“Levon’s Trade” Novel Cover
Action star Jason Statham (The Meg, Redemption, The Expendables) is currently hard-at-work on MGM’s Levon’s Trade, an upcoming actioner – written by Sylvester Stallone (Rambo: Last Blood, Rocky) – that will reunite Statham with The Beekeeper director, David Ayer (End of Watch, Suicide Squad).
Joining Statham is David Harbour (Extraction), Michael Peña (Narcos: Mexico), Jason Flemyng (The Iron Mask) and Arianna Rivas (The Harvest).
The movie – based on the novel of the same by comic author Chuck Dixon (Batman) – will chart how Levon Cade (Statham) left his “profession” behind him to go ‘straight’ and work in construction. He wants to live a simple life and be a good father to his daughter. But when his boss’s teenage daughter Jenny vanishes, he’s called upon to re-employ the skills that made him a legendary figure in the shadowy world of black ops. His hunt for the missing college student takes him deep into the heart of a sinister criminal conspiracy creating a chain reaction that will threaten his new way of life (via Deadline).

I’m intrigued! Chuck Dixon’s comic work is great, and his runs on Moon Knight and Birds of Prey were a great combination of action and fun.
