Guy that did V for Vendetta. The male lead is Thai in the book, so we'll see who gets cast, and if it's a big budget thang.

20 forum dollars say they will fudge the race and make him white.

Or at least suppose to be part Asian but looks white anyways.

40 forum dollars if you can say "Whoa....I'm half thai"

Actually, even in the book he is supposed to be half-Thai/half-white (his mom is a prostitute and his dad is unknown). They'll probably keep this angle (hey, it's another chance for an Asian prostitute) but just cast a white guy with black hair for the role.

As for the rest of the book, it basically centers around the intrigue of the sex and drug industries in Thailand... I think we all know where this is headed.
