  • Thailand : Prision Fight


    Ross A. Lincoln
    February 5, 2016



    Bob Cooper and Richard Saperstein of Storyscape Entertainment have partnered up with Pioneer PicturesChampion, set in the dangerous, lucrative and somewhat misunderstood world of Thai prison fighting.

    Tyler Mitchell developed the project while working alongside Cooper at Landscape Entertainment and will be producing.

    The script is by Gary Scott Thompson, co-writer of The Fast and the Furious, 2 Fast 2 Furious.

    Dating back to the 1767 Sino-Burmese War when Thai prisoners of war were, according to legend, granted release after demonstrating great skill in organized fights against their captors, the modern scene offers inmates with lengthy prison terms the chance to earn money, and occasionally, reduced sentences by going toe to toe against international professional Muay Thai fighters.

    Champion will follow an American prisoner abroad who must navigate that system and learn Muay Thai in order to earn his freedom.

    Storyscape Entertainment has a first-look feature deal with Broad Green Pictures as well as a number of projects in development at other studios.

    Among them, FBI Wedding at Universal directed by and starring Jason Bateman, the Colin Trevorrow-produced Stealing TimeThe War Magician, produced by and starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Richard Saperstein recently began pre-production on the horror film remake The Blob, while Bob Cooper is in post-production on Maudie, starring Ethan Hawke and Sally Hawkins.

    Pioneer Pictures, Kravis and Herrmann, are also producing the John D. Rockefeller biopic Titan,

    Beat up foreigners, get your jail time reduced: Thai prison rules

    "Beat up foreigners, get your jail time reduced." These are the rules at Klong Prem Central Prison, Thailand.

    Where the world over jail inmates are rewarded with reduced sentences for good behaviour, this prison has it the other way around - the inmates have to fight foreign fighters in a tournament called "Prison Fight".

    Prison Fight is a charity event organised by Thailand's Department of Corrections. The organised boxing matches which are held regularly across various Thai prisons offer prisoners a shot at reducing their jail terms or in some cases even gaining their freedom.

    In case an inmate wins, they not only get prize money, apart from getting a chance to have their sentence reduced.

    The Thai prisoners usually end up winning most of the fights mostly because they are eager to get out of prison and also because most of them have years of experience. But being a good fighter isn't the only requirement - one must also have a track record of good behaviour.

    "Prison fights are done to help the prisoners. It lets the prisoners fight so they can earn money," said Pek, the Prison Fights coordinator.

    "They also fight to reduce the time of their sentences. To reduce their sentence and to bring honor and fame to Thailand, if they can defeat foreign fighters and fight a lot. Some of the fighters are in for drugs, robbery or murder. There are boxers doing life or 50 years. There are boxers who can never get out."

          Gladiators. Put them in a Colosseum with hungry lions and tigers. Survivors win their freedom. I'd pay to watch that.

              Inside the Thai prison where murderers can fight for their freedom: Gangster who stabbed teenager in the head is released six years early after winning Muay Thai match against a converted Buddhist from Kansas

              • Noy Khaopan was freed early from Thailand's Khao Prik Prison for winning match
              • He beat US citizen Cody Moberly in a bloody five round fight for his freedom
              • Khaopan was jailed for 11 years for stabbing a teenager in the head in 2010
              • The gangster, who is in his twenties, said he was drunk and 'lost control'
              • He took part in Prison Fight, a prison scheme to fight in Muay Thai matches for early release


              Jailed murderers can fight for their freedom in bloody Muay Thai matches as part of a prison scheme in Thailand.

              Gangster Noy Khaopan was released six years early from Khao Prik Prison in northern Thailand after winning his fight against a Buddhist convert from Kansas who now lives in the country as a professional fighter.

              Khaopan, a heavily tattooed father-of-one, was serving an 11-year sentence for stabbing a teenage boy in the head in 2010 when the prison introduced Prison Fight.

              It allows inmates to compete in Muay Thai matches against competitive fighters to win their freedom. If they lose, they return to jail and the pro-fighter goes home with prize money.

              Khaopan won his match against Cody Moberly, who moved to Thailand from Kansas after falling in love with the sport by watching it in videos, and is now back on the streets.

              Now a Buddhist convert, he said he'd gone in to their match with the murderer's victim 'on his shoulders'.

              A similar fight-for-freedom scheme spawned the careers of two prolific Thai fighters, one of whom competed for the country at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

              Another, who was jailed for drug possession, is considered Thailand's most famous fighter.

              A Showtime documentary about Khaopan and Moberly's fight lays bare the dilemma at its heart - whether murderers, or inmates with violent convictions, should be able to take part.


              In a documentary about his fight, he told Showtime producers how he'd learned to survive in Khao Prik Prison





              Khaopan was serving an 11 year sentence for murder at the prison when it introduced the scheme, allowing him to train behind bars and travel outside for fights


              He described the brutality inside the prison where others had succumb to beatings from guards
