Link: Jason Statham Returning For 'The Beekeeper 2', Timo Tjahjanto Directing For Miramax

 

Miramax is reteaming with Jason Statham for The Beekeeper 2, a sequel to the 2024 $162.6M global hit. Nobody 2 director Timo Tjahjanto is set to helm off a Kurt Wimmer screenplay.

 

Cameras will roll this fall.

 

The first movie, directed by David Ayer, follows a retired clandestine human intelligence operative who sets out for revenge after his kind-hearted landlady becomes the victim of a phishing scam that steals millions of dollars from a charity she runs. The studio and filmmakers are looking to bring Ayer back in a producing capacity to the sequel. Ayer is currently in production on the Brad Pitt Paramount movie The Heart of the Beast.

 

Amazon/MGM Studios is currently being buzzed to take domestic on the sequel, the first of which they handled a year ago, filling a void in a strike-impacted box office.

 

Horror-action filmmaker Tjahjanto counts massive Indonesian features on Netflix: The Shadow Strays, The Night Comes for Us, and The Big Four. Nobody 2, which has Bob Odenkirk returning, and also stars Sharon Stone and Connie Nielsen, is being released on Universal on Aug. 15...
