EXCLUSIVE: After working together on The Beekeeper and A Working Man, David Ayer and Jason Statham are reteaming on action-thriller John Doe, with Ayer directing from a script by blockbuster screenwriter Zak Penn (Ready Player One, The Avengers).
Statham is set to play the Man With No Name in the film, which will chart the story “of a man with no memory, no past, and no name — and only one face he can’t forget: Eliza. As fragments of his identity return, he discovers he was trained for a mission still in motion and is being hunted by the very people who sent him. With enemies closing in, John must choose between finishing what he started… or protecting the one thing that makes him feel human: love.”
Miramax is producing and financing, with Statham producing via Punch Palace Productions. Paul Schiff and Zak Penn are also producing.
