Jason Statham Reaches for The Grabbers

Empire Online has an interview with Jason Statham who was just seen in Death Race and will be seen in the upcoming Transporter 3 and Crank 2: High Voltage. Statham touches on an upcoming project:

"We've got a movie we're trying to do, written by David and Janet Peoples, in the vein of an old film, 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,' Statham said. John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra (1948) starred Humphrey Bogart and Walter Huston as gold diggers who become contaminated by greed.

"It's not a remake or anything," clarified Statham, "But it's a little bit like that - about relationships and how greed contaminates the relationships these three people have. The working title is 'The Grabbers.'"


No production information is available.

    I'm not a fan of Jason Statham, as I've said. I don't think I'll be seeing this until either A, I feel up to renting it, or B, it hits cable television.

    Statham is all over the place these days, dude kickass.
    Crank 2 should be crazy cool, and transporter 3 looks good.

    I think Bazilian Job is still in its early stages Ram. Writers are still working on the screenplay and filming hasn't begun. I'm waiting for that one too.

    This sounds like it could be interesting

    Ya know what.. there should also be DEATH RACE 2. The first installment was fun to watch.

    And... what about that supposed plan for The Italian Job Sequel, weren't they going to call it THE BRAZILIAN JOB at one point?!

    IMDb still has that title as one of Statham's future projects.

    Not much info, but it's gonna be cool to see Statham again. Let's just hope that this is better than In the Name of the King, Chaos, and The Bank Job. It seems that he is starting to make GOOD movies now, because of Death Race.

    Also can't wait for Crank 2, and Transporter 3!!
