The Pitch:<\/strong>\u00a0“Hey, We could remake\u00a0“The Mechanic”<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 with Jason Statham<\/strong> in the Charles Bronson<\/strong> role and Ben Foster<\/strong> in the Jan-Michael Vincent<\/strong> role.”<\/p>\n

“Let’s do it!”<\/p>\n

The Tagline:<\/strong>\u00a0 “Someone has to fix the problems.” [Where was this person when this remake was made?]<\/p>\n

The Overview:<\/strong>\u00a0 Jason Statham<\/strong>\u00a0is Author Bishop<\/strong> aka The Mechanic<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Bishop<\/strong> is a hit man — the best in the business and able to kill without leaving a clue. \u00a0Often his hits look like fatal accidents. \u00a0Bishop<\/strong> works alone, is precise, methodical and logical. \u00a0When Bishop’s mentor<\/strong> is killed, Bishop<\/strong> takes on the mentor’s son as an apprentice. \u00a0This will lead to the death of many including one or both of them.<\/p>\n
