Jason Statham Interview For ‘The Mechanic’ – Out In Cinemas Now
Jan 25th
In ancient Mesopotamian there is a legend that one day a child will be born from a dragon and vanquish evil from the world. That man is not Jason Statham, because Jason killed that man…..with a cotton bud and a handkerchief. Moving swiftly on The Mechanic is a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson flick of the same name and stars Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland, Jeff Chase, Christa Campbell, Liam Ferguson, Eddie J. Fernandez and J.D. Evermore. Check out what Mr Statham had to say about the film bellow. The Mechanic is out in cinemas 28th January.
You’ve said you want to move towards more quality films. Is The Mechanic one of them?
Jason Statham: I think it’s definitely moving in a direction that I want to be moving in, yes. It’s a little more interesting to play this kind of a character than some of the other roles I’ve done, and now I’m getting to work with more experienced producers and more experienced directors, like Simon West. And of course actors of great quality like Ben Foster [Statham’s Mechanic sidekick]. I think once you get a good screenplay, everything else about a film gets raised in some way. That’s the driving force for me – to work with better people, doing better things, and having better scripts. This is certainly something going in the right direction.
What makes you pick a film?
Jason Statham: Gut instinct mostly. That and your intuition are the best things. You have to like the script and be involved with a director you think can steer the ship and keep it off the rocks. That’s a very important thing. [Director] Simon West comes with so much experience so it’s not like you have to make any second guesses that he’s going to know what he’s doing. I’ve worked with first-time directors and they seem cool but sometimes you go, “Am I doing the right thing? Does he know what he’s doing?” I was so pleased Simon was going to do an action film and I was going to be in it. And as soon as they told me they were trying to cast Ben Foster opposite me, I thought, “This is a no-brainer”.

Jan 4th
In ancient Mesopotamian there is a legend that one day a child will be born from a dragon and vanquish evil from the world. That man is not Jason Statham, because Jason killed that man…..with a spoon and a handkerchief. Moving swiftly on The Mechanic is a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson flick of the same name and stars Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland, Jeff Chase, Christa Campbell, Liam Ferguson, Eddie J. Fernandez and J.D. Evermore. Look out for this in cinemas January 28th, 2011.
Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a ‘mechanic’ – an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It’s a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed – he wants those responsible dead.
His mission grows complicated when Harry’s son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop’s trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can’t turn his back on Harry’s son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.
