Variety have confirmed that Jason Statham will return for TRANSPORTER 3, the second sequel the action star has committed to recently with CRANK 2 expected to begin shooting soon.
As we reported last month, director Louis Letterier has gone on to bigger and better things with this summer’s THE INCREDIBLE HULK so EuroCorpa have hired the awesomely named Oliver Megaton (he was second unit on their HITMAN film) to direct.
French actor Francois Berleand who was Tarconi in the previous two movies has also signed up for a third, as has newcomer to the series Robert Knepper from Prison Break and HITMAN.
Combined, the two movies in the series so far have earned Luc Besson’s producing company around $75 million in profit and have helped shape Statham into one of the bigger action stars of today – who some have argued should have been the guy to lead Besson’s HITMAN franchise and could have possibly saved it from flopping last year.
Anyone a fan of THE TRANSPORTER series? Are we happy to see Statham take on sequels instead of new material?

I love Jason Statham! I’ve seen both the Transporter films. I think only maybe Vin Diesel rivals him in acting quality and muscle tone. Nothing would please me more than seeing ol’ Statham moving some shit from one place to another while blowing shit up.
I’m up for it.
i’m up for it too.
I like him very much. He’s very nice.
I have seen the film “war”, It’s very interesting.
I recomend you, all of you.
A kiss for Jason,
