October 12th, 2012 has been selected as the release date for Parker, based on a character created by Donald E. Westlake writing as Richard Stark.
Parker stars Jason Statham as the titular character, a professional thief, who appeared in 24 novels published between 1962 and the author's death in 2008. The film also stars Michael Chiklis as Parker's nemesis, Nick Nolte as his mentor, and Jennifer Lopez as the femme fatale (aka a real estate agent who teams up with Parker to pull off a heist).
Taylor Hackford (The Devil's Advocate, Dolores Claiborne) will direct an original screenplay thought to be inspired by at least two books in the series, The Hunter (later published as Point Blank and Payback, in recognition of the films adapted from the book) and Flashfire.
