22 Jason Statham Gets Buzzy
DAVID AYER’S REVENGE THRILLER KICKS OFF
THE BEEKEEPER
OUT 12 JAN
David, you do realise this film’s title is an open goal for journalists wanting to show off their bee puns?
Oh, I know. “There’s a lot of buzz about The Beekeeper.” “Get stung by The Beekeeper.” [Laughs] We have some fun with bee puns in the movie. I’m sure you’ll see plenty of bee memes.
What is a ‘Beekeeper’ in the context of the film?
The Beekeepers are an ancient organisation that redress the balance of society — providing justice and protecting the ‘hive’. Jason plays a retired Beekeeper [Mr Clay] who suddenly finds a very good reason to reactivate.
