(Ed Skein)
That is right folks...Transporter is getting a reboot, complete with a re-casting for the lead role of Frank Martin with the current Game of Thrones star Ed Skrein. The people at EuropaCorp's gave the reasoning as follows; "We searched everywhere to find a fresh face who had the potential to become an action movie star and we've found the right match with Ed Skein, who's not oly a great actor but also has enough charisma and physical stamina to play Frnak Martin." Brett Ratner, Bill Collage and Adam Cooper are penning the script, although no plot details have been released yet. All we know is that it will take place in the French Riviera where the original first took place. And that they plan to add more depth to the character this go around, poking around with a father relationship ect. The director set to helm this reboot is Brick Mansion's Camile Delmarre. The budget as of right now is in the $30 million range which I suppose is a fair amount to start with to see how it goes. I am personally very partial to the Jason Statham Transporter films, I LOVE them actually. So I will give this reboot a chance...but I am not expecting much sadly.
