Jason Statham is the latest movie star making the jump to the small screen. Gaumont International Television announced Thursday that the “Transporter” star will headline drama series “Viva La Madness,” based on the novel by J.J. Connolly. The drama does not yet have a distribution or network partner. Statham will play the anonymous hero of the story, who is stranded in the Caribbean itching for the criminal life he left behind — but he’s still a wanted man back home. Soon he joins forces with two robust London gangsters: the menacing Sonny King and his paranoid partner Roy “Twitchy” Burns.
