Bangkok - Thailand's military coup Tuesday night hasn't stopped the filming of Nicholas Cage's 'Bangkok Dangerous,' although there were rumours Wednesday that the city had proven too hot for the Hollywood star.
One source working on the film who requested anonymity told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa that Cage left on a flight out of Bangkok after the military took power in a bloodless coup late Tuesday.
The producers refused to confirm or deny the report.
But they did say that work continued Wednesday on the film, with scenes not including Cage.
The film, a remake of a 1999 Hong Kong production, is still on schedule for a mid-October completion, said Poj Chalermpong, a public relations' representative for the company.
Filming began in July with Hong Kong brothers Danny and Oxide Pang, who directed the original, now directing the remake.
The remake that stars Cage as a hit man who comes to Bangkok on a job is being produced by Hollywood companies Saturn, IEG (Initial Entertainment Group) and Blue Star.
Poj said it appeared that Thailand will be back to normal after the coup 'pretty soon' and the production will not be interrupted.
'It seems like it's not a big issue,' Poj said of the coup. 'Things should be back to normal pretty soon.'
