Paddy Considine + Jason Statham = Win

One of my favorite actors (Considine) and one of the most likeable (Statham) teaming up for a serial killer thriller sounds ok to me. Considine is one of the best actors out there and hopefully this helps people discover him. He is great in everything he’s in.

Jason Statham is in final negotiations to star in “Blitz,” a London-set thriller about a serial killer targeting police officers.

Lionsgate U.K. is fully financing the project, which is an adaptation of Ken Bruen’s bestseller of the same name. Mandate Intl. will handle international sales.

Statham will play a tough, uncompromising cop assigned the task of tracking down the killer. Paddy Considine will play his partner.
