Jason Statham has followed a tried-and-true path to success that involves kicking, punching and shooting nearly everyone in his way. And fellow Brit Clive Owen is no stranger to similar tactics, if with a bit more deliberation and panache.

And it sounds like they'll both be putting their kill-skills to good use in the action flick THE KILLER ELITE. Owen and Statham kicking ass together? That's a tasty rare steak slathered in awesome sauce with a side order of raw knuckles and .45 caliber rounds.

Not a remake of Sam Peckinpah's 1975 flick (which featured James Caan and Robert Duvall), this one is instead based on a book called "The Featherman", about a group of former special forces soldiers being hunted by assassins. Statham is a Navy SEAL coming out of retirement to help his chum in the thriller by commercials director Gary McKendry.

Statham is also currently stepping in as the new Chuck Bronson for a remake of THE MECHANIC.

the author of the feathermen needs a movie to be made about his life,he is a true life,kick ass,action hero and one of the greatest living adventurers.His name is Sir Ranulph Fiennes(yes he is related)Google the guy.I think Stathams character is based on him.

This sounds wicked!



But I hope they're not gonna force them into American accents, again. I find it very distracting when they do, particularly with Statham.

this is the only Sam Peckinpah remake I will ever approve of, aside from Ostermann Weekend, which I wouldn't see as any sort of remake since it's based on a book.

Awesome! Shoot Em Up and Crank are two of the best action movies produced in the past decade. This sounds like fun.

Sounds exciting
Statham will beat his opponents to a bloody pulp using his frenetic martial arts moves, while Owen bores the bad guys to death with the sound of his monotone voice.

Sounding like a damn good duo, hoping for the best. The Cranks and Shoot 'Em Up rightfully sit next to each other on any shelf.
