CRANK 3: A POSSIBILITY? A WHOLE NEW UNIVERSE?

Adrenaline-junkie. Shocks. Guns. Violence.

Not only does the co-director of Crank want Crank 3, starring Jason Statham.

He wants an entire Crank Cinematic Universe.

Crank, oh what  film. A mighty five-stars on  Jason Statham’s CV. And whilst Crank 2 was far patchier, it nonetheless had a great tagline, and a terrific bit in it we’ve no intention of spoiling.

 The co-director of the film, Brian Tyler (who made the movie alongside Mark Neveldine), is doing promotion for his new movie, the deliriously nutty Mom & Dad, starring Nicolas Cage. And rightly, interviewers have been asking the key question: where the hell is Crank 3?

Damaged by the poor box office for the second film is the obvious answer. But Tyler is clearly keen for more.

Tyler teased in an online interview, a way that few filmmakers have, by suggesting that a Crank cinematic universe would be an idea.

“I don’t know if it’s going to be Jason Statham in a wheelchair, 40 years from now. I think there should be a Crank cinematic universe. Not just one movie. So who knows? There’s nothing in the works right now. But you never know. Me and [co-director] Mark are brothers for life”.

The Statham is keen.

The directors are keen.

Just tell us where to send our money.
