Filmmaker David Ayer, known for movies "Street Kings", "End of Watch", "Suicide Squad", "Bright" and "Fury", has directed the movie from a script by Kurt Wimmer. It was released in theatres in January this year and received positive reviews from the critics.
"The Beekeeper" follows the story of Adam Clay (Statham), a former member of the covert group 'The Beekeepers.
"After retiring to a peaceful life tending to his bees, Adam is thrust back into action when his elderly neighbour falls victim to a sinister scam," the official plotline read.
Statham, the star of action franchises like "Transporter", "Meg" and "The Expendables", described Clay as a "super soldier" who steps in to protect society.
"Clay has an incredible skill set... When society can't protect itself, he's the person, a Beekeeper, that comes in to recreate the equilibrium. That's what Adam Clay really stands for - he is one of these guys that doesn't really exist. He’s almost like this ghost that comes in and course corrects," the actor said in a statement.
"The Beekeeper" also stars Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, Phylicia Rashad and Jeremy Irons.
