A couple of comments on IMDB have said that ‘Blitz’ could be Jason’s greatest movie yet. I know he has to play a sociopathic badass which he will probably do very well. There will be smoking, there will be swearing, there will be lots of violence and there will be the stubble…all the things we expect from a great Jason thriller. But I’m looking forward to seeing him flex his acting muscles as his character, Tom Brant. The Academy has recognized thriller/horror movies in the past–Silence of the Lambs, No Country for Old Men for Best Picture–so it’s conceivable that ‘Blitz’ could possibly make it that far. Let’s hope the movie script is pretty close to the best-selling book.

So Jason is going to start smoking again?

Still see Jason in his natural typecasting as the defender of the defenseless and the avenger. It is hard to see him as a sociopath and I did not think he played it to the hilt in Chaos. He is going to have to turn up the intensity for it to work.

I agree with Alexa. I don’t think this is a departure from the typical Jason Statham film. He’s playing a tough guy cop who happens to be rogue (see Chaos, see The One, and arguably even The Transporter series). He’ll just be even more dark, brooding, and violent.
The plot itself sounds much more intense, like a solid crime drama. I think that alone could make it one of his best films–as long as, like Alexa said, he can match his own intensity with that of the film.

I wrote my post today after reading this little excerpt from ‘Blitz’. Brant sounds exactly suited for Jason.

I love the book “Blitz”. Jason should eat up this role and when he’s digested it he’ll sh!t out an award. People are going to love this character and hopefully they’ll make the rest of the books into other movies with Jason.
Thanks for posting the link jayfan.

It will be interesting to see what the writers do with the script and how Jason will play it. I wonder if the actors actually read a book that is being made into a movie? I have read Blitz, Vixen, and Ammunition, all good.

I could picture the scece from that site you posted Jayfan in my mind as I was reading it. Jason will be awesome as always. I don’t think there is anything he can’t do. He has the determination I wish I had. I can’t wait to see the movie!

I haven’t had any time to read any of the books that Bruen had wrote. I don’t put too much into can Jason pull it off or not…..everyone of his shows he is spectacular. I cannot imagine him not pulling off, the sociopath…homophobic…Brant!I can’t wait till he does a romantic roll which would be different…and so desired….please, please Jason…think of romance!

I have read tweets on twitter, after searching Jason Statham, that he is in Las Vegas and celebrate his birthday party…so I hope that there will be some pics tomorrow or few days later.
August 15, 2009 at 11:32 pm
@Marie….Where did you find the information that Jason is celebrating his birthday?
August 15, 2009 at 11:36 pm
I know you said tweets and twitters, but where?
August 15, 2009 at 11:38 pm
You go on the site http://www.twitter.com and than you can make a searching without registration…there you fill Jason Statham and than you start the searching and than you can read tweets from people who have make use of the “word” Jason Statham. And there some people who haven written these…so I do not know whether that is true or false.
And I have another “stupid” question. I want to check out on http://www.brunopress.nl new Jason pics…but it does not work…I make a Jason Statham searching but there are NO Jason pics…could someone help me, please?!
Greetings from San Francisco… 🙂
