SKIN TRADE (Ekachai Uekrongtham, 2014)

Indeed, these out-takes are great. Scandinavian vibes for the music, american and australian influences for the ambiance, some thaï knowledge in the action and the framing. How can a descent person not wait this movie ?

Not because no distribution pick-up or release has been announced yet means there hasn't been anything going on. Some productions rush to publicize stuff in the trades (WAR PIGS) while others rather keep things quiet.

Do we know who is distributing?

[Jox]

Yes, but I don't know if I can say it yet.

Imdb says the thaï release date is May 26th. that seems realistic.

May 26th is for Thailand, according to a Thai movie theater chain tweet last week. April in the US apparently, possibly the same week as FAST 7 but rather limited I expect (better than nothing)...

I suppose it would make sense to tie in with Fast as it's Jaa's other American debut. I would imagine 1-2 theatres may well put on a double feature.

Any idea how big the U.S. release is going to be? Like US4 small?

Everything's great (except the song, but i'm sure it only because it's been "home" edited ).

It's kind of spoilerish of them to post it (I hope the FB page doesn't overkill the buzz for the film), not mentioning the cheesy "it cannot help but touch your heart" as if people needed to be told how they should feel...

And I'm not sure having the initial scene with Dolph walking through the cages, before then cutting to him firing off a machine gun looks that good. ha ha.

We should get some news soon I guess, aren't we ? if they plan an early april release, it gives them a 3 month promotion. Maybe a new trailer (and som overseas release news ^^).
