Jason Statham Starring in Into Hell

Bold Films is heading Into Hell. Dominic Morgan and Matthew Harvey have been hired to write the action thriller.

Into Hell revolves around a group of English soccer hooligans who travel to Istanbul for a match. The gang soon finds themselves in over their heads, however, when they get framed for a political assassination.

Producer Ian Carrington, who is producing with Bold's Miche Litvak and David Lancaster, helped develop the project with longtime friend and action star Jason Statham in mind. Once the script draft is complete, he plans to submit it to Statham, a star player on the United Hollywood soccer team he manages.

Statham is in production on Transporter 3.

    Will be watching this film. Never been to Istanbul to watch a footie match and never will. Heard a lot of bad sh*t from fans watching a football match there. Brutal brutal fans. The fans include the police too. You don't need 9foot tall aliens to make a film scary.

    "a bit fake" is putting it litely.. transporter 2 was downright atrocious. i mean while they were shooting this movie in the land of oz they should have at least stopped to visit the wizard.

    war was ok but i agree with Florida, 2 was just soo unbelievable it made it lousy. like the bomb under the car when he flipped it and took it off...wow...if you watched the 1st one and then the 2nd right after you would think he went from being a transporter to speed racer driving the M5. the 1st for the most part was believabe. and of course dungeon seige was bad. it was UWE F*CKIN BOLL!

    Transporter though was a classic. Very well made and good plot. Plus, had better effects.

    sirmetro,i know all movies are fake and they are computer animated and CGI and whatnot, but Transporter 2 just looked really fake. I dont mean to disrespect, but the movie wasnt good. Any how im not sure about Jason Statham cuz "transporter 2" was weak and i heard "War" really sucked.

    Transporter 1 was amazing, Transporter 2 had some good stunts but was otherwise pretty stupid. I have faith that Transporter 3 will bring the series back to its roots and kick some major ass. Jason Statham is one of the best action stars out there, he just needs to stop taking crappy roles: Dungeon Siege anyone? ugh.

    He did nearly all of his own stunts in "The Transporter" including car chase sequences, scuba diving sequences, and fight sequences!!

    transporter2 wasn't that good,but 3 is gonna kick ass.Florida rep...a true movie folower could never had question the credibility of some scenes in a movie coz the answer is obvious,its all about cam angles and CGI.Do you think in Lord Of The Ring there were actually thousands of ugly-ass motherf*ckers in the war in the last two films of the trilogy?(just to show yu anything is possible in hollywood)and for your own info Strtham is a pro driver.

    i take it this based on a true story to some extent. 3 years ago a soccer team from england (liverpool) played a european cup final in instanbul and some of the fans that taveled there to see it got stabbed or killed and a couple ended up in jail. think are 2 still locked up over there!

    transporter 2 wasnt that good. but again MR FLORIDA youre sadly mistaken with your middle school intelligence claiming crank was far from good. statham kicks alotta ass. the only bad movies were transporter 2 and dungeon siege(f*cking uwe boll)
    and he pulled it off because it was in the script

    Jason Statham..I'm there!! I love Jason Statham, he is a damn good actor!! Loved his last film "The Bank Job"!!!

    Jason Statham is an overated piece of crap. I liked Transporter, it was really good, but Crank was far from good and Transporter 2 was just plain cheap. How the hell could he have pulled off all that sh*t that he did. Im sorry, but cant pull off all the things he did.
