Details On The Mechanic 2 (2015)

It looks like Jason Statham has aspirations to turn “The Mechanic” into a franchise as he is set to film a sequel, The Mechanic 2, next month.  The IMDb page for the movie was recently updated with plot details and a production start date of October 1, 2014.

SYNOPSIS: Arthur Bishop thought he had put his murderous past behind him when his most formidable foe kidnaps the love of his life. Now he is forced to travel the globe to complete three impossible assassinations, and do what he does best, make them look like accidents.

Filming location includes many exotic places such as Thailand, Brazil, and Bulgaria. Director DENNIS GANSEL (The Fourth State) will be taking over for SIMON WEST.  I hate to be a cynic here but I’m guessing the bulk of the movie will be shot in Bulgaria.  The first was a decent movie but I would really recommend the original first, with Charles Bronson and Jan Michael Vincent.
