It's been a long time coming but Wisit Sasanatieng's masked superhero film The Red Eagle is almost upon us. It was years ago now that the director of Tears of the Black Tiger and Citizen Dog announced his plan to resurrect the classic superhero, originally played in a series of films in the 1960s by mega-star Mitr Chaibancha, the original star dying in a stunt gone wrong on the set of his final Red Eagle film.
And, for a while, it appeared as though this new picture may have carried over the luck of Chaibancha's final effort, with filming delayed when new star Ananda Everingham (Shutter) involved in a serious motorcycle accident just weeks before filming was due to start.
The film is nearly complete now with the final bits of post production just wrapping up for an October release. And today the first teaser for the film arrived to show off the result of all the hard work. It looks, as you would expect, spectacular. Check it below.

A nuclear power plant is about to be commissioned upon the signing of corrupt and power hungry politicians. The citizens are in frenzy, as they oppose this plan but they cannot do a thing about it. And so, a hero was born, chasing down the criminals and the corrupt, killing of whatever threatens the city's well being. He leaves a card with his name simply as "THE RED EAGLE". However, the hero becomes the hunted, when the politicians send out their best defense, known as "THE BLACK DEMON".

Hell, Yes!!!
Straight up BADASS!
Thailand does it again!
looks 10x better than Vanish movie.
quality looks like hollywood style
FUCK YEAH!
I wish I could get excited too, but the damn thing just won't load. FROWN
Move over, Batman and Daredevil! Thailand has got a much better "dark knight".
I hope it's better than Mercury Man, which I tried to watch several times and finally gave up as it just wasn't hooking me.
I like the vibe I'm getting from this more, seems very pulpy. In fact now I'm looking for the older movies.
Hello again. Just want to ask the following: is Ms. Bunnag going to play the role of Oy, and is Red Eagle's alter ego in this reboot still Rom Rittikrai?

Considering how bad his motorcycle accident was, is Ananda doing any of his own fight scenes or stunts, or is it all doubles?
Gosh, The Red Eagle was great. I still remember it. Hope that one is as great!
the music in trailer reminds me of Ong Bak 2.
