New French Trailer for 'Transporter 3' is All Action, All Subtitles

DateSunday, August 10, 2008 at 3:10PM
The scenery sure hasn't changed much in the Transporter movies. I guess that's no surprise. I'm hopeful the third one will be somewhat better than the second one, and I'm always fearful we'll get more homoerotic shirtless oil wrestling, an action scene that gave a new definition to "smuggling" in the first film.

There's a new French teaser trailer from Trailer Addict that features some staples of the franchise: Jason Statham in a suit, Jason Statham shirtless, Jason Statham driving fast, and Jason Statham fighting a room full of dudes. This time, however, he's hooked up to Dennis Hopper's bomb from Speed or something.

I know we shouldn't expect greatness or even a huge degree of inventiveness from these movies, but surely they can change it up a little more than they have, right? After all, it's not like the formula they're following has ever been overwhelmingly successful. There is one cool addition: The director's name is Olivier Megaton. Since he was born on August 6th, Megaton takes his professional name from the first atomic bomb. So, this movie may not play well in Hiroshima.

Transporter 3 zooms into theaters on November 26th.
