Jason Statham will star in a U.S. remake of the French thriller "Le Convoyeur", with Guy Ritchie directing for Miramax.

The duo worked previously together on the 1998 crime-thriller "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", "Snatch" in 2001 and 2005's "Revolver".

Statham will portray a cold and mysterious character who works for an armored truck company responsible for moving hundreds of millions of dollars around Los Angeles each week. The original movie, which was also known as "Cash Truck", starred Jean Dujardin and Albert Dupontel.

"I'm looking forward to bringing this story to life and working with Jason while he still has the use of his knees" Ritchie said.
