For more than two decades, Jason Statham has been creating unconventional action films filled with unforgettable fight scenes, establishing himself as a true action movie icon. In his latest project, titled “The Beekeeper,” Statham takes on the role of Mr. Clay, a former agent affiliated with a secretive organization known as The Beekeepers. When Clay’s friend (portrayed by Phylicia Rashad) tragically takes her own life following a phishing scam, Clay embarks on a mission to seek justice and get revenge on the company responsible for these widespread fraudulent activities.
Statham has established himself as a standout in the action movie genre, primarily through his involvement in unconventional films like Crank and The Mechanic. In his latest endeavor, The Beekeeper, he aims to maintain that reputation by delivering a thrilling fight scene set in an office space. Surprisingly, Clay, the main character, takes on his adversaries without any weapons, ingeniously utilizing office chairs and a phone to bring down the bad guys. Witness this remarkable scene firsthand below.
“I consider myself a bee enthusiast,” Statham casually mentions as he gets ready to release his own unique sting, simultaneously dousing computers with gasoline. “My mission is to safeguard the precious hive. Occasionally, I employ the power of fire to evict pesky hornets from our domain.”
Statham is also involved in the production of the movie, which features a talented cast including Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, and Jeremy Irons. The script was written by the experienced action movie veteran writer Kurt Wimmer, known for his work on films like Equilibrium, Expendables 4, and Ultraviolet. Although Ayers may be finished with DC, he appears eager to make a comeback in the action movie genre.
The highly anticipated film, “The Beekeeper,” will be released in cinemas on January 12th.
