Jason Statham Does The Blitz

Big surprise, Jason Statham is doing another crime movie. Crime Spree Cinema claims Statham has agreed to join the cast of Blitz, an upcoming Lionsgate film.

For a change Jason won’t be one of the crooks, he’ll just be a crooked cop. If the rumor is true, then he plays Detective Sergeant Brant, a policeman with control issues, illustrated by an assault on his shrink. He’s on the trail of a serial killer named “The Blitz”, who targets cops. Statham’s character is described as “crude, un-pc, borderline sociopath” which sounds absolutely perfect for the Ex-Transporter. Paddy Considine is also supposed to be in the cast as a fellow police sergeant named Porter Nash.

We’re checking for confirmation on CSC’s casting scoop, we’ll update this page with that as soon as we get it.
