Will Frank Martin be transporting again?

More action related news out of Cannes today (the most action fuelled Cannes ever perhaps?) when it was revealed that Luc Besson's EuropaCorp and  China's Fundamental Films (run by Mark Gao) are planning to produce not just 1 more Transporter film but 3 more!
The films will be budgeted around the $30-40million mark with at least one of them being filmed in China.
No word from The Stath yet about his possible involvement but let's hope he's not tired of driving after his jump into the Fast and Furious franchise because we don't want anyone else in the role.

This series was the closest a British action star has got to having a James Bond-y type role outside of the Bond franchise and Statham IS Frank Martin, if you don't believe me that it has to be Statham then try and fins The Transporter TV Series they made recently and when you find it, actually try and watch it...
It HAS to be Stath!

For Fast and Furious Statham, the Seventh time's the charm.

Even before series regular Michelle Rodriguez confirmed the news at the London premiere of Fast 6 on May 7th, it was assumed that the one and only Statham would be joining Fast and Furious 7 and is rumoured to have a cameo near the conclusion of part 6.
With his 3 starring roles and the Fast films, that's 5 confirmed Statham sightings in the next 2 years. This is GREAT news. The world needs more Statham and The Fast & Furious franchise needs one more bald, bullet headed hardman to add to its ranks.
They should really get Paul Walker to shave his head!
Fast & Furious 6 hits theatres May 24th and the renamed Hummingbird now Redemption gets limited theatrical release in the US starting June 28th.
