Jason Statham is heading to Scotland for an untitled action thriller from director Baltasar Kormakur. More on the project here.
Jason Statham’s already scored a delightfully fun hit movie this year with The Beekeeper, which has turned in a good profit after its cinema run back in January. He made that with director David Ayer, and the pair are now working on a new film, Levon’s Trade, based on a script written by Sylvester Stallone. It’s currently set for release at the start of 2025.
By the time that particular film arrives with us though, Jason Statham will be on a remote Scottish island, filming his next movie after that. It’s a film without a title at the moment, but we know that it’s going to be directed by Baltasar Kormakur, who previously brought Everest to the big screen.
Ward Parry has written the script for Untitled Thriller About Jason Statham On A Remote Scottish Island When Things From His Past Come Back To Haunt Him.

It’s described as an action thriller, and the plot sees The Statham playing a man called Mason. There are no bees involved, but he’s on said island by himself when he rescues a young girl in a storm. This proves to be a bit of a moment, as it opens up his remote life, in comes trouble, and ghosts from the past sound like they’re getting a ticket to said remote Scottish island too. Fun and games.
Filming on Untitled Thriller About Jason Statham On A Remote Scottish Island When Things From His Past Come Back To Haunt Him – they’ve not given it a title yet, so I’m still going with that – is set to begin in November according to Deadline. The shoot will be location from then, and then studio work will be taking place in Iceland.
The film is heading to the Cannes Film Festival courtesy of its backers, Black Bear, where distribution deals will be sought. In the meantime, The Statham needs to find a nice warm coat, and it sounds like he’s got until November to do so. More on Untitled Thriller About Jason Statham On A Remote Scottish Island When Things From His Past Come Back To Haunt Him as we hear it.
