WithGuy Ritchie’sWrath of Manopening in theaters this weekend, I recently spoke toJason Stathamabout making the action-thriller. Based on the 2004 French action-thrillerLe Convoyeur,Wrath of Manfollows a security guard named H (Statham) who has an ulterior motive when he takes a job working for an armored truck company responsible for moving hundreds of millions of dollars around Los Angeles each week. Unlike the previous Ritchie and Statham films which had funny moments and quirky characters,Wrath of Manhas a more serious tone that will keep you guessing all the way through. The film was written by Ritchie,Ivan Atkinson,andMarn Daviesand also starsJosh Hartnett,Scott Eastwood,Holt McCallany,Jeffrey Donovan,Laz Alonso,Raul Castillo,Niamh Algar,andPost Malone.
During the interview, Statham talked about reteaming with Ritchie after fifteen years, howWrath of Manbreaks with the typical narrative structure, why they waited until the day they were filming to craft the action, the great supporting cast, and more. In addition, we talked aboutThe Meg 2, the status of aHobbs & Shawsequel, if Deckard Shaw will make an appearance in the last twoFast and Furiousmovies, what it will take for stunt performers to be recognized in award season, and more.
