A TV adaptation of 2003 Thai action cult classic, "Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior", is in the works by L.A./Madrid-based 5X Media, Thailand’s Sahamongkol Film International, and Hong Kong-based O4 Media Partners.

Yalun Tu ("NCIS: Hawai’i", "Wu Assassins") is attached to the eight episode premium drama project as script writer and show runner. 

"The Fist of Ong Bak" will be produced by Ryan Lindenberg ("Green Lantern"). 

Ex-Keshet boss Alon Shtruzman ("La Brea') and Scott Einbinder ('The Hitman’s Bodyguard') are executive producers. 

The series is scheduled to release globally in 2025.

Production details have not been disclosed. 

Shtruzman and former Bunim/Murray CEO, Gil Goldschein ('Keeping Up with the Kardashians"), joined 5X Media as co-CEOs in April this year. 

5X was founded by Scott Einbinder in 2023. Einbinder, previously co-CEO of Cristal Pictures, is now executive chairman. 

Gary Pudney’s O4 Media will distribute the "The Fist of Ong Bak" in Asia Pacific.
