BANGKOK DANGEROUS on DVD and Blu-ray

As a hired assassin, Joe (Nicolas Cage) is the best in the business, but the years of stone-cold murder have taken their toll. Joe's plan to make this current assignment in Bangkok his last takes a wild turn when he violates one of the most important rules of the game. Now the hunter is the hunted in this hard-driving, action-packed thriller from Lionsgate Home Ent.

BANGKOK DANGEROUS is the remake of a 1999 Thai movie directed by Danny and Oxide Pang. The remake was helmed by the Pang brothers themselves -- their second American effort after THE MESSENGERS. The two movies share the same Visual Effects Supervisor, Bruce Jones, whose career dates back to STAR TREK -- THE NEXT GENERATION in the 1980s. "I worked with Danny and Oxide on THE MESSENGERS, so we had already developed a pretty fair form of communication utilizing pictures, references and sketches I would often mock up for feedback. And, of course, it helps that they both speak English fairly well. Also, every shot in the film was storyboarded, and they were very open to my suggestions as we proceeded through preparation.

"When I got involved, they were planning for about 40 vfx shots only. That's one of the reasons we did not assign an effects producer to the show originally. Later on, I regretted not having a producer as the shot count continued to grow... we ended up with over 200 shots. But once we were into principal photography, the train had already left the station... So, I handled the vfx producing myself, with the help from my assistant, Ekarat Srathana."

The various sequences were assigned to four key vendors: Cinesoup, Michael Kaelin & Associates, Curv Studios and Reality Check.
