A Man Will Rise
''A Man Will Rise'' (originally known as ''Local Hero'')〔 is an uncompleted comedy western film directed by Tony Jaa and Vitidnan Rojanapanich, and starring Jaa, Dolph Lundgren, Conan Stevens, and Byron Gibson. Set in 1950s Thailand, the film follows a local gangster who terrorizes a town. When a young man opposes him, the gangster hires a group of foreign hit men to kill the rebel and silence the town.〔
In January 2013, Jean-Claude Van Damme was rumored to be co-starring alongside Jaa; in reality, he was never available due to scheduling issues, and as a result, Lundgren was cast as an alternative. The film entered production in April 2013, but came to an abrupt halt after three months of filming. Sahamongkol Film International filed a $49–50 million lawsuit against Jaa, Universal Pictures, and United International Pictures, claiming Jaa was in breach of his contract by accepting a role in ''Fast and Furious 7''. After two years of legal proceedings, Sahamongkol dropped the lawsuit in July 2015. Despite this, production of ''A Man Will Rise'' has not continued, and the film remains uncompleted.
==Background==
News of the film first emerged under the working title of ''Local Hero'' in January 2013. Jean-Claude Van Damme was rumored to be co-starring alongside Jaa, but he could not commit due to scheduling issues; he was filming ''Swelter'' at the time. Dolph Lundgren was cast as an alternative.〔
Filming began in April 2013; Jaa was announced as co-director the same month. After three months of filming, production came to an abrupt halt with only 20% of the film complete.〔("Thai actor Tony Jaa talks about making movies in Hollywood and Kong" ), ''www.news.asiaone.com'', published 03-31-2015. Retrieved 09-05-2015.〕 Sahamongkol Film International filed a $49–50 million lawsuit against Jaa, Universal Pictures, and United International Pictures in September 2013, claiming that Jaa was in breach of his contract by accepting the role of Kiet in ''Fast and Furious 7''.〔Zahra, Nageen. ("Fast and Furious 7: Tony Jaa's Contract Delays Premiere in Thailand" ), ''www.segmentnext.com'', published April, 2015.

("'Fast and Furious 7' screening stopped in Thailand" ), ''www.bangkokpost.com'', published 03-27-2015.

("Tycoon 'furious' over thai star Tony Jaa's defection" ), ''www.filmjournal.com'', published 10-14-2013.
