The adaptations of television series and best carrier to take on the road
EuropaCorp, the producer of director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) apparently has a “great” partner in the U.S. media lined up for the series, but we’re not saying that at the moment. Although Jason Statham has been in three adrenaline rides like The Transporter, it appears that the action franchise may be heading to the small screen soon. With a budget of $ 48 million, the series is the objective of 12 episodes (at least to be with) which will begin shooting in early 2011 in order to start airing in November. The story itself seems to fit perfectly in the form of television, since it follows the exploits of the holders of the driver transporting anything, anywhere, anytime, by any means necessary, but I doubt Statham really be behind the wheel.

Although the story was successful enough to bring the next sequel in film, I’m not sure I could last an entire season of television, let alone the season thereafter multiples. Apparently, the company is also interested in bringing television Taken. The film follows a father trained special forces chasing shady characters who kidnapped his daughter and tried to assimilate into a sex trafficking operation underground worldwide. Deadline EuropaCorp also mentions that, is also planning to continue its successful trend that began with Nikita (an adaptation of another of its properties), making another of his successful film properties on the small screen. However, this adaptation possible series is still very in its infancy and EuropaCorp not even begin to work on it until after taken 2 begins shooting next year
