Jason Statham Stole My Bike has secured an August 6, 2027 theatrical release, confirming the film’s place in the upcoming summer slate. The meta‑comedy stars the real Jason Statham playing a fictionalized version of himself and is directed by David Leitch. Production wrapped this week on the $80 million PG‑13 action comedy, which promises a series of high‑octane set pieces.
Alison Flierl, known for her work on “BoJack Horseman” and “School of Rock,” penned the script from a story she co‑created with Scott Chernoff. Leitch and his wife Kelly McCormick produce through their 87 North banner, alongside Statham, John Friedberg, Meredith Berg and Ethan Erwin.
Statham’s Busy Schedule
Statham recently wrapped Guy Ritchie’s “Viva La Madness” and a sequel to “The Beekeeper,” both slated for next‑year releases. He also headlined the recent thrillers “Mutiny” and “Shelter.”
Why the Announcement Matters
Setting a firm release date gives fans a clear timeline for what could become a standout summer comedy, especially with a budget that rivals many blockbuster action films. The combination of Statham’s star power and Leitch’s kinetic direction suggests a fresh, self‑referential take on the action‑comedy formula.
