‘The Bank Job’ New Movie Clips

Lionsgate has released five clips from the upcoming heist film “The Bank Job,” starring Jason Statham. They show a group of bank robbers attempting an easy score. As a result, they put themselves and lots of others in trouble.

The movie tells the true story of the 1971 Baker Street robbery, in which thieves tunneled into the vault of a Lloyds bank and looted safe deposit boxes and jewelry worth the equivalent of £5 million ($10 million) today. Nobody was ever arrested, none of the money recovered and the press had a gag order placed on them.

“The Bank Job” is directed by Roger Donaldson, the man behind such films as “Cocktail,” “Cadillac Man,” “Species,” “The Recruit” and many others. The new movie hits theaters on March 7th.

‘The Bank Job’ Poster

I became a fan of Jason Statham the moment I saw “Snatch”, and it’s been gratifying seeing his career move from minor supporting actor, to that of legitimate leading action man. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy too. Anyway, one of his new films coming out is called “The Bank Job” and the good folks over at Cinimatical are the first ones to get their hands on the poster.

The synopsis for The Bank Job looks like this: “In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London’s Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth millions and millions of pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then suddenly disappeared – the result of a UK Government ‘D’ Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden in those boxes, involving murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family – a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved.”
