Revving It

So they are prepping a TV version of Jason Statham’s Transporter franchise, and the powers that be have cast Chris Vance (Prison Break) as their lead.

And I likey.

Yep, the yummy-looking Brit will be playing professional transporter Frank Martin on the show that Luc Besson, who co-wrote all three movies, is executive producing.

Cinemax – yeah, you read that right – plans to air the show’s first season, which will shoot this summer in Canada and Europe (and which Vance promises will be “high octane”) next year.
