I was pretty much wet in my proverbial pussy for this movie.....'till i watched this trailer. The 75 ft. thing gets me. Like as if the Transporter series isn't gimicky and ridiculous enough they add in this silliness! Well either way come Nov. I'm going to see yet another Statham movie.Why is he so appealing to me?He plays the same role in every movie (well I might add) yet he is still a box office hit with an accent. I know I've said this before but he is like Nic Cage but British! He only play over-the-top assed roles and they are all the same. Given he has yet to make his Ghost Rider or his Bangkok Dangerous or Wicker Man, he has done some dumb shit i.e. Death Race, In the Name of the King, soon enough Crank 2, and Mean Machine (a British adaptation of The Longest Yard Now if only we can teach him to speak with a East Coast accent he'd be perfect as the lead for my most anticipated movie of 2000-when-the-fuck-ever Without Remorse! He has the proper age and body type and can carry himself as volatile yet controlled explosion of human bad-assery! If you've no idea what I'm talking about I strongly suggest you pick up and read Without Remorse by Tom Clancy.Clancy is a genius, and in the novel manages to blend his military expertise seamlessly with a Marvel The Punisher style storyline.An excerpt read it please (MICHAEL!!!!!!):It was almost three when Kelly selected him. A loner, as Kelly had taken to calling them. This one had no lieutenant, perhaps was a new one in this business, just learning the ropes. He wasn't that old, or didn't appear so from forty yards away, as he counted through his roll after the night's enterprise. There was a lump at his right hip, undoubtedly a handgun, but his head was down. He was somewhat alert. On hearing Kelly's approach the head came up and turned, giving him a quick once-over, but the head went back to its task, dismissing the approaching shape and counting the money as the distance closed.Kelly had troubled himself to go to his boat earlier in the day, using the Scou

Clancy is a genius, and in the novel manages to blend his military expertise seamlessly with a Marvel The Punisher style storyline. An excerpt or two:
Now picture Statham with say a Baltimore or D.C accent. That perfect mixture of Southern drawl and Northern whateverthefuck. If he could pull of the accent it would be perfect. Man I know I started this off talking about a Transporter 3 trailer and don't worry it's down there, but I've managed to sidetrack my thought train in the right damn direction. At first I was thinking Tom Jane but he did The Punisher and the roles are nearly the same. Also, I thought to myself what about our man Bond, James Bond (Daniel Craig) but nah he's just not right. What about Eric Bana I thought, again just not right, not sure why but not right. Pitt is way the fuck out of the question.
