This post by The Best Article Every Day.com mentions Jason three times.  Well… they are talking about upcoming movie sequels, but he’s in really good company.  I don’t care what anybody says, I think sequels can be just as good as the original with the right script and actors…especially if it stars Jason Statham!

  • The Brazilian Job: the follow up to Paramount’s US remake of The Italian Job is still on the cards, and it’s got a 2009 release date marked. Jason Statham, Mos Def, Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron are attached, as is director F Gary Gray.
  • Crank 2: High Voltage: This is more like it. Crank is a guilty pleasure right up there with Snakes on a Plane, and it’s coming back for more. Shooting starts next month, for a 2009 release, and Jason Statham returns as Chev Chelios. As he should.
  • Transporter 3: Statham again. He’s making this too, and it’s in pre-production. Presumably, he’ll go from Crank 2 straight onto this.
