She has the code. He is the key. And no one is safe! Collider has unveiled the official theatrical poster for Boaz Yakin's Safe, the new action-thriller starring Jason Statham due out this spring (watch the trailer). While we've seen plenty of badass shots of Statham before, and lots of gun-pointed-at-the-camera imagery, this poster combines those two elements with some lush colors to deliver an eye-catching action design. I'm sure they're trying to make sure this poster stands out in the crowd of action flicks coming up, and putting Statham posed like this was definitely a smart idea. I like it, and I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.
A former elite agent takes on a two-tier mission: rescue a Chinese girl who's been abducted by the Triads, then use a safe combination to outwit the Russian Mafia, corrupt NYC officials, and the Triads themselves.
Safe is written and directed by Boaz Yakin, a New York-born filmmaker who was set to direct the doomed "Batman Beyond" project that became Batman Begins, eventually directing Fresh, A Price Above Rubies, Remember the Titans, Uptown Girls and Death in Love most recently. Lionsgate originally had this set for release this fall, but delayed it until March 2nd next year. Looks awesome, I'm seeing it. Watch the trailer.

I want to see Jason Stathem in a romantic comedy where he is a kung fu instructor and his girlfriend is chinese, and he has to meet his girlfriends parents for the first time. The girlfriend's parents are very traditional and highly dislikes that white people have butchered kung fu and martial artst in general. Comedy should ensue... Kind of like Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac in Guess Who, but with Jason Stathem and... Jackie Chan in... Kung Fool.

I don't think this movie will suck. In fact, I think it looks quite badass! Look forward to it.

While his last 10 or so films have been hit or miss, I still like the guy and you gotta give Statham credit for rocking all these single name (and two word) movies and posters:P
