"Transporter 3" to Shoot Next Year

by | March 12, 2007 | Comments

With the success of "The Transporter" and "Transporter 2," completing the trilogy seems like a no brainer. Yet, there has been little confirmation about plans to move forward, until now. Producer Luc Besson suggested a start date for a third adventure of Frank Martin the Driver.

"Probably March/April," Besson said, referring to 2008, not the current month.

Besson created the character and cowrote the scripts, as well as produced the first two "Transporter" films. Expect him to remain creatively involved in part three. "It’s too much fun," he grinned like a little kid playing with his toys.

With an early 2008 start, it is conceivable that the film could be finished in time for the September slot the first two films had. However, these are still early talks and Besson is not announcing any release dates.
