Trivia: Originally, Jason Statham was interested in reprising his role as Frank Martin, when the film was intended to serve as the start of a prequel trilogy explaining how he became a "transporter." He opted out when the production requested he sign on for a three-film contract in which he would earn less money combined for all three films than he was then making for a single film on any other production. He was also expected to sign on to all three films without even seeing a script for the first installment. He opted out, concerned about the production quality given these strange circumstances, and the film was ultimately retooled from being a prequel to being a quasi-reboot in order to explain the change in Frank Martin's appearance.
Trivia: When Luther is trying to find Ilsa Faust on his laptop, the date of birth on her MI6 file is October 19, 1983. This is the same date of birth as the actress, Rebecca Ferguson, who plays Ilsa in the movie. (01:00:52)
Trivia: New Line Cinema had tried to re-work this film into a sequel to David Fincher's "Se7en" for some time, but nobody involved in the making of that film wanted to work on a sequel - especially one with a supernatural element. It was eventually made under its original title and without any connection to the Fincher film.
