The Transporter 3 (2009)
Interview mit Statham:
Quelle: iesb.netSo coming up next is Crank 2 and Transporter 3?
Statham: Yeah, two franchises. Fucking hell. It’s crazy because over the past few months, I’ve had a ton of offers. You want to do something you want to do and you want to do something that people want you to do. You don’t want to just do a movie to be different. It’s like, does this work for me? Right? It’s a character I’ve played and the script’s okay but where do you score in that film? So you just have to put everything on the scale. Right at the time, Transporter 3 and Crank 2 made the most sense because they’re the characters people like. But people like to pigeonhole you into the corner of that’s all you can do but they’re going to do that anyway. If you do something that is away from appealing to the public they go, "Why didn’t he just do Transporter 3? Everyone wanted to see that!". You can’t fucking please everyone so you just have to please yourself. If everyone enjoys it, then great. You can never please everyone.

He will reteam with co-star Francois Berleand, while Robert Knepper ("Prison Break") has joined the cast.
However, Louis Leterrier, who helmed the first two pics, has been replaced by Olivier Megaton ("Exit," "The Red Siren"), who was second-unit director on EuropaCorp's "Hitman."
Pic, which will be produced by EuropaCorp principal Luc Besson and Steve Chasman, will shoot for 16 weeks in Russia and France.
The first two films in the series, which kicked off in 2002, were written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen.
With worldwide box office returns of more than $130 million for the franchise, "Transporter 3" continues EuropaCorp's move into films with broader international potential.
Quelle: comingsoon.netLionsgate announced today that it has acquired U.S. and Canadian distribution rights to Transporter 3. Jason Statham returns as iconic action hero Frank Martin in the third installment of the EuropaCorp-produced series. The announcement was made today by Lionsgate's Jason Constantine, head of Acquisitions and Co-Productions, and Tom Ortenberg, President, Theatrical Films.
Olivier Megaton directs from a script written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The movie is produced by EuropaCorp, TF1 Films Productions, Grive Productions and Apipoulai Production, in association with Current Entertainment. Besson produces for EuropaCorp. Lionsgate will release the film at Thanksgiving, on November 26, 2008. The film will be distributed in Canada by Maple Pictures.
Constantine expressed the studio's excitement about the project, stating, "We are thrilled to be in business with EuropaCorp and to also partner again with Jason Statham, who from 'War' to 'Crank' and its upcoming sequel, is a well known and well-loved leading man in so many of Lionsgate's high octane action films. We are delighted to add another film in the exciting 'Transporter' action franchise to stand alongside such other iconic Lionsgate franchises as 'Saw,' Tyler Perry and 'The Punisher.'"
Besson said, "We are thrilled to be sharing this experience with Lionsgate, and happy to get along with a great marketing and distribution team." EuropaCorp COO Pierre-Ange Le Pogam concurred, "Lionsgate is a dynamic group, who we know will more than do justice to our dearest 'Transporter' opus 3. Everyone here is working hard to get ready to provoke and inflame the market for Thanksgiving."
The film, starring Robert Knepper ("Prison Break") alongside Statham and returning cast member Francois Berleand (Place Vendome), wrapped principal photography in early May and is currently in post-production.
