The Collider:
FilmDistrict has pushed back Taylor Hackford‘s Parker to January 25th. Based on the mystery novels by Donald Westlake, Parker stars Jason Statham as the eponymous thief, and co-stars Jennifer Lopez, Nick Nolte, Wendell Pierce, Clifton Collins Jr., and Michael Chiklis. The movie was originally set to open on October 12th where it would have faced (and probably lost to) the star-studded The Gangster Squad and the Kevin James comedy Here Comes the Boom.
Clickonline writes "I want to emphasis, this IS NOT a list of the year’s greatest action movies. Far from it*. This just catalogues the most dynamic, most kinetic, most ‘Holy-Balls-did-you-just-see-t hat’ sequences of 2013.
*Example, Fast Six has so many good bits it’s too hard to snare just one. Parker on the other hand…"
Action star Jason Statham teams up with veteran Hollywood filmmaker Taylor Hackford in Parker, an unapologetic old fashioned action thriller that gives the Stath a little more to work with in his portrayal of one of crime fiction’s beloved characters.

This week in the continuing roller coaster that is the Blu-ray release schedule we are packed with both new and catalog releases. Just a few of the new releases include Schwarzenegger and Statham, there’s more bad teen supernatural melodrama, Soderbergh’s final film and the ”Indian” scientist from Short Circuit gets behind the camera. The catalog titles are even more diverse with beloved Japanese animation, a lot of schlocky horror, an early attempt to make a Marvel superhero movie, a vacation from hell and a lot of classic gangsters just to start with.
I didn't even know he'd made a movie with JLo....don't know about that. I love him so I'll be watching it for sure.
