‘Chocolate’ lands U.S. distribution deal

Magnolia Pictures’ Magnet has acquired the rights to distribute Prachya Pinkaew’s martial arts flick “Chocolate” in North America, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The trade says "Chocolate" tells the story of an autistic girl (Jeeja Vismistananda) who learns martial arts to track down thugs that owe her ailing mother money.

The film is produced by Sahamongkolfilm International, the company behind the popular actioner “Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior” (also directed by Pinkaew).

A specific date has not been announced yet, but look for the film in theaters sometime next year.
