Crank Re-Cranked

By Josh Tyler: 2007-04-28 03:35:09
Crank Re-Cranked Jason Statham’s last movie Crank didn’t do big business at the box office, but apparently it did enough to warrant a sequel. John over at The Movie Blog spoke to Crank co-writers and co-directors Brian Taylor and Mark Nevedine who say they’re doing another.

It probably helps that the first one was made relatively cheaply. It only made $43 million worldwide, but it only cost $12 million. Somebody made a nice profit. But was it profitable enough to bring Jason Statham back? It’s not like he’ll do the sequel on the cheap in hopes of winning an Oscar. Well, there’s no word on that yet, or for that matter any word on what the sequel will be about.

What kind of a sequel are we talking about here? Is this White Noise 2 where they take some other completely unrelated concept with completely different characters and slap the White Noise name on it to sell it or is this another story about the same characters in related or similar circumstances? I don’t know about you, but with the recent deluge of junk sequels to lower budget movies like this, I’ll need answers before I get interested in Cranking back up again.
