The Transporter Reins Have Been Passed On To A New Generation Of Bad Boys

After monopolising dangerous driving, kick-ass fighting and moody expressions in the first three The Transporter movies, Jason Statham has handed over the reins to Game of Thrones favourite, Ed Skrein for The Transporter Refuelled.

Set as a prequel to the existing trilogy, Skrein will take on the role of Frank Martin as the most highly-skilled transporter money can buy.

Watch the trailer for The Transporter Refulled here:

Sticking rigidly to the three golden rules, Frank never changes the deal, never gets the names and never opens the package.

What he doesn’t account for, however, are his customers who have a very different view of how he should operate and, when our hero encounters a particularly cunning femme fatale, his rule book gets thrown right out of the window.

Suddenly Frank finds himself in a race against time and a ruthless group of Russian human traffickers to save his kidnapped father.

Directed by Camille Delamarre (Brick Mansions) and writing by duo Bill Collage and Adam Cooper (Exodus: Gods and Kings), The Transporter Refuelled is based on the original 2002 story from French director and producer Luc Besson (Taken, Lucy).

The action will be winging its way to the UK on September, 4 but, for a sneak preview of this fourth instalment with a brand new cast, watch the trailer here.
