Transporter 3 Trailer, Poster & Images

Vic Holtreman — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:28:13 +0000

The first Transporter film was responsible for putting now pretty well known action star Jason Statham on the map. The guy has amazing martial arts skills, a great face for the genre and is a moderately decent actor.

I thought the first Transporter movie starring Jason Statham was silly, but a huge blast to watch. I found the sequel to be even more silly (ok, ridiculous) and less fun – so I’m hoping that Transporter 3 will reverse that trend.

We haven’t covered the film much here at Screen Rant so here’s a bit of a “catch up” post with the final (UK) poster for the film, some new images plus the latest trailer.

I don’t know anything about French director Olivier Megaton (can that be his real name?) but the screenplay was written by Luc Besson and ...

Hey gang… man, one of the downsides of being a computer geek is getting sucked into the back-end stuff when redesigning a website. I’ve been so busy trying to fine tune thing (thanks for the suggestions!) and trying to fix bugs that I haven’t been doing any movie news coverage.

So here’s my little attempt at a bit of catch up on what’s popped up over the last few days.

- There’s a new muppet movie coming and supposedly it will be faithful to what we’ve come to know and love about the little fellas. – Ain’t It Cool

- Transformers 2 has a title: Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. I can’t wait (yeah, that was sarcasm). – Superhero Hype

- Transporter 3 is on the way starring Jason Statham once again and there’s a French trailer out for it. I think he’s an awesome action star and he’s back ...

Transporter 3 Snags Another French Director

Vic Holtreman — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:44:55 +0000

What is it with the Transporter movies and French directors?

Kidding, or course. The films have been shot in Europe so it makes sense. It’s just that the first two were directed by a Frenchman and now the new film will be directed by a different Frenchman (is that even a word?).

The first two Jason Statham starring flicks were directed by Louis Leterrier, who is in now in post-production on The Incredible Hulk, and now Transporter 3 will replace him with French director Olivier Megaton.

Who the heck is that, you ask?

The reason you’ve never heard of him is that up until now all he’s written and directed are French movies and television shows. Oh, and he was second unit director on a little gem called Hitman.

At least Megaton (what ...
