Statham’s schedule for Transporter 3 premiere is fast and furious

By Robin Leach

It will be one incredible whirlwind trip tonight for rugged He-Man hunk actor Jason Statham. In fact, it will look as if it’s part of the script from one of his high-speed action adventures.

He will be shooting scenes for his newest movie in Manhattan this morning and afternoon, and at 5 p.m. will jump on a jet for Las Vegas. Jason will appropriately race upon arrival and simply park his Alpha Romeo speedster right on the Strip amid a host of other luxury cars on the forecourt at Planet Hollywood.

He will then meet up with fellow screen tough guy Sylvester Stallone, who he will join along with Jet Li in their next movie venture The Expendables. Jason and Sly have just 30 minutes to discuss the script and shooting schedules -- and then Jason will walk the red carpet through Planet Hollywood for the world premiere of his newest movie, the sequel Transporter 3.

Jason and his co-stars will be introduced on stage by Planet Hollywood chieftain Robert Earl before the screening. After the film, there is a cast party at Prive nightclub there -- and by 1 a.m., Jason will be racing back for his red-eye return flight to New York, where he will be on set by 8 Saturday morning!
