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.

A failure is just about every facet of cinema, Jason Statham’s newest picture can’t hold a candle to even some of his lesser efforts like Transporter 3 or War. In those films, it at least felt as if the filmmakers were trying. Parker is a train wreck of the worst kind, as everyone seems to phoning it in. The first culprit in this cinematic murder is director Taylor Hackford. [ Read More ]
