The Transporter Refueled news update!

I've been meaning to put up more news of this new film sooner but things just keep getting in the way.

Anyway its here now so I hope you are as excited as I am to here there will be another "The Transporter Refuelled" film as well as another Mechanic film coming out, but if you already know or don't Jason Statham will be starring in "The Mechanic:Resurrection" but won't be starring in the new "The Transporter Refuelled".

"The Transporter Refuelled" will instead star Ed Skrein (who you may or may not recognise from "Game Of Thrones") as Frank Martin who if you haven't seen this series of films before will deliver anything to anywhere no questions asked, and he has rules no names, no details and never look in the package, all he needs is payment on delivery.

According Deadline Hollywood the story for this film which is set to be a rebooted prequel of the franchise which starred Jason Statham and was directed by Luc Besson, and will be the first in a new trilogy of new "Transporter" films is Frank Martin crosses paths with Anna who will be played by Loan Chabanol who is the leader of a group of deadly assailants that decides Frank is the right person to take down a group of ruthless Russian human traffickers, and to make sure Frank cooperates she takes his father hostage who will be played by Ray Stevenson and both Frank and his father are forced to team up with Anna in order to deliver justice.

Sounds to me like the story from the first "Transporter" film but with the added bit of Frank's father being kidnaped and held hostage.

And according to M.A.A.C Martial Arts Action Cinema website this will like the first "Transporter" film also take place in the criminal underworld of France...so I expect to see some nice scenery like in the first one which showed some nice shots of Nice/South Of France.

Here is a first look at the new look Frank Martin:

On the 11/5/2014 The Hollywood Reporter reported that the USA release date for this movie had been pushed back though to June 19th 2015 and the original UK release date was March 6th, but now according to IMDb.com the new UK release date for this is 19th June 2015.
