Alison Flierl (\u201cBoJack Horseman,\u201d \u201cSchool of Rock\u201d) penned the script.<\/p>\n<p>A number of major action set pieces are planned for the project which is being conceived as a PG-13 project with a budget of over $80 million.<\/p>\n<p>Black Bear has committed to a wide domestic release and is handling international sales. Interest is said to be quite high with Amazon circling rights in multiple territories.<\/p>\n<p>Husband and wife duo Leitch and wife Kelly McCormick are producing through their 87 North banner. Statham, John Friedberg, Meredith Berg and Ethan Erwin also produce.<\/p>\n<p>Statham is currently filming Guy Ritchie\u2019s \u201cViva La Madness\u201d in London and recently completed \u201cThe Beekeeper\u201d sequel due out next year.  His most recent film on screen was \u201cShelter\u201d with \u201cMutiny\u201d on the way later in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2026\/02\/jason-statham-david-letich-big-budget-comedy-stole-my-bike-1236719048\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/limans-killing-satoshi-reveals-ai-usage\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liman\u2019s \u201cKilling Satoshi\u201d Reveals AI Usage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/dead-by-daylight-film-sets-new-writers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cDead by Daylight\u201d Film Sets New Writers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon MGM Studios In what should prove a bit of a stretch for his talents, Jason Statham has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424964,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[94966,6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-424963","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
