Reason? Publicity, of course. The intimidating, human-like balloon towered over the screening of Statham’s latest movie, “Mutiny,” in theaters Friday.

In the Lionsgate thriller, the Brit plays former Marine Cole Reed, who goes on a solo killing spree aboard a cargo ship after he’s framed for his billionaire boss’ murder. The twist: Our revenge-seeking hero soon uncovers a much more serious issue — an international human-trafficking conspiracy.

Invite to Vizcaya got lost in the mail? An additional screening is being held 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at AMC Sunset Place in South Miami. A rep told the Miami Herald that Statham is not expected there, nor is the inflatable, which has been busy of late.

The 30-foot-high blow-up figure, which features Statham looking menacing and wielding a weapon, has been traveling. The attention-grabber recently floated on London’s River Thames, as well as on the Hudson in New York City. The enormous custom floatie, made by Miami-based company IDG, is reportedly en route to Los Angeles for more promotional duties.

“Putting him larger than life on a shipping container was a great way to visualize that one-man-against-the-sea premise before anyone had seen the film,” said IDG on its website.
