Jason Statham In Talks For Parker

The film follows the story of a thief who is forced to be killer, but still lives by his own honor system that doesn't allow him to steal money from people who need it. He will do whatever is necessary to keep to that bond, no matter what the cost.

Statham is known for his action roles, so this film just might be perfect for him.
