I've been dying to see it ever since they posted that trailer on www.kungfucinema.com . Looks like Tony Jaa finally broke away from the "they stole my statue / elephant / rice-crispy squares recipe" plot formula, which is a welcome change. Yeah, sure, this is pretty much fight porn (not a negative comment, btw : I LOVE fight porn), but that's no reason not to have a plot that is at least a little interesting 
Plus I love the concept this time around : looks like the main character gets trained by fighters from all over Asia, and the coreography is gonna switch seamlessly from Muay Thai to Kung Fu to Kenjutsu to Silat to Kalaripayat to etc. With a performer as gifted as Jaa, this concept should make for truly kickass fight scenes!

Some bad news apparently: http://www.kungfucinema.com/?p=2594
I hope they manage to save the flick and end up with a final product worthy of the awesome trailer.
