================================
Merrick here...
I'm a big fan of this trailer for SAFE...
...the new Jason Statham film which hits April 27, written and directed by REMEMBER THE TITANS helmer Boaz Yankin.
Collider now has a the poster for the movie, a small version of which is presented here for your consideration. Stroke Statham's barrel to jump to Collider for a significantly larger version of this decidedly manly poster.
LOVE this. 'Tis memorable and dynamic, a tad retro with a modern "edge." Hopefully the movie will do this image justice.

Statham can do no wrong in my eyes.
-
That is all I have to say. But that is more than enough.
-
the perspective of the pistol is brilliant. whoever did this poster should get a medal for the illustration work. it almost look like it was painted. just good ol graphic design.
-
It's not like the kid is going to get killed. This feels like a Transporter movie (wait, I love those movies...)

Statham seems to be single-handedly keeping the B movie alive and well
by P
Hollywood used to produce mid-budget saturday night specials like this all the time, but now they all go DTV. Nothing like some good, old-fashioned, neck-choppin, shootout-in-the-factory, popcorn fun.

Yep, looks like a good Mercury Rising. I bet it's better than Expendables 2

surprisoingly....it's a common word round my way....aheem, a bit like surprisingly with a twist-ish.

...how he got to bang Kelly Brook whenever the hell he wanted. I would make a pact with Satan to be able to do that and all Statham had to do was make a bunch of terrible movies. Life = not fair.
-
Because we all forgot he's bald? <P> Someone in marketing is stoooopid.
-
yea he's good, we like him!
-
. . . a character w/ hair?
-
Its movies make the NRA look like hippies
-
The only true action star working today. (besides the geriatric resurgence of recent years)
-
you heard it here first
-
a Westernized version of The Man from Nowhere
-
HIIYA! Me karatay you face! Anybody else remember when Statham was a respected actor? Shit, do I even remember that? OK, so I like some of his movies, but he's starting to stray into direct to video territory and Seagal is going to kick his ass if he starts stealing gigs.
-
also i heard blitz was terrible
-
Major pass on this one

I thought his name was Boaz YAKin?

Always nice to see Chris Sarandon get some work.

Boaz Yakin's Fresh is a masterpiece of the highest order
by Ryan Dawson
Too bad this guy doesn't get more respect. He's done a couple of fairly forgettable Hollywood films, but his Fresh is one of the best films ever on: inner-city decay, drug dealing, chess, growing up poor, the difficulty of choosing good or evil, the permanent scars left by trauma. Fresh should have made Yakin an instant legend, but it seems it wasn't able to follow up with as strong a pic. Hope this one is good and not another mindless one-dimensional Statham outing. Check it out Fresh on Netflix streaming if you haven't seen it. One of the great movies of the last few decades IMHO.
-
Most lame, effeminate sounding, yet luckiest man alive. He f*cked Kelly Brook ffs. How'd he DO that?
-
I'm only gonna see it if it's in 3D.
-
....the film Fresh has a top notch by performance by none other than Giancarlo Esposito, laying down an equally compelling but quite different portrayal of a ruthless drug dealer than Gustavo Fring.
-
might be that huge fucking phallic symbol pointing at me.
-
www.vimeo.com/besfilms/the-delivery Mr. Anthony's character is a little over the top in a badass fun way. It even felt as if it were one of untold stories of Keyser Soze.
-
in case you didn't know.
-
I had to actually look that movie up in IMDB as I had completely allowed my brain to forget having ever watched that pile of shit. I guess this sort of somewhat resembles that 15 year old stinker though it seems odd to compare it to a flick that almost no one saw.
-
I agree, he has really cornered the market with badass B movies. You would never have guessed it when seeing him in Snatch. He's the movie star that Vinnie Jones want to be.
-
I am not... the GAY. Drive the boat... farster... Jason Statham...

So....where's Jullian Moore? Jeepers! did I see the great James Hong of Kung Fu & Blade Runner fame.

WTF anyone see's in this guys movies?,i'm English and i think he's a prick/one trick pony (if shooting a lot,being bald and pretending to be hard is a trick that is?) and playing the same "character" in every fucking "film" he's in. I bet his bank manager prefer's him to me though ha Long story short please stop with this utter rubbish!!
-
=Statham seems to be single-handedly keeping the B movie alive and well... Hollywood used to produce mid-budget saturday night specials like this all the time, but now they all go DTV.= I kinda feel the same way. I am waiting for Statham to team up with director Neil Marshall so the two can sort of become the best modern day equivalent to what we had in the early 80's with the dynamic B-movie duo of Kurt Russell and John Carpenter.

am I the only one who's really fucking sick of reading "hit the jump" on blog sites?
by TheSeeker7
Yea I realize of course it's not done here, but them talking about Collider reminded me. I roll my eyes every time I see this in an article. "Hit the jump to check out the new set photos!" (or whatever) Oh, you mean, the next paragraph that begins about a quarter of an inch below this one? It's like a lame attempt at bloggers to have their own professional sounding lingo or something, and it's so goddamn retarded.
-
That's an awesome idea! Why has nobody thought of this before? Bring Statham into the Die Hard franchise and he can carry the torch after Bruce finally retires. Hans Gruber had a younger brother, so why can't John McCLane have a younger brother too? *hint* If we can't have that Jack Bauer meets John McLane crossover that was once considered, then Statham and The Bruce together in a Die Hard story is definitely the next best thing.
-
@slone13: I caught the beginning last week on one of the 95 HBO channels we get. That's why I thought of it. It really is a crappy flick, but the code from this film looks the same as the code from MR.
-
...first, keep in mind that you have already won by making me type lookylookymoontard...twice. Second, action film stars are a peculiar species of actor. They must have an immediately recognizable and at least somewhat likable persona. They can't deviate too far from that persona, though they are sometimes (depending on the action star in question) allowed to parody it. Familiarity is an absolutely essential element of their appeal. May I present Jason Statham?
-
Come on Hollywood: Give these guys 30 million and they would deliver.
-
Old, sarcastic and grizzled bad ass paired with a precocious lolicon type girl who breaks down his gruff exterior.
-
with Neil Marshall returning to direct. It could easily be done for 30 million. Hell, I doubt that they'd even need that much. 15-20 million would probably be enough.
-
As US Agent. For other comic fans, remember when the U.S. government stripped captain America of his costume,title and shield? Statham would make a great stand in for cap. Then later in the film, turn him into US Agent. It's long overdue for Statham to play a superhero!
-
This film looks great! Action flicks like this do great business in asia - so the asian girl and triad influence may be to help in that market. As for Statham as John Mclane's younger brother to take over DIE HARD... YES! What a brilliant idea! Bruce sitting at a dive bar sipping gin. Two punks try to pick a fight with him. Before they throw a punch, bald Statham suddenly appears - headbutts one and grabs the other by the balls. *Who are you...?!* squeaks the punk *He's my brother. He's been away in London a long time.* drawls Bruce *A'wight Bruv. The guvnor's back in town.* Statham. THIS SHIT PRACTICALLY WRITES ITSELF!

Jason Statham has a gun and an Asian girl..... See him rip his shirt off and drive somewhere... IN 3-fucking-D!!! Be Safe this summer.
