Deadline

Ahead of the Cannes market, Lionsgate has taken North American rights off the table on one of the bigger-budget new packages that'll be on sale next week: that's action-thriller Mutiny, which will star action evergreen Jason Statham (Fast & Furious) and be directed by Jean-François Richet (Plane).


Lionsgate, which we understand stumped up eight figures for NA rights, says it has committed to a wide theatrical release on the project which is based on a script by Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis (Plane). Principal photography is due to begin this September in the UK.

In Mutiny, after his billionaire industrialist boss is murdered in front of him, Cole Reed is set up to take the fall for the crime— leaving him on the run as he works to uncover an international conspiracy.

With the Plane people following up with a movie called Mutiny, I was hoping they were building a Planes, Trains and Boats trilogy.

Sounds like a Jason Stathan movie, count me in.

I thought he was a humble Beekeeper.
