Jason Statham is a Hummingbird. Presumably a Stabbing, Neck-Breaking, and Shooting Hummingbird.

Jason Statham is a very badass man. All his movies prove it. So Jason Statham signing up for a drama called “Hummingbird” may leave you a tad worried.

Don’t be.

In “Hummingbird”, Statham will play an ex-Special Forces badass who “assumes another identity to avenge injustice in London’s criminal underworld.”

See? It’s just Statham being his badass self. Sure, they’re labeling it as a “drama”, but come on, it’s Jason Statham in an action movie about a dude who kills a bunch of London criminal types. Basically, Statham being Statham, and if you happen to like that (as I do), then this is good news.

Steven Knight (“Eastern Promises”) will direct from his own script. Shooting is set for early 2012 on location in London.

    Am I the only one who’d like to see the Stath in a “Twins”/”Junior”/”Pacifier”-style kids movie? Just for variety’s sake?

      Actually no you’re not. I’d like something closer to “Race to Witch Mountain” but yeah plus he’s got comedic timing.

        Or even better, with all the remakes and reboots and pre/sequels that work the nostalgia angle, someone ought to throw Stath and the Rock in an old-fashioned, 80′s buddy action flick, sort of like “Cop Out” minus the suck. These are clearly two fine performers with charisma to spare that can do the physical stuff. And I can’t imagine it’d be that expensive to do either

      No, I wouldn’t like to see that. I prefer him in his a$$-kicking roles. If you want him in a comedy role, just pop in Crank 1 or 2.

    Watch “London” (2005)… it;s a drama.. also Statham is very funny in that movie…and I think it’s his best acting till date..in fact it’s a role which gave him scope to show his acting prowess..

    If you want laughs with Statham, we need more Guy Ritchie stuff. RocknRolla, .Snatch, etc.
