Statham rides again in Transporter 3! We get wind of this third installment thanks to our friends at comingsoon:
Lionsgate announced today that it has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to Transporter 3. Jason Statham returns as iconic action hero Frank Martin in the third installment of the EuropaCorp-produced series. The announcement was made today by Lionsgate’s Jason Constantine, head of Acquisitions and Co-Productions, and Tom Ortenberg, President, Theatrical Films.
Olivier Megaton directs from a script written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The movie is produced by EuropaCorp, TF1 Films Productions, Grive Productions and Apipoulai Production, in association with Current Entertainment. Besson produces for EuropaCorp. Lionsgate will release the film at Thanksgiving, on November 26, 2008. The film will be distributed in Canada by Maple Pictures.
Although I’m not a huge fan of the Transporter films, I do enjoy the fighting within them. The firehose fight in the second film is among the coolest fight choreography that I have ever seen. These are films that I don’t expect much from, but usually enjoy myself enough due to the action.
This film is currently in post production and we should be expecting some trailers and stills shortly. We will be sure to keep you up to speed.
