Two new Hi-Res images for the upcoming Jason Statham/Clive Owen (I love that his character’s name is “Spike”) testosterone fest, The Killer Elite have surfaced, thanks to comingsoon.net.

In the first one we see Jason Statham looking all action adventure-y (not to mention hotly stubbled,) and in the second,  we get Robert De Niro as Statham’s mentor.

I’ve also included a couple of previously released images of De Niro. I like the one with the shades. He looks pretty good for someone about to turn 68.

Also, thanks to collider.com we have a new still of Jason Statham and Clive Owen grappling over me…I mean…oh hell I don’t care why they’re grappling. I’m just oddly glad that they are.

Dominic Purcell (“Prison Break”, Blade: Trinity) is also in this, because, ya know…there just wasn’t enough hotness in it before. (I’m aware sarcasm doesn’t work well in print, but I do it anyway.)  I’m hoping he’ll get to use his native British accent.

The plot revolves around a retired SAS man, Britain’s Elite Special Air Service, who is forced out of retirement when old comrades start being murdered.

Based on a novel by Ranulph Fiennes, the film, directed by Gary McKendry, also stars Yvonne Strahovski, Aden Young, Ben Mendelsohn, Lachy Hulme, Firass Dirani, Grant Bowler and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and opens in the US on 23 September 2011
