It will suck seeing someone else try to replicate the part. While Statham has gone on to bigger projects, THE TRANSPORTER remains his movie. The third film just felt redundant, so I am not very excited for three more, especially without Jason Statham. I enjoyed the first two movies in the series for what they were. Depending on how well the fourth film fares, the fifth and sixth films will be fully co-produced in China. Going back and showing how Martin got to his line of work, THE TRANSPORTER 4 will be produced with Shanghai-based Fundamental Films. His character of Frank Martin will still be the focus of the films but the new movies will be prequels. The catch is, THE TRANSPORTER 4 through 6 will not star Jason Statham. But, Besson and EuropaCorp have plans for not just one but three new films in the series. Writer/producer Luc Besson would go on to make three films in THE TRANSPORTER series which also became a small screen show a few years back (season 2 hits TNT this fall). THE TRANSPORTER franchise began back in 2002 after Statham had appeared in Guy Ritchie‘s LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS and SNATCH, giving the gravel-voiced brit an action franchise all his own. It looks like the role that made Jason Statham a star in North America is going to be getting the reboot treatment.
