The Mechanic with Jason Statham is a Remake of the film of the same name starring Charles Bronson (German version: Cold Breath) from 1972. The reissued thriller delivered a positive result at the box office and received a sequel called Mechanic: Resurrection in 2016.
According to director Dennis Gansel’s wishes, Resurrection was intended to be the starting point for a new franchise with Statham as a kind “dirty James Bond”, but that never happened. Even eight years later, fans are still waiting for an announcement about The Mechanic 3.
