A new trailer for the upcoming reboot of the Transporter franchise, The Transporter Refueled, has been released. I’m not sure if Jason Statham said “No” to another film (that seems unlikely) or if Europacorp was merely interested in saving a little money on their leading man, but this time around it’s Ed Skrein (Daario Naharis on “Game of Thrones”) in the leading role and Brick Mansions helmer, Camille Delamarre, directing.
They haven’t changed the name of the lead character as Skrein will be playing Frank Martin, hired by Anna (Loan Chabanol) and her three sidekicks, only to realize he’s been played. Anna and her cohorts have kidnapped Frank’s father (Ray Stevenson) in order to coerce Frank into helping them take down a ruthless group of Russian human traffickers. Additional members of the cast include Lenn Kudrjawizki, Radivoje Bukvic, Gabriella Wright and Anatole Taubman
The Transporter Refueled will release in theaters on Sept. 4 check out the trailer and new poster below.
