Jason Statham still has deliveries to make and faces to kick. He’ll be back as soldier-turned-driver Frank Martin for TRANSPORTER 3, but without director Louis Leterrier.
This time around, explosive-sounding director Olivier Megaton will be the one pitting Statham’s wheelman against various gun-toting European supermodels and martial artist villains (might I suggest Cyril Raffaelli?) while concocting new ways to get our reticent hero shirtless and slick (perhaps a brawl in a cream processing plant?). Producer Luc Besson will presumably be zipping out a script for the flick, should that prove necessary.
Statham’s French friend François Berléand returns once again, while PRISON BREAK actor Robert Knepper, already inducted into the extended Besson family with HITMAN, will also be part of the cast. The movie will shoot in Russia and France, some time after Statham finishes dashing through another “franchise”, CRANK 2.
