Suicide Squad's David Ayer To Direct Jason Statham In The Bee Keeper

David Ayer, best known for helming 2016's Suicide Squad, is set to direct Jason Statham in the unconventional action pic The Bee Keeper. Statham signed onto the film last year, which was picked up by Miramax from a spec script by Kurt Wimmer . The story is said to be"a lightning-paced thriller deeply steeped in the mythology of Bee Keeping," hence where the unconventional aspect kicks in.

Ayer made a name for himself as the writer of Antoine Fuqua's Training Day and the first The Fast and The Furious film. Later, though, he started to write and direct his own features, which typically lean into more raw, realistic and unsettling territory, exemplified in films like Harsh Times, End of Watch, and Fury. Ayer directed Suicide Squad in 2016, and while it was a commercial success, it was also critically panned.

Statham will next be seen in The Expendables 4 and Guy Ritchie's Operation Fortune: Ruse de guerre. The actor is also filming The Meg 2: The Trench, a sequel to his surprise 2018 blockbuster, which pulled in $530 million worldwide. Statham has been steadily building up franchise roles , while also dabbling in one-off action roles like The Bee Keeper. He's also found time to partner with trusted collaborators like Ritchie, who he has worked with multiple times throughout the years.

Ayer's raw, stylish aesthetic will no doubt fit Statham's charm and physicality to a tee, as both are well-suited for a collaboration like The Bee Keeper. It sounds like an interesting concept overall, even if it is currently scant on details.

'Oi, bears, da fuk you is doin bruv? Leave me bees an me uney alone.' *Statham whoops bears ass who comes back with more bears and trash his farm while hes gone. *Statham goes hunting and fights them all with his BEAR hands and rescues the queen bee *Bear on ground makes fist END

David Ayer is awesome so this is a 100% win! DavidAyer ReleaseTheAyerCut
