“Spy” star Jason Statham has been making the promotional rounds for Paul Feig’s action-comedy, during which he provided an update on the “Layer Cake” sequel “Viva La Madness.”
Matthew Vaughn directed the 2004 British gangster movie “Layer Cake,” which served as one of Daniel Craig‘s first starring vehicles. The future James Bond star played a calm, cool and collected cocaine dealer known only as XXXX, which is the role that Statham would take over in the sequel.
“Viva La Madness” will see Statham’s anonymous hero trying to retire from a life of crime, but not before he runs up against London low-lifes and a Venezuelan drug cartel.
