New Jaon Statham film

Thanks to IamRogue.com for letting me know that Jason Statham has a new Transporter film coming out soon...OH WAIT, IT'S NOT A TRANSPORTER FILM?!

No, sorry to get any Transporter fans hopes up, but the new Jason Statham film is called 'Killer Elite' and although by the trailer it looks like a new transporter film but sadly it's not but it is based on a true story. Here is the trailer if you don't believe that it looks, smells and sounds like a new transporter film but with the added Robert De Niro part to the film:

This film is based originally on the novel 'The Feather Men' by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, at the time this book came out Ranulph claimed that the events that took place were real and that they were about members of the SAS being assasinated by a hit squad called 'The Clinic'. The 'Feather Men' are actually a group of vigilanties that took on 'The Clinic' to protect these members of their regiment.

But back to the film, the story has Jason as an ex special ops agent who is 'lured' out of retirement to save his mentor, but to do this he needs to kill three assasins that are lead by Clive Owen (he's the one in the trailer with a fake looking moustache).

The studios who have backed this financially are:

• Palomar Picture
• Ambience Entertainment
• Omnilab Media

Along with Stathan and Owen these other actors and actresses will star:

• Yvonne Strahovski she will play Anne- you'll have probably not seen her before but she has been in Chuck as the girl who Chuck's sister thinks is dating him
• Dominic Purcell will play Davies- you'll probably not recognise who this actor is from the name but you will have no doubt seen him in Prison Break and for all fans of  the Blade films like me you'll have seen him in the last Blade film as Drake.
• Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will play The Agent, Bourne fans will no doubtedly recognise him as Wambosie from the first Bourne film
• Grant Bowler he will play Captain James Cregg, you will have seen him most recently in Ugly Betty as Connor the guy who stole all of Mode's money.
• Matthew Nable who will play Pennock-he was in a film called S.I.S: Special Investigation Secion
• Jamie McDowell will play Diane
• Chris Anderson will play Finn

The film will be distributed by Open Road Fims and the writer/director of the film will be Gary McKendry, he also wrote the film with Matt Sherring, but the film will be produced by Steve Chasman and Sigurjon Sighvatsson and this will come out on September 23rd 2011.

Got to love Wikipedia for all the information that they give you...so before I forget thanks to them as well as the Rogue Network for informing me about this upcoming film.
