After collaborating on The Beekeeper and A Working Man, filmmaker David Ayer and actor Jason Statham are reuniting for the action thriller John Doe. Ayer is helming the film from a script by Zak Penn, known for his works in Ready Player One and The Avengers.
Set to play a 'man with no name,' which will revolve around the story of a man with no memories, no past, and no name, who could only remember one face: Eliza. Once he pieces together the fragments of memories he could recollect, he discovers that he was trained for a mission, and the people who sent him on the mission are hunting for him.
Statham, through his Punch Palace Productions, Paul Schiff, and Zak Penn, is backing the film. The actor's upcoming films include Guy Ritchie's Viva La Madness, David Leitch's meta action-comedy Jason Statham Stole My Bike, and The Beekeeper 2.
