The film follows a hitman (Cage) who goes to Bangkok on assignment. The original film's main character is a deaf-mute whose disability makes him a fearless, unflinching gunman. That character has been changed in the remake.

The film follows a hitman (Cage) who goes to Bangkok on assignment. The original film's main character is a deaf-mute whose disability makes him a fearless, unflinching gunman. That character has been changed in the remake.
'We'd like to keep him the same, but we understand that from a marketing point of view Nic needs to have some lines,' Oxide was quoted as saying in the International Herald Tribune. 'So what we're going to do is transform his girlfriend instead into a deaf-mute. This switch will maintain the drama of communication between the two main characters.'[6]
Cage's character's girlfriend is portrayed by Hong Kong actress Charlie Yeung, who prepared for her role by learning Thai dance and sign language.[7] [8]
In addition, Cage's character will have a local 'errand boy' with whom he develops a bond. That role is portrayed by Thai film and television actor Chakrit Yamnam.[9]
The production was disrupted by the 2006 Thailand coup d'état, with producers temporarily suspending filming. They had hoped to complete the Bangkok production work by October 2006, but it might delayed further. Cage remained in Bangkok, though he had a private jet readied to depart the country in case of any threat.[10]
Production was eventually completed in October 2006.[11]
The film is due for release in the United States on August 22, 2008.
