Who wants (or even watched) the action thriller movie The Mechanic? Well, Lionsgate announce the (unwanted and unasked) sequel of 2011 action thriller film The Mechanic. Surely, the action thriller lovers out there will want to see this.
To have a better idea what's in store for the movie goers out there, the synopsis will be as follows:
Arthur Bishop thought he had put his murderous past behind him when his most formidable foe kidnaps the love of his life. Now he is forced to travel the globe to complete three impossible assassinations, and do what he does best, make them look like accidents.
Mechanic: Resurrection will be directed by Simon West. He is the same director of The Mechanic and is also known for his films The Expandables 2 and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
The Transporter star Jason Statham will reprise his role as Arthur Bishop.
Alongside Statham, Jessica Alba, Tommy Lee Jones, Michelle Yeoh, Sam Hazeldine and Rhatha Phongam will star alongside him.
The latest addition in the cast is The Expendables 3 actress Natalie Burn. It was just announced last February 4, 2015.
The upcoming sequel will be directed by Dennis Gansel.
A lot of people are questioning this sequel since the film was barely was successful and no one seemed to ask for it. Or so some people say. A lot of fans of Statham Films are psyched though. At least someone's happy.
There have not released any official thing about the upcoming film. No official poster, no teaser, no behind the scene photos, no trailer. Maybe later this year we will get a sneak peak of the sequel of The Mechanic.
The film has already started shooting in Bangkok, Thailand last year, November 4, 2014. Right now, they're in the pre-production stage.
A few days later, Lionsgate gate announced the official release date of the sequel. The "much anticipated action thriller" film will hit the theaters on January 22, 2016. Let's see how this film will ferry through.
