Jason Statham is in “final negotiations” with Lionsgate to star in Blitz, a cop thriller, opposite Paddy Considine in an adaptation of a book by Ken Bruen.  Says Booklist (via Amazon):

Most of the hard-charging cops from The White Trilogy are back–Sergeant Brant, Chief Inspector Roberts, Police Constable Falls–along with a couple of late arrivals, Sergeant Porter Nash and PC McDonald. Slogging their way through a London unrecognizable from postcards, it’s a wonder any of them have survived both criminal mayhem and their own self-destructive impulses. A cop killer dubbed “The Blitz” is wreaking havoc with a hammer, and as the tale rockets forward, the characters find themselves engaged in unlikely alliances: homophobe Brant with openly gay Nash; suddenly supercompetent Roberts with screw-up McDonald; and the black Falls with “Metal,” a racist skinhead.

Oi, Staf heah.  Dey’s changed da fock’n story a bit from dis, cos when da Staf does a movie, cunts’d be well woise to play to da Staf’s particula strenfs, donnit.  Roight.  So den in dis version, Oi play da skin’ead, Metal, on accoun’ a moy ‘airstoyle, an’ cos “Metal” is a fock’n flash name, innit. Den we changed da black fella to a fit bird oi’s knobbin, dis Ukranian model wif a well toight kit.  Den we changed Sergeant Nash to a shoiny sazz wagon, cos da Stafe can’t very well knob a fit bird wiffout a sazz wagon ta do it on, now can Oy?  Cunts. Den dey changed Sergeant Brant to da Staf’s boiceps, an’ PC McDonald to da Staf’s shir’, derefore, McDonald is no longa in da fock’n movie, now is dey.  So oo does dat leave?  Roight, da Chief Inspecta.  As for da ‘Chief Inspecta,’ Oy fink Oy kin leave dat to you’s cunts imaginations, can’t Oy.  Let’s just say in dis version, da ‘Chief Inspecta’ spends a lotta toime wif da black fella, donnit.
