Another Crank??
Last year's exquisite action surprise CRANK was so outrageously over-the-top that it nearly broke atmosphere and went hurtling into the cosmos. How could filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor possibly exceed their debut's lunatic fusion of overkill?
Apparently they're gonna try anyway, as Variety says they "are in the early stages of a sequel" to the crazy Statham flick. That's literally the only information given about this potential follow-up (also at Lakeshore, who handled the original), so feel free to speculate about how another film could be approached. Will Statham's hyped-up hitman somehow return, despite the gratuitous abuse inflicted upon his person the first time? Or will the writing-directing duo present a brand new character forced to endure a series of adrenaline-fueled survival tactics?
Either way, consider my ticket already bought...Source: Variety
Extra Tidbit: The Directors Guild of America only allows one credited director per film, although this is waived for certain circumstances. Robert Rodriguez left the DGA after disputing this rule for SIN CITY, which he insisted on sharing credit with creator Frank Miller.

As for a sequel I dont know you cant bring back Statham? Can you? And without him I think it would suck.

The idea of a Crank 2 got me thinking; following the public sex scene when trying to escape from the warehouse, Amy Smart's character laments not having taken the ‘morning after pill’ but her attempt to take it fails as her handbag falls to the floor, spilling all its contents and due to the gunfight taking place she is unable to retrieve it. Soooooo, what if she got pregnant. And, as Chev’s body was chocka with drugs while he was pumping her, some of that Chinese Sh*t was passed on to her kid (it’s tenuous, but come with me) so he’s born with a constant need for adrenaline, but not in the terminally fatal way with Chev (kinda like how Blade is half vampire/half human but needs to inject himself with some homebrew stuff). Set it in the future, so that Statham can play his own son and BOOM! CRANK 2: CRANK HARDER.
Actually now that I write it down it sounds pretty dumb, but hey, I’m not a scriptwriter.
