A remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson pic, The Mechanic finds The Statham as the unlikely-named Arthur Bishop.

The Mechanic posterAce Showbiz has released a promo trailer for the upcoming movie The Mechanic, starring Jason Statham and Ben Foster.

The Mechanic is a remake of the 1972 action movie that starred the late Charles Bronson. Bronson played Arthur Bishop, a mob hit man who operates in a world of his own an uncompromising world where conventional rules of morality don’t apply and where one wrong move could cost him his life.

Together they become an unmatchable team of globetrotting killers until the pupil’s ruthlessness puts him on a collision course with his teacher.
