Jason Statham sure knows how to pick his leading ladies.
Having just released a film starring Jennifer Lopez, the British hard man is now getting to steam things up alongside fellow Latin beauty Sofia Vergara.
On Thursday the pair were spotted in New Orleans, Louisiana, getting ready to film crime drama Heat.

The film is a remake of the 1986 Burt Reynolds film about a recovering gambling addict who finds work providing protection to his friends – not to be mistaken with the Robert De Niro film of the same name.
Following a similar story line, the new Heat sees Jason’s character Nick Escalante have to do odd jobs providing security in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Everything quickly escalates when his friend is brutally beaten, forcing him to take on the mob.
Jason looked ready to take on anyone on Tuesday wearing a pair of denim jeans and an aged denim shirt with brown boots.

Modern Family star Sofia is expected to leave her comedic skills behind in favour of showing her action movie muscle.
The Colombian born beauty already has another action film in the works, the blood thirsty sequel Machete Kills, playing alongside an all star cast which includes Mel Gibson, Danny Trejo, Amber Heard and Jessica Alba.
On Tuesday, the 40-year-old was doing a last minute run over of the script as she prepared to film with Jason.
Warning curves ahead: Showing off her amazing curves, the Modern Family star wore two different outfits on the New Orleans set
Showing off her amazing curves, the Modern Family star wore two different outfits on the New Orleans set.
First the mother of one – who has a 21-year-old son Manolo – wore figure flaunting flared jeans which were skin tight to the knee and then flared out.
The jeans’ hem had been let down, all but covering the star’s wedge heels. Sofia wore a white knit sweater with the trousers and her golden brown hair in soft curls.
The star had to make a quick change on set swapping her jeans for a white skirt, which ruffled above the knee.
She teamed the attire with a short sleeve purple knitted top which was accessorised with a waist belt drawing attention to her bountiful bosom.
Nice shoes: For comfort the 40-year-old walked around in fluffy pink slippers but when it was time for the director to yell ‘Action’ she slipped on some platform white pumps

The star looked very happy to be on set, smiling to herself as she walked around texting on her cell phone.
While Sofia’s character had not been officially named, she let it slip she will play D.D. – originally played by Deborah Rush – when she tweeted about filming.
‘Shooting Heat in New Orleans today. This is DD,’ she wrote.
