‘The Beekeeper’ Trailer: Jason Statham And David Ayer Action Movie Flying Toward January Release

Amazon MGM Studios and Miramax have released the trailer for The Beekeeper, the action film that teams star Jason Statham and director David Ayer. The film hits theaters January 12, 2024.

Statham stars as a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as “Beekeepers.” He single-handedly takes on a sinister organization that wronged a friend in a series of violent encounters that end up having national stakes.

Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, Phylicia Rashad and Jeremy Irons also star.

Kurt Wimmer, who co-wrote the current Expendables 4 and previously teamed with Ayer on 2008’s Street Kings, penned the script. The pic is produced by Bill Block, Statham, Ayer, Cedar Park Studios’ Chris Long and Wimmer. Andrew Golov, Thom Zadra and Mark Birmingham are executive producers.

MGM scooped up distribution rights to The Beekeeper after the project debuted in the Cannes market in 2022 with an eye on making this a franchise. That marked a reteam of MGM, Miramax and Statham after their partnership on Wrath of Man.
