Jason Statham Returning for ‘The Beekeeper 2’


Jason Statham is returning to star in 'The Beekeeper 2,' with director Timo Tjahjanto taking the reins from David Ayer.

The Miramax movie is set to start production in the fall, with “Nobody 2” director Timo Tjahjanto taking the reins from David Ayer, who helmed the kooky conspiracy thriller, which debuted last January and grossed $152 million worldwide. Tjahjanto — who is currently in post on “Nobody 2” for Universal, following a string of massive Indonesian hits (“The Shadow Strays,” “The Night Comes for Us,” and “The Big Four”) on Netflix — directs from a script by Kurt Wimmer. In addition to starring in the film, Staham will also produce the project through his Punch Palace Productions shingle, alongside Chris Long who produces for his Long Shot Productions.
