Gather round, all you Nic Cage fans — have we got a treat for you. Not only to we have a cool first look at the poster for Cage’s upcoming rogue assassin flick Bankok Dangerous, we also have the above production still to show you, which as you can see… shows Nicolas Cage rocking a cowboy hat on a riverboat in Southeast Asia, looking inconspicuous as always. And wait, is that Marc Anthony behind him? Probably not.

Bankok Dangerous, which is a remake by Oxide and Danny Pang of their 1999 film with the same name, tells the story of a hitman in Bankok who loses his edge, falling for a local woman and befriending an errand boy. Of course, this lack of focus on killing people puts him in even more dangers and he must use his assassin skills and his kick-ass mullet to defeat all of Thailand’s goon’s, as any fun-loving American would.

The film itself looks like it could have some slick action in it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for Oscar nominations. As well, I have a hard time believing that it can possibly live up to the Michael Bay-size awesome factor of the poster below (click to enlarge).

Bankok Dangerous bursts into theaters on August 22nd.
