James McTeigue Spends Some Nights In Bangkok

James McTeigue Spends Some Nights In Bangkok James McTeigue, known to movie nerds everywhere as the director of V for Vendetta and the first assistant director of The Matrix trilogy, is attached to his first “official” Vendetta follow-up, Bangkok 8. McTeigue unofficially helped out with director work on The Invasion but Bangkok 8 will put his name up there on the big screen again. The movie will be an adaptation of the first of a series of mystery books set in Thailand by John Burdett.

The plot, which sounds like it fits McTeigue’s action sensiblity, follows a Bangkok detective tracking the murders of his partner. In a surprising twist from most mystery stories is that the detective will have to go to seedy locations and also deals with corruption in his own department. That’s unlike most other mystery books. If this guy listens to jazz music, he’s really unique.

The book series is up to three novels so Millenium Films is planning on adapting more in the future. Of course, that’s only if the first one does well. But with sex, drugs, cops, and crooks in Bangkok, how could it miss. Well, it could miss badly, but McTeigue seems to know his way around a camera, so let’s all pray for a good script.
