RELATED: Guy Ritchie To Direct WWII Film About Churchill’s Rogue Special Operatives So That’s It… No Transporter 5 Release Date? No More Transporter, Period?Īt the time of this writing: yes. Just look at what they did to Fast & Furious and Taken. I guess when all is said and done, there are only so many in-movie missions you can watch a former special-operations mercenary turned kickboxing courier embark upon before the services you’ll be requesting involves a bullet to your own head. It’s practically the seventh circle of Hell. Imagine having to sit there after years of soullessly shooting The Transporter film after The Transporter film, dreading release date after release date, all the media promotion involved to sell how the filmmaking philosophy has changed, about how Frank Martin has kinda evolved. Everything We Know About The Transporter 5 Never Change The DealĪs it so happens, before the services of Game of Thrones alum Ed Skrein was enlisted for the soft-reboot The Transporter Refuelled circa 2015, the Stath was offered The Transporter 4 (which eventually became Refuelled), The Transporter 5, as well as The Transporter 6. Here’s everything we know about The Transporter 5. The projects were assigned budgets ranging from US$30 million to US$40 million / AU$42 million to AU$56 million, with at least one of the films “likely to be set in China.” But as far as we can tell, apart from a single film fronted by an entirely different actor released in 2015 – more on this later – the Frank Martin saga is seemingly dead in the water.
So why did the man behind former special-operations mercenary Frank Martin walk away from making The Transporter 5 around the same time he was committing to The Expendables 3 (2014), Fast & Furious 7 (2015), as well as Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)?īack in 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported EuropaCorp and Fundamental Films would co-finance, produce, and distribute three instalments in The Transporter franchise post T3. While we’ll give some credit to Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000), there’s no denying The Transporter franchise was what really catapulted Jason Statham into mainstream stardom and the cemented his status as a modern action star.
