Info On Statham’s New Action Movie

Jason Statham is reportedly set to star in The Killer’s Game, an action thriller that D.J. Caruso is set to helm.

Based on a Jay Bonansinga novel, the script centers on a veteran assassin who is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and takes a hit out on himself to avoid the pain that is destined to follow. After ordering the kill, he finds out that he was misdiagnosed and must then fend off the army of former colleagues trying to kill him.

The film comes from one of the industry’s unproduced scripts that has been laying around.  STX Films is in discussions to finance and distribute the film.  This sounds like it’s right up Statham’s alley.  I hope it’s as outrageous and as manly as The Mechanic 2.
