Source:  Variety
Jason Statham has officially signed on to reprise the role of mercenary driver Frank in Transporter 3. According to Variety, director Olivier Megaton will replace Louis Leterrier, who directed the first two action-packed films.

Actor Robert Knepper has also signed on to join Statham and Francois Berleand in Transporter 3. EuropaCorp's Luc Besson and Steve Chasman will produce the action film, which has become a box office sensation for EuropaCorp.

Transporter 3 is scheduled to be shot on location in Russia and France.

Makes me sad these movies are associated with Luc Besson; one of my favorite directors.

Cool...Jason Statham kicks ass! Transporter2 pretty much sucked, IMO, because they had him protecting a kid and the ridiculous (in a bad way)car stunts.

That blonde nurse/killer almost made up for it though. Damn, she was hot!

I enjoy anything with Jason Statham in and i'm really looking for the 3rd installment. I'm looking forward to seeing Robert Knepper aka T-Bag from Prison Break in it.
