Crank co-director is down for Crank 3, but only if it's "exponentially more fucked up"
For those not yet initiated into the cult of Chev Chelios, the Crank series—thus far consisting of 2006's Crank and 2009's Crank: High Voltage—is a series of totally batshit action films with no regard for such petty concerns as “reality” and “the laws of physics.” Jason Statham stars as Chev, a hitman and literal adrenaline junkie who rampages through a cartoonish criminal underworld like some kind of meth-fueled, ultraviolent Bugs Bunny as he tries to figure out who poisoned him with a substance that forces him to keep his adrenaline flowing at all times—or give himself electric shocks, in the case of the sequel—in order to stay alive. Think the John Wick universe by way of Gremlins 2. They’re really, really fun.
