Jason Statham Comments on Why He Left The Transporter Series
"I just couldn't see the value in that."
Actor Jason Statham claims his time with The Transporter films ended due to an offer he deemed unfavorable.
"You know what? It was obviously a great experience doing those films, and I would have loved to keep doing it. But they wanted me to sign on and do three more films without even seeing a script, and they offered me less money to do three than I'd get paid for one!" Statham told Vulture in an interview.
"So it was a business decision. I would have loved to have done it, but you can't really sign on without doing a script, and to sign on for three of them? And to get paid a pittance? I just couldn't see the value in that."
Statham starred in the first three Transporter films, which are soon to be rebooted with an all-new cast in The Transporter Refueled. Learn more about his most recent on-screen performance by reading IGN's Furious 7 review.
