After spending most of his movie career fame in, how should I put it nicely, movies that were not that good, Jason Statham is hitting the real acting roles. He has been confirmed to star in the film version of Ken Bruen's novel BLITZ. Jason will play Brant, a crude, possibly sociopathic, beefcake of a cop.
Ken Bruen himself seems happy with the casting choice as well, saying, "I think Jason Statham will really step up to the plate for Brant, he's been looking for a part to make his own and I think this is it."
The film starts shooting on August 10th, with a screenplay by Nathan Parker and director Elliott Lester.
You know, I'm actually kinda excited for this. Jason Statham always seems like he knows what he's doing on screen, but has never been given the opportunity to fulfill his potential. Hopefully this one is it!
