JASON STATHAM TO PLAY ICONIC CHARACTER FROM RICHARD STARK
Somehow I missed this, but a couple of months ago, Variety's Justin Kroll announced that Taylor Hackford will be directing Parker, a new movie based on the Donald Westlake/Richard Stark character that screenwriter John McLaughlin had been developing for a while with Brian De Palma, who had been attached to direct (see my post from last January). De Palma has since committed to make Passion this year. Jason Statham will play Parker, and Hackford, who says he hopes to make more than a mere genre picture out of it, will produce as well as direct.
