The Transporter was released in the year 2002, when the action movie genre was much different than it is today. The film follows Frank Martin, an ex-special forces agent who retired to become an international transporter of goods. This "refueled" version has a new director and writers with only one other film experience (Bourne Identity) under their belt. They take on the job of completely overhauling this sleeper hit; infusing it with thrilling fight scenes, high-octane chases and more back-stabbing action that will keep your eyes glued to the screen. The film was produced by Edgar Wright and Gill Gilliam, who also directed the two previous installments in the Transporter franchise. Voltage Pictures will be handling international rights. "I hope you've seen The Transporter," Matt Damon said to a packed out press conference at Bushwick in Brooklyn, New York City on April 29, 2010. Ever since the first film, there has been a series of four sequels which have topped the box office in Asia and Europe with each entry. "It's a big deal for me to go back into that world where over 3. 5 million people every weekend see me put my life on the line." The film's release date has been pushed back to mid-2012 (February 2012) after numerous delays.
