Busy Bad Ass

Tough guy Jason Statham knows what film genre pays his bills and makes no excuses....

He will play a sociopath, destructive cop named Brant in the upcoming film adaptation of author Ken Bruen's novel " Blitz" reports Crimespree Cinema.

Set in South East London, the book follows three different police officers who must deal with their own issues while hunting down a serial killer targeting cops all over the city in a quest for tabloid immortality.

Paddy Considine will play Sergeant Porter Nash, an openly gay cop that works with the homophobic Brant.

Adapted by Moon writer Nathan Parker-from which Elliott Lester is directing.



Back in May Statham also signed on to star in a $40 million action thriller remake of "The Killer Elite" as reported by Variety.
