The new Transporter television series will remain "connected" to the original movie trilogy, according to executive producer Bernard Bouix. Prison Break star Chris Vance will play the role of expert driver Frank Martin in the series, the role originated by Jason Statham in the films. Bouix has now told Nice Matin that French actor François Berléand will reprise his film role as honest cop Tarconi.

Supposed to air early 2012. I'm optimistic enough for it, providing they can do the driving without making it look too fake.
Cinemax's TV adaptation of The Transporter has lost showrunners Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie.
The pair left the project over creative differences after just three weeks of filming, according to Deadline.
The Tudors producer Steve Shill will now take over showrunner duties, overseeing shooting on the action-drama's fourth and fifth episodes.
I think it would be a perfect fit for ITV4 but who knows...
(Thats of course unless a broadcaster already has the rights to it in the UK or its a co-production?)
Will probably end up on 5USA.
No2 was great.
No3 was the one that ruined their winning streek. :mad:
with regards to No3, you sir are wrong - the choppy editting of the fight scenes completely ruining the movie for me, making it unwatchable. :mad:
Then you were not that into the movie if you found it unwatchable
That has to be one of thé most over used and dramatic terms on this forum!!!!
Filming delayed for 2 weeks while Chris Vance recovers from an injury.
I re-watched 2 last night an enjoyed it a bit more. I didn't like the fact that he wasn't really transporting anything, he was doing a favour for 2 people who didn't even seem to know him
A television series based on the Transporter films has lost its showrunner for the second time in five months. The Tudors producer Steve Shill was brought in as showrunner in August, replacing original executive producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie.
Filming on the 12-part action series was halted in October, after series star Vance was injured while filming an action sequence. The show is now due to resume filming in Toronto in the spring, with the final five episodes still to be shot.
Not a good sign.
Most of the time, the producers have ego's the size of Mars and when they don't get what they want, they walk out in a rather childish manner, just like these two morons but hopefully the filming can get back on track and bring us a series to remember and no more wannabe-diva-like behaviour from another egotistical producer...
