vanilla). I think the only person who is out is Film.
I can’t tell them apart, I’m just kidding.
Don’t do that Tomo, you can slip and fall and cut yourself. Ee. Blood!
I’m sorry but I’ve seen MV’s where Tomo was in and I gotta say he can’t act.
This story will air on whic channel?
Oh wow! I’m interested! I actually like K-otic and FFK! Yay! Please be update on this for me! X)
is that the guy from waii mv from her song break?
I like how they use someone who has arm muscle and not flabby arms (film -_-).
Oooh, Tomo is kinda cute. He kinda reminds me of Bie’s step brother in Hua Jai Sila in the first pic.
dang im suprise wit this…but im a fan of K-OTIC!!! no problems, p’tomo is talented :’)
awesome! He looks hott!
can’t wait to watch!
Yeah, at least it’s not film, Yeah he’s out. I love FFK. K-otic is ok, they would be better if they dont use japanese or korean lyric
The first cover with Film and Mario and Pae and Bank looks awesome. I would watch it. But, it’s fine if Tomo is in place of Film. I don’t really know who he is, but I can’t wait to see what the storyline is.
@Emine. Did you not even look at the title? Film’s out Tomo’s In.
Can’t Wait to See watch Film Rattapoom in the new movie.
Film Rattapoom is so hot & a great actor… =)
i wonder if the other person they were considering was Nadech kugimiya because he was asked about this movie after film was pulled out. i would have loved nadech in it!! mario/pae/nadech/bank! wow, that would have been pretty hot!!! i still wanna see this movie though because i’m a fan of pae aruk!
I’m so happy to see Kaew acting. Kaew and Tomo look so cutie.
