It’s nice to have our own fully fledged action star. Even though Jason Statham hasn’t really climbed even close to those lofty heights occupied by your Arnie’s and Stallones’s, we reckon such status is in the post for the lad. Ok, it might be coming second class, but non the less!
He of lantern jaw and much reduced hair growth is set to roll out his popular ‘Transporter’ vehicle once again with news of a third film being announced recently.
Statham will reprise his multi-role driver/delivery persona Frank Martin in another blur of martial arts, fast cars, guns, bangs and female eye candy. The film will shoot for 16 weeks in both Russia and France.
A possible blip for fans of such testosterone driven fun and games is word that ‘Transporter’ one and two helmer Louis Leterrier is giving way to Olivier Megaton, a second unit director on ‘Hitman’ for direction duties. Luc Besson will produce.
Francois Berleand (‘Transporter’) returns and the cast adds ‘Prison Breaks’ Robert Knepper.
Providing you’re not after much of a mental workout, you can’t beat these films for sheer pop corn munching entertainment value. Disengage and enjoy we say!
