Jason Statham has been Cast as a Navy Seal

Jason Statham has been cast in a new action thriller called ‘The Killer Elite’. That sounds like a movie he would star in. The film is based on actual events that took place. The story, which is based on a book by Rabulph Finnesis called ‘The Feathermen’ is about a group of former British special forces members that are being hunted by assassins. I sure hope they are ninja assassins, but they are most likely military covert op assassins. They are slightly not as cool as ninjas.
Statham will play a former Navy Seal in the film who is forced out of retirement to save one of his closest friends. I love movies that have anything to do with the military. I have a fascination with the military it’s history and how they operate. Here is a fact you may not know about me, I was so so close to joining the Navy so that I could get on the road to becoming a Navy Seal. I’m not kidding!
The film has a $40 million dollar budget and will begin shooting this fall in London Paris and Australia.

I'm in the military and its awesome!!! Can't wait to see what Statham brings out this time!!! And I guarantee they are NOT ninja because ninjas don't do movies or let other people know they actually exist! FYI ^_^
Ninjas are Cool.
Sure. Why not? I've always thought that this decade was missing a consistent mindless action hero until this guy came along. Movies like this are equivalent to lesser known Schwarzenegger films like "Commando," and if you're a fan of action flicks then you'll see these movies and have no qualms about it.
Sounds fun, but why can't couldn't he have been former S.A.S (British special forces)? I mean, he is BRITISH after all. Plus, is he that old that he would be "retired"?
That doesn't matter. The Americans will never see this junk anyway, so move along.
I concur!!!
If he is British then he is not a Navy seal he is probly SAS special air service.
