Lionsgate has scheduled Safe starring Jason Statham for release on October 28 where it faces Now and The Rum Diary in wide release.  Statham plays a former elite agent who fights to rescue a 12-year-old girl.” Catherine Chan plays the girl; Chris Sarandon, Robert John Burke, Reggie Lee, and Danny Hoch also star.  Boaz Yakin (Death in Love) directed from his own screenplay.  According to Variety, this is the first of a three-picture distribution between Lionsgate and IM Global — the other two are Dredd and Protection, both dateless.

Statham will next be seen in Blitz, which debuts overseas later this week — no North American release date is currently scheduled.  Statham is also tapped to play a former Navy Seal The Killer Elite, and an ex-SAS agent in both Echelon and The Expendables 2.

  1. Insufferable, noisy, mindless crap. Why oh why do I watch this rubbish? No doubt it’ll be popular. It’s hard to tell if Statham can act because you don’t need to in these trashy action thingies. Just scowl, say something sarcastic and cliched, shoot, say something sarcastic cliched again and move on to the next scene and do the same thing. I recommend you see all of these idiotic movies because it will eventually drive you nuts, and more stupid, and I’ll be left to take over the world. Don’t give this bloke your hard earned dollars. Or Pitt or Cage or all the rest of those deep fried muscle heads. They all owe me heaps for their presumptuous rhubarb. Statham! Where’s my money?
