Jason Statham to Play Guy Who Steals Someone's Bike in Jason Statham Stole My Bike

Jason Statham reunites with director David Leitch for a PG-13 action-comedy with a budget over $80 million and a planned wide domestic release by Black Bear.

  • This month, Jason Statham, actor, will headline Jason Statham Stole My Bike, dropped into the European Film Market in Berlin for buyers, with David Leitch directing.
  • Production is led by established companies including Punch Palace Productions, 87 North, and producers Meredith Berg and Ethan Erwin, with financing arranged by CAA Media Finance, supporting a budget set north of $80M.
  • Scriptwriter Alison Flierl provides a PG-13, tongue-in-cheek action comedy with major action set pieces and high-wire feats.
  • Filming is being lined up for May 2026 as the European Film Market sees few big-canvas arrivals, with Amazon reported to be circling rights in multiple territories.
  • Leitch's history with big-canvas action films indicates the reunion could be a significant sale for distributors and platforms, given Statham's draw from franchises like The Meg and Fast & Furious.
