Buckle Up and Get Ready for Three More 'Transporter' Movies
1 hour ago | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
If you thought you saw the last of Frank Martin in theaters, think again. THR reports that Luc Besson's production company EuropaCorp announced at the Cannes Film Festival that as part of a three year co-production agreement with Chinese film company Fundamental Films we'll be getting three new Transporter movies. There's no word as to whether Jason Statham will reprise his role of Martin, though the cable TV spin-off starred a different actor in British actor Chris Vance. The productions will be budgeted around $30 million to $40 million with at least one of the films likely to shoot in China. I can picture the Great Wall of China chase sequence already. The partnership between the two companies stipulates a minimum of 15 Europa films will be released...

You Asked For It: Three New Transporter Films Coming
3 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
No one can ever accuse Jason Statham of phoning it in. He may not make the best films in the world, but the guy has to stay in crazy good shape. With the announcement from Cannes that three more films in Luc Besson’s Transporter series are in the works, there’s a high likelihood that Statham will remain in good shape for several years to come.
Luc Besson’s production company EuropaCorp plans to co-produce numbers 4, 5, and 6 in the Transporter franchise, along with the Chinese company Fundamental Films. This means that at least one of the films will likely be shot in China. The films are budgeted between $30 and $40 million.
There’s no news yet if Jason Statham will carry on his lead role as Frank Martin, the badass in the dark suit who delivers packages with no questions asked. The actor has been doing his franchise thing elsewhere »

Cannes 2013: Transporter 4-6 Announced
11 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
It's a long five years since Jason Statham last fastened his seatbelt for a Transporter movie. In the meantime, Stath has gone on to bigger things in the Expendables and others, and The Transporter has continued quietly without him, as a TV series with Chris Vance. More movies are finally on the way though, with Luc Besson's EuropaCorp just striking a deal at Cannes for another three instalments.Before you get too excited, there's no mention at all yet that Statham will be returning to his signature role of Frank Martin, the driver who never changes the deal and never opens the package. Statham played the role in three films (four if you include his cameo in Collateral) and sad as it feels to say it, we'd kind of be surprised to see him return: it would feel like a step backwards for a man recently confirmed to be »
'Side Effects', 'True Blood', 'Beautiful Creatures' and 'Cleopatra' on DVD and Blu-ray This Week
21 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Side Effects Thanks to my visit to Cannes I no longer have to cite Side Effects as the only good movie of 2013 so far. In fact, once Friday rolls around another one of my favorite films of 2013 hits theaters in the form of Before Midnight. However, back to Side Effects, a truly fantastic, smart and intriguing film from Steven Soderbergh. The disc arrived shortly before I had to leave for Cannes so I haven't had a chance to watch it again, but I did see it twice in theaters and will welcome another visit once I get back home.
True Blood: The Complete Fifth Season I started watching this right before I left for Cannes as well and actually took the DVD discs with me to Cannes, hoping I'd have some opportunity to watch at least a couple more episodes. No dice. I really enjoy the "True Blood" series »

Dark New TV Spot For Jason Statham In ‘Hummingbird’
20 May 2013 5:56 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The man who might already be a British cult-legend, Jason Statham, continues to work, work, work and this time taking on Hummingbird. This looks like it has a lot of potential, and a rather great-looking neon effect, echoing the likes of Drive and Taxi Driver.
The film is written and directed by Steven Knight in his first major feature, Knight also wrote Eastern Promises so this should be brutal, in a good way. In Hummingbird, Statham plays Joey Jones, a homeless man on the run from a military court martial. But, you knew there’d be one, he’s a damaged ex-special forces soldier navigating London’s criminal underworld and then he seizes an opportunity to assume another man’s identity and transforms into an avenging angel. I say: Bring It On.
The only thing that worries me for it’s distribution is the name change that’s taken place in different countries, »

New Transporter Trilogy Announced
19 May 2013 7:32 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Luc Besson and his EuropaCorp have partnered with China's Fundamental Films to develop a slate of movies as part of the two companies' three-year deal that was announced last July. Part of the agreement is to co-finance, produce and distribute the next three installments in the "Transporter" franchise. Each film will have a budget between $30 million and $40 million, and at least one of them will be shot in China. No word if Jason Statham will reprise his role. The first "Transporter" film hit theaters in 2002 and went on to gross $44 million on a budget of $21 million. EuropaCorp decided to move forward with a sequel and was rewarded with earnings of $85 million. The third film was soon greenlit and went on to become the highest-earning installment in the franchise, with $109 million. »
Fast and Furious 6 – review
18 May 2013 4:03 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Reading on mobile? See the trailer here
In the sixth film in this profitable sex, speed and demolition franchise, Dwayne Johnson (formerly known as "the Rock") as an Interpol officer uses moral blackmail and promises of amnesties to lure a crowd of freewheeling, fast-driving international criminals from their romantic lairs in sunny climes to defeat a renegade Sas man who has accumulated top-secret military equipment to hold the world to ransom. This is an excuse for mayhem on a spectacular scale mostly in Britain and Spain as a band of petrolheads led by the appropriately named Vin Diesel use mechanical torsion to defeat malevolent extortion.
The endless chases, stunts and fights are as spectacular and preposterous as the occasional verbal exchanges are sentimental and childish. An illegal road race through the night streets of London's West End is particularly brilliantly staged. "The Rock" forces the Metropolitan Police's security to release »

Fast And Furious 7 will Take the Franchise Back to Tokyo!
18 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
I think I'm one of the few people that absolutely loved Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. That movie was a lot of fun, and it looks like the seventh film in the franchise will be headed back to Tokyo Japan!
The information comes from Vin Diesel himself who said, "We're definitely going back home, as you know from seeing Fast & Furious 6. We will have a stint in Tokyo and there is the Middle East next, that could be very interesting."
Just to clarify the Fast and Furious franchise timeline, Tokyo Drift actually takes place after the events of parts four, five, and six. Vin Diesel has a cameo at the very end of Tokyo Drift, and that cameo brought him back into the franchise. That could very well be the kickoff point for the upcoming seventh film.
It was recently confirmed that Jason Statham will be playing the villain in the film, »

Frank Martin Will be Doing More Transporting. And Again. And Again.
18 May 2013 3:39 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
I marveled in my review of 2008′s “The Transporter 3″ that underworld thugs were still hiring Jason Statham’s Frank Martin to ferry their ill-got loots for them, especially after the guy has purposefully ruined two previous transporting assignments because of his conscience. You’d think this little “conscience” thing would get around the bad guy circuit, but apparently not, because people keep on hiring ol Frank Martin to do their transporting for them, only to get royally screwed as a result. What a bunch of numbnuts. If Luc Besson has his way, Martin will be doing another transporting gig. And another one. And yet another one after that. Yup, the prolific French director/producer and his EuraCorp have signed on the dotted line with Chinese partners to co-fund and co-distribute three more “Transporter” movies in the coming years, which each movie expected to be in the $30 to $40 million dollar range. »

Three More ‘Transporter’ Films on the Way
18 May 2013 2:26 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Luc Besson’s EuropaCorp is partnering with China’s Mark Gao’s Fundamental Films to produce three more installments of the “Transporter” franchise.
The two companies, which signed a three-year output deal with Fundamental Films last July, will together produce “Transporter” 4, 5 and 6, which will be budgeted in the $30 million to $40 million range.
On top of co-producing and distributing in China, Fundamental Films will also act as an equity investor on the pics.
“Our deal with Fundamental Films allows us to have four revenue-sharing films distributed theatrically every year in China,” said EuropaCorp CEO Christophe Lambert. One of the three installments will likely lense in China, qualifying it as a French-Chinese co-production.
“We’re excited to team with Fundamental on the next three ‘Transporter’ movies, after the first three were worldwide hits,” Lambert said. He added “Transporter 3,” which Fundamental released in China, was a major commercial success.

Sylvester Stallone confirms Mickey Rourke and Jackie Chan for The Expendables 3
18 May 2013 1:38 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
We've heard plenty of rumours over the past few months about possible casting additions for The Expendables 3, and now that Sylvester Stallone has found a director in Australian filmmaker Patrick Hughes (Red Hill), it seems it's full steam ahead on casting for the third instalment in the 'geri-action' franchise.
Taking to Twitter, Stallone has announced that Mickey Rourke will reprise the role of Tool for the threequel, having sat out last year's The Expendables 2, as well as confirming the addition of martial arts icon Jackie Chan. So far, the only other actor to be confirmed for The Expendables 3 is Wesley Snipes, but the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li are all expected to return for a third outing.
At this point in time, it's unclear when The Expendables 3 will go into production, although a 2014 release date looks likely... especially »
