Mystery Jason Statham/Ric Roman Waugh Project Now Filming In The UK And Ireland
You know the first reactions that comes out when news breaks of a new Jason Statham film being shot is excitement. To this, expect as much now that we know that the Transporter and Expendables franchise cohort is now in toe with a new film from Greenland director Ric Roman Waugh. What are the details, exactly? We know the project was launched by international sales outlet Black Bear at the Marche du Film last year with 2 Guns director Baltasar Kormakur attached before having to leave. Also, there’s no title or any real core plot details to divulge, save for the vague outline reported by Andreas Wiseman in a Deadline exclusive on Tuesday, describing a story that follows “a man pulled back towards the ghosts of his violent past”. That whole entire quote is a subgenre of its own, practically, right along with the cadre of Dad-Action films like Nobody, […]

THE BEEKEEPER: Check Out The Red-Band Trailer For David Ayer’s New Jason Statham Actioner
John Wick kills people with pencils. As far as competition goes, Jason Statham’s latest lead role needs nothing more than a jar of honey to do the trick in what MGM has up its sleeve from director David Ayer with revenge and retribution thriller, The Beekeeper. This one’s been a go-to for a while now as everyone who’s kept up with Statham’s escapdes as a Transporter and an Expendable up to this point has been curious as heck to learn more about this project since its announcement last year with Suicide Squad and Bright helmer David Ayer attached to direct. Statham headlines The Beekeeper which centers on one man’s brutal campaign for vengeance, as it takes on national stakes when he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as “Beekeepers.” The movie also stars Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, and Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, […]
EXPEND4BLES Teases Statham V. Uwais In A New Clip That Takes Hollywood To Task Once Again
Lionsgate is currently campaigning for the upcoming release of Expend4bles next week, and that includes its volley of preview clips that’ll be circulating online until then. The latest clip is available below as well, featuring Jason Statham and Iko Uwais which you can view below: Here’s the thing: We’ve been here before. Say what you will about Mile 22, I certainly have. Indeed, that film was in different hands, although it doesn’t change the fact that Uwais hasn’t had a proper presentation of his skillset as an action star apart from his feature film showcase in “Wu Assssins” spin-off, Fistful Of Vengeance on Netflix. Expend4bles is directed by Scott Waugh who we last heard from following the aforementioned streamer’s release of his Jackie Chan/John Cena headliner, Hidden Strike. The film is an ample serving of action for fans of the genre and Chan alike, but it’s important to note that […]

Indeed, it’s the return once again of Sly and co. for Expend4bles, and with that exact spelling and tagline as indicated at last year’s CinemaCon. A new generation of stars join the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles. Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone are joined for the first time by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia.

OPERATION FORTUNE: Lionsgate Reveals Official Trailer For Long-Awaited Action Adventure From Guy Ritchie
Reviews are mixed following early screenings of Guy Ritchie’s newest venture, Operation Fortune, which has since suffered a long stalemate when its release through STX was kiboshed early last year. Say what you may of the reasons now that we’re a year later, but the film is now in the hands of Lionsgate for its stateside release, and on top of Ritchie’s pairing with leading man of action Jason Statham once more and an ensemble cast therein, the addition of the phenomenal Aubrey Plaza feels like the ultimate sweetener of a long-awaited deal. In the film, super spy Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) must track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology wielded by billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant). Reluctantly teamed with some of the world’s best operatives (Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone), Fortune and his crew recruit Hollywood’s biggest movie star Danny Francesco […]

WRATH OF MAN Review – Jason Statham & Director Guy Ritchie Bring The Fury
Jason Statham has had a long and varied career as an actor. If you close your eyes though and picture a “Jason Statham” movie, I would hazard a guess that the mental image that is conjured up is one of two possible archetypes from his filmography: one the “action hero”, stoic and invincible, the other the “charming hoodlum” funny and quick-witted with just a bit of grime under his fingernails. Both are capable but in very different ways. These two sides of Statham have never really coexisted in the same film. They feel pulled from two different eras of his performing life- a divide between the days of him as a “character actor” and as a “movie star.” With his latest film, WRATH OF MAN, those two aspects are fully represented under the guidance of the filmmaker who gave him his first big break, writer/director Guy Ritchie (THE GENTLEMEN). WRATH […]

WRATH OF MAN: Jason Statham Unleashes It All In The Official Trailer
It’s been two years since Jason Statham thrilled us with high-seas fracas in The Meg and the boorish and macho shenaniganry alongside The Rock that was Fast And Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Now he’s back and in full-‘Stath’ regalia, having since rejoined director Guy Ritchie for the first of two films together, and thus, we now have a look at what’s in store for Ritchie’s Le Convoyeur revisal, Wrath Of Man apart from last week’s poster reveal. A mysterious and wild-eyed new cash truck security guard (Jason Statham) surprises his coworkers during a heist in which he unexpectedly unleashes precision skills. The crew is left wondering who he is and where he came from. Soon, the marksman’s ultimate motive becomes clear as he takes dramatic and irrevocable steps to settle a score.
