You know you’re truly an iconic movie star when you play yourself in a meta movie where you mock your entire persona. Just ask John Malkovich and Nicolas Cage. And now, we can add action movie and Fast and the Furious icon Jason Statham to the esteemed (yet small) group of actors. According to a report from Empire, Jason Statham will play himself in the upcoming film, Jason Statham Stole My Bike. While we wish this were a remake of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, with Statham playing bike thief Francis Buxton, it sadly does not seem to be the case. The director of Jason Statham Stole My Bike is The Fall Guy and Deadpool 2‘s David Leitch.
What do we know about this upcoming meta action-comedy? Not a lot, besides its titular star playing a version of himself. The original report says the film, which begins shooting in May, has a budget of $80 million dollars. That is a substantial amount for a comedy, even one with plenty of action in it. The screenplay comes from Alison Flierl, whose credits include BoJack Horseman and the School of Rock series. Jason Statham has a huge international box office appeal, which is likely how this movie secured such a big budget.
It’s been a long time since an outright comedy struck box office gold. At least struck it in such a way as to warrant such a hefty price tag. Once the bread and butter of the Hollywood film industry, in an era with a metric ton of comedy series on streaming, and with everyone looking at funny videos on their phones, folks just don’t want to pay to see a good old-fashioned comedy on the big screen. Maybe Jason Statham can be the action hero who saves the big-budget comedy movie. No pressure, Mister Statham. We’re sure you’ve got this.

Given the high price of medical care in the United States, it’s no surprise that many find themselves putting off essential treatment, even if they have insurance.
In fact, almost half of American adults say it’s difficult to afford healthcare costs. Additionally, around a third of American adults admit to having put off medical care due to cost concerns.
The best thing to literally come out of Jurassic World Rebirth was Spin Master’s amazing Primal Hatch toy. That’s because that best-selling T.rex toy doesn’t just come out of a box; it comes out of an egg. Yes, it really hatches. That might sound awesome, but after seeing it first-hand, I can assure you it’s somehow even better than you think. Now, another beloved franchise with an upcoming new big-screen entry is getting in on the interactive fun. We are thrilled to exclusively reveal The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is cracking open its own version of the Primal Hatch toy to celebrate the arrival of Mario’s iconic dinosaur buddy in theaters. And before he makes his theatrical debut, Spin Master’s will let you bring him home with the new Hatchin’ Yoshi. Check out Nerdist’s exclusive first look at Hatchin’ Yoshi, the most delightfully playful dino ever.
Spin Master’s latest hatching dinosaur is a little more adorable than his T.rex counterpart. But this interactive toy is still just as fun as his roaring brethren. Here’s Hatchin’ Yoshi’s official description:
Hatch, play and display your very own interactive Yoshi, inspired by Nintendo and Illumination’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie! Start the hatch by tapping the egg, knocking on it and rocking it back and forth. Once Yoshi is ready, you’ll start to see the egg rock side to side on its own. Listen closely for any noises and watch as the egg cracks and Yoshi pops out, greeting you with a “Yoshi!”
Once Yoshi (much to Toad’s chagrin) is fully free of his egg, he’s ready to play. You can then “gently pat his head or touch his nose to play with him.” You can also talk with Hatchin’ Yoshi by pushing down on his shell. When you speak to him, he’ll talk back.
You won’t have to wait for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to hit theaters to bring home your own dino pal. While the film arrives on April 1, Hatchin’ Yoshi ($59.99) is arriving early. You can preorder yours starting February 15. It will then launch on Walmart.com on the 20th, before hitting Walmart stores and other major retailers on March 21st.
Will Spin Master’s Hatchin’ Yoshi toy be the best thing to come out of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? It literally might be.
