CrankAs an unashamed fan of Jason Statham’s endless sub-par forays into the world of action cinema, I woke up this morning happy to be greeted by the news that the next Crank movie will indeed be a sequel and not - as rumoured - a prequel. Brian taylor and Mark Neveldine, the duo behind the writing and directing of the first film spoke to The Movie Blog: “There will be a sequel to Crank yes. Prepare to Crank again. And you know the ‘is it a sequel or prequel’ question… IT’S A SEQUEL. We’re not selling out and going prequel. We are picking up where the last movie left off.” I guess that pretty much spells it out for you. Needless to say, expect more gratuitous violence and tongue-in-cheek hi-jinks.
