The Beekeeper (2024)
Expose the corruption. Protect the hive.
The #13 biggest global blockbuster of the year (so far), The Beekeeper stars Critics Choice nominee Jason Statham (The Transporter, Wrath of Man, Expend4bles) as a man whose brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organisation known as “Beekeepers.”
As Globe and Mail says, “There is no anxiety in this increasingly stressful world that cannot be soothed by watching Jason Statham kick someone in the throat.”
Directed by David Ayer, who wrote Training Day and the original The Fast and the Furious, The Beekeeper’s all-star cast includes Emmy Raver-Lampman (The Umbrella Academy), People’s Choice winner Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark in the Hunger Games movies), Oscar nominee Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting), six-time Emmy nominee Phylicia Rashad (Mary-Anne Creed in the Creed films) and Oscar winner Jeremy Irons (Watchmen).
