From http://www.paddyconsidine.co.uk/news.htm:

"Paddy and Jason Statham ('Snatch,' 'Crank,' 'Transporter') have both been confirmed as signed on to star in 'Blitz,' based on a crime novel by Ken Bruen. In 'Blitz,' Statham will play Brant, a crude, un-PC, borderline sociopath of a cop, with Paddy playing his partner: Sergeant Porter Nash, an openly gay cop who works with Statham's homophobe. Brant is on the trail of a serial killer called 'The Blitz' who is killing cops all over London. Elliott Lester ('Love Is the Drug') is directing from a script by Nathan Parker, who made his debut with this summer's indie sci-fi sensation, 'Moon.' "

I'm reading the book right now, and it's really good. Blitz is actually the fourth book in Ken Bruen's series about Sergeant Brandt. The first three are combined into one volume called The White Trilogy. All of the books have been great so far, and Statham is perfect to play Brandt. I'm really looking forward to this movie, so I truly hope it gets a US release.

I hope it does, too. Though I'm not familiar with the books, this does sound like an interesting story. :)
