Statham gets Greedy

I’ll be the first guy to admit that Jason Statham is probably the coolest dude working in movies (sorry George) but truth be told, I haven’t liked a single thing he’s done since SNATCH. However, after hearing what the man had to say a project he is currently trying to get made, I can’t help but be intrigued.

We’ve got a movie we’re trying to do, written by David and Janet Peoples, in the vein of an old film, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE. It’s not a remake or anything, but it’s a little bit like that, about relationships and how greed contaminates the relationships these three people have. The working title is ‘THE GRABBERS.'”

I love the idea of greed infecting the relationships of men, and if this film can pull it off the way the Bogart/Huston/Huston classic did, it could be a doozy.
