[TV] Viva La Madness

[SFI]

Gaumont International Television (Hannibal, Hemlock Grove) is developing Viva La Madness, an hour-long TV series based on the J.J. Connolly novel of the same name. The Transporter, Spy and Furious 7 star Jason Statham is attached to star.

The next installment to Connolly’s novel Layer Cake, Viva La Madness follows an anonymous hero who is stranded in the Caribbean itching for the criminal life he left behind, but he’s still a wanted man back home. Soon he joins forces with two robust London gangsters: the menacing Sonny King and his paranoid partner Roy “Twitchy” Burns.

Jason Statham owns the rights to the property alongside Steven Chasman and as such the two will serve as executive producers on the series, which does not yet have a network attached. J.J. Connolly is writing the scripts and will also executive produce.
