Jason Statham’s “Mechanic” Poster

Check out the first poster for hitman thriller “The Mechanic“ starring Jason Statham which is remake of the movie with the same name from 1972.

The original which was directed by Michael Winner starred Charles Bronson.

The remake of “The Mechanic“ is directed by Simon West from the script written by Karl Gajdusek.

The story focuses on a highly-skilled but emotionally detached hitman who is planning to retire when a young man asks to be trained up in the profession. Only problem is that this new apprentice is the son of one of the Mechanic’s victims, and may have more in mind than just a City and Guilds apprenticeship.

“The Mechanic“ is set to be released on December 15, 2010.
