KNOWN for his adrenaline-fuelled (and in some cases electrically charged) performances in such films as Transporter, Crank, Death Race, The Mechanic and The Expendables, action-man Jason Stathan leaps into his next role in the upcoming crime thriller Safe.
A new trailer for the film has been sent to us and is embedded below, as well as being in the video channel on the right of the page.
Statham stars as ex-Government agent Luke Wright who, over the course of one harrowing night, tears a swathe through New York City's corrupt underworld in order to save a young girl's life and redeem his own.
Lionsgate promises it's "packed with spectacular action sequences and bone-crunching fights", and seeing as it stars Statham, we're inclined to believe that description.
Producers include Lawrence Bender, who was previously involved with Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds.
It's written and directed by Boaz Yakin, whose previous work includes the 2008 war drama Death in Love. Yakin was a producer on Hostel and Hostel: Part II, a screenwriter on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and is a writer and producer on upcoming magician heist thriller Now You See Me.
Interestingly, Boaz was once in line to direct a Batman Beyond film that never went ahead. It evolved into Batman: Year One and was then set to be directed by Darren Aronofsky, before that in turn was abandoned. Christopher Nolan came on board and the concept became Batman Begins, the first film in his Dark Knight saga.
Safe explodes into UK cinemas on May 4.
