More images and a trailer from Tony Jaa’s Ong Bak 3

Martial arts legend Tony Jaa writes, directs, produces and stars in Ong Bak 3, the third and final installment in one of the most beloved action series of all time. Magnolia Pictures has released new images and the first U.S. trailer for the film, and you can see them all below.

Picking up at the cliffhanger ending where Ong Bak 2 leaves off, Jaa ramps up the epic supernatural elements of the previous film, while still maintaining the trademark bone-crunching action that the series is known for. This time he must face his ultimate enemy: a fierce supernatural warrior named “Demon Crow”, played by fellow martial arts sensation Dan Chupong, from Dynamite Warrior. Eagerly anticipated by martial arts aficionados, the matchup between Jaa and Chupong is described as explosive.

Ong Bak 3 premieres on VOD, Apple iTunes, Xbox Live, Playstation, Amazon and Vudu on December 3, 2010, and then in theaters on January 14, 2011.
