Jason Statham and his manager and producing partner Steve Chasman have acquired rights to the J.J. Connolly novel Viva La Madness. That is Connolly’s follow-up novel to Layer Cake. Just as he did with the the Matthew Vaughn-directed film that starred Daniel Craig, Connolly again is turning his novel into a script.

Layer Cake was really good - and Craig was great in it ... but can Statham fill his shoes? Is it the same character? (I'm not familiar with the source text).

Sounds like a bad idea at first, but like MZ, I am unfamiliar with the source material.

I like Statham, but he's usually a great addition to a bad/cheesy film, if you know what I mean.
