John Hyams (Director of Universal Soldier) and Dolph Lundgren have gotten together and co-written the script for the movie Skin Trade. Lundgren has produced the film and, of course, is starring in the film as well. Dolph Lundgren has brought in Tony Jaa and Michael Jai White as well as stunt man and actor Mike Dopud, which means we will see some great martial art stunt action in this film.
Also in the film is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.
Skin Trade takes place in the red light district of Thailand and deals with the subject of human trafficking, which may be why Ekachai Uekrongtham was chosen to direct the film, as he has done a couple of films that dealt with the sex trade and Muay Thai including Pleasure Factory and Beautiful Boxer.
Skin Trade will film in 2014. The release date for Skin Trade has been moved to May, 8, 2015.
