Suicide Squad director e Jason Statham together for an action movie titled the beekeeper: this is the couple that Miramax he was training for one of his new projects. David Ayer he will direct The Beekeper, while Jason Statham will star. It seems that from this movie the goal is to create a franchise.
The story, despite the title, is not strictly related to beekeeping, as the main character is driven by a revenge target that will lead him to put national interests on the line. And that’s because the character turns out to have been a member of a very powerful organization known as the Beekeepers.
The script for the project was written by Kurt Wimmer (Salt) and sold to Miramax last year. Statham and Wimmer will co-produce with Miramax’ Bill Block and Cedar Park Studios’ Chris Long.
Block himself stated:
Teaming up with Jason Statham for Wrath Of Man and Operation Fortune, and David Ayer for Fury, allows us to enter into this partnership with action movie masters, supported by Kurt Wimmer’s brilliant script, kicking off the franchise.
