Some new casting news for Crank 2 today, with Asian actress Bai Ling and Clifton Collins Jr. signing on to the sequel along with Dwight Yoakam and Efren Ramirez who are both back reprising their roles. Amy Smart will also be back along with Jason Statham who will once again suit up as Chet Chelios. No word on who Ling will play, but Collins Jr. will be one of the new villains.

[quote:3rxyabvh]In “Crank 2,” Chelios faces a 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.

Filming on Crank 2 begins on April 28, with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor back behind the camera.[/quote:3rxyabvh]

“There will be a sequel to Crank yes. Prepare to Crank again. And you know the “is it a sequel or prequel” question… IT’S A SEQUEL. We’re not selling out and going prequel. We are picking up where the last movie left off.”

"Chet" Chelios? It was Chev Chelios. Way to fact check, article writer.

SPOILER?



















A lot of people survive falling from planes without parachutes, but it's usually an 80 year old.

If they make it just like the original, then its going to be kick-your-ass awesome

I have never, in my life, laughed so hard at an action movie before I saw Crank. Holy shit, it was non-stop laughter coupled with some badass moments to boot. That's a winning formula they have going on; its like 2 shots of action, a shot of non-stop cursing, and a shot of meaningless sex and violence topped with the most ridiculous plot you can come up with.

I haven't seen the Bank Job movie he did, but I will definitely end up seeing this one. 8)

Normally I'd say this is the most retarded idea for a movie ever. A guy falls out of a plane, bounces off a car, gets up, and walks away? Shitsux, GTFO, etc.

From Crank, it totally makes sense. I'm really excited for this movie, the first one was hilarious(intentionally?) and I'll definitely go see this one.

I always thought it was chet also 0.o always sounded like it.


And I liked the first one. Will be interesting to see how the manage to keep him alive after falling from a helicopter...

I too liked the first one ._.

Bank Job was good, but I'm a bias opinion because I have a mancrush on Jason Statham (not strong enough to get me to watch a movie directed by Uwe Boll though).

Crank was one of those movies that you shouldn't take seriously at all, though. It was an action movie but I think it was made with the intention of doing everything an action movie does, only exaggerate it tenfold into hilarious ridiculousness. Hope Crank 2 is just as good.

I too liked the first one ._.

Crank was the movie where Statham fucked Amy Smart in public right? Movie was hilarious and that scene in particular stuck with me as awesome.

Sequel is completely ridiculous but money is money.

[Kurp]

I'm already sold on this.

[archibaldcrane]

I hope this one has a villain that I spend the entire film trying to figure out if he's Asian or Hispanic, like the last one.

Polynesian!???

The first one delivered, but I wasn't pleased with the ending.

[TacoTaru]

Needs more Uwe Boll. Then I'd see it.

I just need to know how the hell they're gonna pull this off.. but I don't wanna overthink it.

If it's as comedic as the first one though.. it'll be good.
