Another "Job" movie featuring... wait for it... a Mini.

There is another Job movie and it features a mini, (at least in the poster.) Yes, I like Jason Statham but I hope that this one is WAY better than The Italian Job remake. Yes, good MINI stunt sequences but the story was weak. Too bad, Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors.

You can read more about it here.

I wonder if that '56 chevy is going to have a role in the movie too?

It's a Mini not a MINI

I've seen a few documentaries on this particular heist, if the movie is just as good as those it'll at least be worth the price of admission.

I't appears to be a completely different production company than the Italian Job, or the upcoming Brazilian Job

He is awesome, but have you seen "War" with him and Jett Li? Holy crap, freakin' yawn-fest. SO boring.

True enough - I edited the thread title to correct the syntax.

This seems to be the first statham movie without any cheesetastic action and CGI.... I mean seriously, a lot of the movies hes been in *cough* transporter series *cough* contained some pretty ridiculous stuff.
