 EXCLUSIVE
〉Statham will star in the upcoming action/thriller

Jason Statham has signed on to star in HIGH VALUE TARGET. The high-intensity action/thriller follows an international squad of private military contractors who infiltrate a cargo ship overrun by pirates in order to capture and extract a seemingly impossible High-Value Target — the pirate warlord.

The film is produced by Nu Image/Millennium Films, Vinson Films, and Energy Entertainment.

Spencer Cohen was previously attached to direct. Cohen also wrote the screenplay, which was featured on the 2012 Hit List.

Statham most recently starred in The Expendables 3 and Wild Card. The action star is next set to appear as the villain in Furious 7 and try his hand at comedy in Spy. He’ll also star in Mechanic: Resurrection and Viva La Madness.

Statham is repped by CAA and Current Entertainment.
