High octane TRANSPORTER 3 trailer
Sounding an awful lot like a Transformers robot, director Oliver Megaton has taken over the helm on the Transporter series as vacated by Louis Letterier who got the promotion to direct Marvel's The Incredible Hulk which opens in two days time.

Megaton was ironically the second unit helmer of the Hitman adaptation, a movie that was long rumored to be a starring vehicle for Jason Statham. New International teaser for the film is below... See it in HD HERE.

The movie, especially with the added gimmick of the blow up wrist band device makes it feel more like Statham's Crank than the Transporter series. The trailer is very clunky but it's early days yet and it's not like this series was ever sold on it's amazing grasp of storytelling. Lots of stunt work - unsurprisingly and whilst I was watching this trailer I came to the conclusion that Statham is a lot like an 80's Jackie Chan. Year in, year out he is put in these high octane action vehicles with lots of stunt work and he has become so big right now that he is basically just playing himself on screen. Transporter 3 will hit theaters on November 26th 2008, with Prison Break star Robert Knepper (as seen at the end of the trailer) the new villain.
