Stop. Collaborate. Listen.

Remember the movie Crank? UK actor Jason Statham (be still, hearts of girls everywhere) is injected with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops, so he goes throughout the movie like he has an IV of adrenaline? I think I saw parts of it and it was mildly entertaining. Apparently they're making a sequel, according to the SpoilerTV blog. The good folks posted a casting notice for this sequel, as well as the bare essentials about the plot.

In spite of having fallen a mile from a helicopter at the end of CRANK, Chev Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.

Wow. How interesting. Remind me to consider seeing this when it hits the shelves. At least my dream girl Amy Smart will be in it, too.

Then again, after careful consideration, I think I would want to see this. Statham is one of my favorite action movie stars. I faithfully followed his portrayal of Frank Martin in the Transporter and Transporter 2, and eagerly await the third, though I know it will be worse than the first two combined. I even dug his roles in the Italian Job and Snatch and even saw the One (which was a total mistake in and of itself). I may end up seeing a Crank sequel come theatre-release time, which wouldn't be for a while anyway.

How 'bout you?
