Jason Statham Goes Noir In 'Parker' Directed By Taylor Hackford, Penned By 'Black Swan' Co-Writer
Taylor Hackford already has an Oscar. No, no it's not for "Ray," it's actually for "Teenage Father," a short film he directed way, way back in 1979. And his filmography is mostly dramatic fare, stuff like "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Dolores Claiborne," "Proof Of Life" and last year's "Love Ranch....

Tom Hardy, Gerard Butler, Jason Statham, Liam Neeson & Gary Oldman Eyed For 'The Professionals'
Neil Marshall No Longer Attached To DirectDoes "The Professionals" sound familiar? It might. Last spring, the project first cropped up with Neil Marshall set to direct but since then, word on the project has been quiet.

So, didn't get a chance to see "The Mechanic" when it was in theaters a couple of months ago?

Eric Bana Out, Jason Statham Eying Thriller 'Echelon'; Simon Crane To Direct
We suppose it makes a bit of sense that Eric Bana's discarded projects will filter down to one-note actor Jason Statham, but it's still a bit of weird switch-up.

Review: ‘Mechanic’ Remake Is Exactly What You’d Expect From A Jason Statham Movie In January
"The Mechanic" is the prototypical early year action movie -- nothing more and nothing less. Star Jason Statham, who again plays an infallible, lethal bad-ass, seems to have carved his niche as the current go-to guy for B-movie action flicks. The beefy Brit once seemed like a promising heir to the ‘...

How Ben Foster Was Lured Into 'The Mechanic': Do You Want To Blow Up Stuff With Jason Statham?
When "The Mechanic" was released in 1972, starring Charles Bronson as a professional hitman named Arthur Bishop and Jan-Michael Vincent as his protégé, Steve McKenna, the world of professional killers hadn’t yet become a staple of American cinema.

Watch: Red Band Trailer For 'The Mechanic' Drops F-Bombs, Graphic Violence & A Random Boob
CBS Films is hoping to start of 2011 on solid footing after a dreadful 2010 that feature box office bombs like "Extraordinary Measures," "The Back-Up Plan" and "Faster" stinking up multiplexes.

Nicolas Cage To Try On Some Bling-Bling For 'Medallion'
Nicolas Cage's well-documented tax problems have made him the bitch of shady production company Milennium Films. The company's protocol seems to be to make cheap exploitation pictures before selling off the rights to individual territories, a touch-and-go philosophy that produces the occasional gem ("Leaves of Grass") alongside output that, dictated by the law of averages, ends up going straight to DVD. While the studio has few consistent collaborators, Cage starred in their "Wicker Man" remake and now has "Trespass" and "Drive Angry" slated for 2011. Joining that fleet is the upcoming "Medallion," making that four collaborations between Cage...

Trailer For 'Blitz,' Another Movie Where Jason Statham Beats Up A Lot Of People
You gotta hand it to Jason Statham. The guy knows he's never gonna win an Oscar, and what pays the bills: beating the living shit out of dudes on screen. So we guess we can't fault him for joining yet another faceless, brainless action flick, we just wish we could muster up the energy to care about ...
