We have confirmed that Jason Statham (THE TRANSPORTER, CRANK) has agreed to play Brant, a rather crude, un-pc, borderline sociopath of a cop, in the film version of Ken Bruen's novel BLITZ. Paddy Considine (THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, HOT FUZZ) will be playing Sergeant Porter Nash, an openly gay cop that works with the homophobic Brant.
PLOT schrieb:"The South East London police squad are down and out: Detective Sergeant Brant is in hot water for assaulting a police shrink, Chief Inspector Roberts' wife has died in a horrific car accident, and WPC Falls is still figuring out how to navigate her job as a black female investigator in the notorious unit. When a serial killer takes his show on the road, things get worse for all three. Nicknamed "The Blitz" by the rabid London media, the killer is aiming for tabloid immortality by killing cops in different beats around the city."
HIER kann man auf der Website von Autor Ken Bruen einen Auszug des Buches lesen.
Klingt doch danach, als ob Statham seine Actionqualitäten und den Coolnessfaktor wieder in allen Maßen ausspielen könnte.
