Specialty distributor TLA Releasing has acquired all rights in North America and the U.K. to “Bangkok Love Story,” a pacy actioner with a gay dimension. Rights were bought from pic’s Thai producer and sales agent Sahamongkolfilm Int’l..

Helmed by Poj Arnon, pic sees a hitman duck out of a kill and instead rescue his target.

It stars Rattanaballang Tohssawat, Chaiwat Tongsaeng and “Ong Bak”‘s Suchao Pongwilai.

Film bowed last month in Thailand, grossing $325,000, and next appears in competition at the Brussels Int’l Film fest and the upcoming Hong Kong Lesbian and Gay Film Festival .

TLA recently acquired similar dual territory rights to Alex de la Iglesia’s marriage farce “Ferpect Crime” and Emilio Martinez Lazaro’s lesnian sex comedy “The two Sides of the bed.”

“Bangkok” will be released by TLA in Summer 2008.
