Jason Statham to play assassin in ‘The Killer's Game' after ‘Fast and Furious’ spinoff: report

Jason Statham

Jason Statham is starting to challenge Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the busiest man in Hollywood.

With his mega-monster shark film The Meg coming up in August and a Hobbs and Shaw spinoff with Johnson on the horizon, Statham just keeps on adding projects.

Statham already is set to return for the sequel Spy 2 with Melissa McCarthy. He's developing a Hong Kong action thriller with STX Entertainment. Now, he has another badass role on the horizon: veteran hitman.

Statham is circling the lead role in The Killer’s Game, with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage director D.J. Caruso behind the camera, according to an exclusive in The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is based on Jay Bonansinga’s novel, and follows “a veteran assassin who is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and takes a hit out on himself to avoid the pain that is destined to follow. After ordering the kill, he finds out that he was misdiagnosed—and must then fend off the army of former colleagues trying to kill him.”

The script has been floating around Hollywood for years, with stars like Michael Keaton and Wesley Snipes having been attached to it in the past.

Assassins trying to kill another assassin gives the story some undeniable John Wick vibes, which should make Killer's Game an action-fest with Statham smack-dab in the middle of it. 

The Meg is set for release on August 10, 2018.

The Hobbs and Shaw spinoff from the Fast and Furious franchise will be released on July 26, 2019.

For instance, as soon as a couple learns they're having a boy, they might find themselves grappling with the  decision to circumcise—or not . It's an individual, personal decision for every family. Thankfully, when parents opt in, most circumcisions go off without a hitch. However, a shocking story out of Egypt highlights one instance in which the routine procedure went terribly awry. A father from Cairo is speaking out after his son's  penis had to be amputated following a botched circumcision . The Jerusalem Post  reported that the father named Ashraf Helmi says he took his child to Cairo to be vaccinated and was convinced by his sister-in-law and a family friend to have his  1-month-old son Mohamed circumcised during the same doctor's visit. According to  Me...

Reduce Acid-Forming Proteins to Protect Kidney Function

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem affecting about one in eight Americans, increasing the risks of disease and death even among those with only mild decreases in kidney function. Low-cost, low-risk preventive strategies that anyone can do are needed to address the epidemic of kidney disease. I discuss some of these in my video Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function . Diet plays a role in kidney function decline. “Specifically, diets higher in animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol” may be associated with protein leakage into the urine, which is a sign of kidney damage, and, generally, “diets higher in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, but lower in meat and sweets, may be protective” against kidney function decline. In comparison to the diet eaten by our ancient ancestors, not only are we eating more saturated fat, sugar, and salt, we now also eat an acid-producing diet, as opposed to a base-producing, or alkaline, diet. Ancestral human diet...
