THR reports that Jason Statham is reprising his role as Arthur Bishop in an upcoming Mechanic sequel, directed by Dennis Gansel (The Fourth State). The sequel will also star Jessica Alba, Tommy Lee Jones and Michelle Yeoh.

The first Mechanic, which was made in 2011, followed an elite hit man (Statham) that teaches his TRADE to an apprentice (Ben Foster) who has a connection to one of his previous victims. It was a remake of the 1972 Michael Winner classic of the same name, which starred Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent (Statham and Foster played their characters, respectively).

Updates: According to Collider, the Mechanic sequel, titled Mechanic: Resurrection, has started principle photography in Bangkok, Thailand on November 4, with a targeted January 22, 2016 release DATE.

I enjoyed the first one as one of those brainless action movies, but i really don't see the need for another one. Was the first a hit?

Didn't do much at the box office but made some buck in dvd sales/on demand.
