Jason Statham is Back as Frank Martin!
www.comingsoon.net - 24th Nov 2008
Jason Statham: Frank Martin is back! The ex-Special Forces operative is used to risky assignments, but in Transporter 3, the special package he's assigned to deliver has an unexpected personal interest which makes the job that much more dangerous and shows a side to Martin we haven't seen before--vulnerability.
Jason Statham is back for the third time reprising his character and ComingSoon.net caught up with the star in Beverly Hills:
Q: How did you refine your character for the third film?
Jason Statham: I think on the third one we found his weakness. It all lies within this lovely female here (referring to Natalya Rudakova, who plays his love interest.) It's about the creative aspects of how are we going to make this one a little more interesting? How do you make Frank Martin more vulnerable? At the same time you always have to try to exceed what you did in the previous two which is so difficult these days because there's so much to live up to with what
Luc [Besson] created with the character. There's always challenges and hopefully we've made this one interesting enough.
Q: Were there more physical challenges in this one?
Statham: We actually learned a lot [about] what you have to get ready for physically. The fight sequences always pose a certain challenge. If you're not physically sort of ready, if you don't hit the gym and you're not stretched out, you're going to get injured very quickly. You learn that from making the first one that you have to be very effi

Harsh 'Variety' Editors Take Official Stand on Natalie Portman's Acting Skills [Regret The Error]
All she wanted to do was direct, and now look: The gang at Variety all but scoffed today at Natalie Portman's forthcoming feature helming debut, scare-quoting an implicit vote of no confidence in the job she has now. But she'll show the "trade paper" yet, with her short-film bow on the the way in the omnibus New York, I Love You and more outstanding performances to come in 2009. Seriously — this is an Oscar nominee! Have they not seen Closer? Or that film she did years ago with Luc Besson? Oh. Wait. [

John Travolta Loses His Hair for 'Paris'
When he donned a wig and a dress, John Travolta made our Lame in 2007 list for his work in Hairspray. But now he's taking a decidedly different look for his work -- baldness!
Above is a peek at Travolta, from ExtraTV, on the set of his new movie -- From Paris with Love, which is shooting in (surprise, surprise) France.

Bayona is a Hater
We broke the story that Guillermo del Toro would be bringing the novel HATER to the screen back in May, and today we have a director on board. That dude is Juan Antonio Bayona (THE ORPHANAGE) and the book revolves around a worldwide epidemic of violence perpetrated by otherwise ordinary people.
On a somewhat related note: I have this daydream where one day on the backlot of some studio Spielberg is chilling with Shia LaBeouf and Harrison Ford, and then Judd Apatow rolls up with his boys to kick their ass
First Look: Bald Travolta FROM PARIS
After a long hard stressful day, it’s cool to see something like this show up online to crack me up, John Travolta was a woman (Hairspray) and now he’s just plain bald in his upcoming movie FROM PARIS WITH LOVE and now, it’s not a remake nor a sequel to that old James Bond movie. This is a first look image via comingsoon.net.

Logic, Sense and Physics Take a Back Seat in the 'Transporter 3' Trailer
How do you follow films like The Transporter and Transporter 2? Um, you hire non-stop bad-ass Jason Statham to star in Transporter 3? (Yep.) The third entry in the hyper-kinetic action series comes from Lionsgate (whereas the first two came from Fox) and of course the producers found a way to get Mr. Statham back for Part 3 -- AND they found a way for him to fight with his shirt off. (Marketing class tells us this brings females to the theater.)

Jason Statham Says His Transporter Character Would Kick BOTH Bond And Bourne To The Curb
Last year on the Movies Blog, we wondered, “Who would win a fight between the three best action characters of our age: Jason Bourne, James Bond, or Bruce Wayne?” and to show how serious we here at MTV News are about getting to the bottom of deep mysteries, we brought the question straight to Matt Damon himself.
In our haste to crown Bourne the champ, though, seems in our ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny battle royale we forgot about another tiny franchise star.
And Jason Statham doesn
