Can't imagine anyone but Daniel in a follow up though.
And I don't think it's a good idea either

some tweets regarding statham on Layer cake sequel
Friday ‏@FridayPfender 40m
Jason Statham is taking over Daniel Craig's role from LAYER CAKE for the sequel. I don't think I like that. Not at all.

That's a shame, he won't be as good as Craig
Nikki ‏@amantenicole 3h
But Daniel Craig is LAYER CAKE WHY JESUS WHY
Christine Elise ‏@ChristineeElise 3h
How could you even call this a sequel to #LayerCake without Daniel Craig? Of course, the ONE film I couldn't be more excited for..is ruined.

No sequel to Layer Cake. Jason Statham does not equal Daniel Craig. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/65052

This is making quite a fuzz....
best thing was the line "Jason Statham is the next Daniel Craig" in this article http://www.411mania.com/movies/news/303 ... Sequel.htm

I am sure, Daniel could have done it, if he had wanted. The offer of getting the rights obviously was out there and I am sure, he got it offered. But the problem I see is, its been 10 years and how would they explain the charater getting older, if its supposed to be a direct sequel? They could get away with it, if they chose a different actor.

IMDB
2004's Layer Cake was a breakthrough movie for Daniel Craig and director Matthew Vaughn. Now, almost a decade later, a sequel is in the works without them involved. Viva La Madness, which was published in 2012, continues the story of Layer Cake's unnamed protagonist, who now finds himself involved with Venezuelan drug cartels when looking for a beachy place to retire. Just as he did with Layer Cake, the book's author, J.J. Connolly, is writing the screenplay. And to replace Craig, Deadline reports Jason Statham has stepped up. It doesn't really matter if the character doesn't have a name, as basically all Jason Statham characters might as well just be named Jason Statham. »

ha I actually like Jason for what he is
A fighter & a hot dude (feel free to judge )
& so glad to see all these positive comments abt Dan .
Now he is in the position of being favourited over his replacement unlike in CR times lol everything is right in the world
Imo it will be just like other Jason movies. A very well choreographed action movies & Ill def go see it. Without Dan & Vaughn it wont be special at all

This news, if true, makes me feel ... I could do without another Jason Statham movie... and who on earth thinks he is a reasonable replacement for Daniel?? He's nowhere near the same league. Now that Daniel has gone into Bond and also maybe the 'Girl' movie franchise, I can see why he may not have wanted to revisit an old character. But Layer Cake is not Layer Cake without Daniel... and XXX was supposed to have been killed at the end of the last movie. Truly, I think its fucking ridiculous... and depressing...
Actually the end is open, we don't see him dead....and in the novel he survives the shooting and moves to Venezula.SmittenDramaKitten wrote:and XXX was supposed to have been killed at the end of the last movie. .....
Connolly always he wanted to write a sequel novel, it just took him ten years
I really enjoy a JS movie every now and then, you get exactly what you expect and I just can't see him in this kind of role.
