![]() The projects were assigned budgets ranging from US$30 million to US$40 million / AU$42 million to AU$56 million, with at least one of the films “likely to be set in China.” But as far as we can tell, apart from a single film fronted by an entirely different actor released in 2015 – more on this later – the Frank Martin saga is seemingly dead in the water. ![]() So why did the man behind former special-operations mercenary Frank Martin walk away from making The Transporter 5 around the same time he was committing to The Expendables 3 (2014), Fast & Furious 7 (2015), as well as Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)?īack in 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported EuropaCorp and Fundamental Films would co-finance, produce, and distribute three instalments in The Transporter franchise post T3. While we’ll give some credit to Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000), there’s no denying The Transporter franchise was what really catapulted Jason Statham into mainstream stardom and the cemented his status as a modern action star.
