Tony Jaa should play HANUMAN in Hollywood

I have always been interested in learning about and understanding different cultures. I have seen a lot of Chinese films and I have really wanted to know about Thailand. Thailand and India share a lot of fairytales and folk stories such as the Ramayan, much like Chinese stories like Journey to the West which was made in Hollywood as Forbidden Kingdom.

I think Tony Jaa has the looks, body, talent and martial art skills to bring to life the character of Hanuman from the Ramayan. Especially if he goes to Hollywood with it..

I can see Tony Jaa play a funny, warm, bubbly and fast Hanuman. I think he should join the new movie Rama: Rise of Dharma which is being made in Britain with quite a big cast. I don't think any big star can do him better. They are rumors that Amithabh Bachan was approached for the role of Janak and Al Pacino for Ravan.

for godsakes keep him away from funny stuff, he's great as like the noble warrior type, I reallyyy don't want to see him popping up in a bunch of comedies

I think you know nothing about Thai/Indian/Chinese culture.. who told you that role would be a comedy? Go and study the culture first. In China the story has been adapted several times as the Monkey king, last played by Donnie Yen in a $15 billion budget film and Jet Li before that. It will show the scope of Tony Jaa and bring him to Hollywood.
I also think you don't even know who Hanuman is.. he IS a 'noble warrior type'.. shows how much you know... idiot!
