Jason Statham & Jennifer Lopez Sizzle In New 'Parker' Trailer

Jason Statham is one actor that never takes a break, and that’s backed by his latest hard-hitting action film, Parker.

Today FilmDistrict has unveiled the trailer to Parker, which also stars Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce and Nick Nolte.

Based on the novels from Donald E. Westlake, Parker is an expert thief who lives by two simple moral rules: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. After his latest heist, his gang double crosses him, steals his stash and leaves him for dead on the side a road. Determined to make them pay for their transgression, Parker locates them in the land of the rich in Palm Beach Florida, where they are in the middle of the biggest heist ever.

Incognito as a wealthy Texan, Parker joins forces with Leslie (Jennifer Lopez), a highly ambitious, street smart insider who is down on her luck, but is fine as wine. Together, they devise a plan to steal the heist, eliminate Parker’s gang and walk away scotch free from the whole thing.

Parker hits theaters January 25 2013, but in the meantime checkout the trailer below.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
