Just a small update here, but an update is an update is an update.

During one of Reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” sessions, gleefully insane director Brian Taylor (GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE) was asked about the possibility of a CRANK 3.  Though Taylor has just been hired to develop and direct a TWISTED METAL movie by himself, presumably he would team up once more with his other half (Mark Neveldine) if and when CRANK 3 were to really happen.  And so, here’s what he had to say on the subject (you can click here to read the rest of the session):
