Crank 2: High Voltage

[kane9321]

wonder how they gonna pull this off.

Spoiler

well when he did hit the pavement he opened his eyes

Him surviving is cool. Having his heart replaced where he needs to charge it all the time is just a cheap trick to set up a bunch of gimmick shots on how he charges it. Electricity doesn't just effect your heart. LOL

 

[Sebastos]

The sequel sounds like it's going to be awesome.

 

[omid17]

^ agreed

He's not given a normal heart, it's a heart that needs electricity to keep it going, and it will be the **** to watch how he charges himself yo.

Maybe there's just so much adrenaline pumping in his body that he just survives the fall. Woman lifts car to save baby due to adrenaline. I think it may be possible...

But is anyone stupid enough to attempt to find logic in Hollywood anymore?

Apparently his heart is indestructible.

Why do a lot of you feel the film is grounded in reality when the movie was all kinds of f**ked up when Statham starts talking to the guy in the elevator right up to the end.

My "hollywood source" just told me how he comes back:

Spoiler

He's a descendant of the Frankenstein monster.

A Few Tidbits about Crank 2
Source: Edward Douglas
November 14, 2007

ComingSoon.net was just down in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we got to spend some time on the set of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's follow-up to the 2006 action hit Crank, their second movie being a sci-fi action thriller starring Gerard Butler that has been using the working title of Game. (We'll have lots more on the movie soon!)

While there, we had a chance to talk to Lakeshore Entertainment producers Robert Burke and David Rubin, and the latter answered a few questions about the impending sequel to Crank that Neveldine and Taylor will start prepping shortly after finishing the filming of their current project. The script has been finished for some time, and since the story takes place in L.A., they'd like to shoot back in L.A. in April.

(Note: The next paragraph contains a spoiler for Crank so if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and stop reading about its sequel. Instead, go buy or rent it on DVD before reading on.)

The big question on everyone's mind is how they're going to deal with continuing the story of Jason Statham's character Chev Chelios, who (2nd spoiler warning!) died at the end of the first movie. "It's cool. That's the central question and the way they've answered it is really exciting and fun," Rubin told us in between takes of an intense action sequence, "It's really funny and really clever. I remember when we made 'Crank' how we were shooting the scene where he died, and we all laughed because 'there would never be a sequel to this movie.' Those guys are just so unique and their vision is just so specific to them that if you are excited about their vision than you'll love the way they solve and answer that question." He also debunked the early rumors that Chev has a "robotic heart." "That was a real stretch," he chuckled.

When asked about other rumors that people who died in the first movie might be back, Rubin would only respond quizzically with, "You never know with those guys. Are they really alive or are they not? And are they those people or are they related to them?"

There could be some new actors joining for the sequel as well. "We have a lot of ideas right now about 'Crank 2' and a lot of really exciting stuff that the fans are really going to dig, and it's just about the process of fantastic idea elimination," Rubin continued. "Neveldine-Taylor like to start with a lot of ideas and they're constantly exploring them and taking them to their fullest potential and then seeing which ones are going to live. We're still processing all the ideas for this movie, and with 'Crank 2' it's the same. The great thing with Neveldine-Taylor is the smallest idea they might have some times that we think is not really that prominent, can sometimes blossom into this huge thing. We're still with this movie discovering all those things and working them out, and 'Crank 2', those guys are making a lot of notes and the ideas are still percolating. The script is great but it's interesting because there's Neveldine-Taylor as a writing team and there's Neveldine-Taylor the directing team and the transformation happens when we're actually in our office prepping the movie and when they become the directors of the movie, the ideas just transform and have a life of their own."

Neveldine and Taylor's current movie, The Untitled Gerard Butler Action Thriller just started shooting but they're probably shooting for late '08 for release and it should have a title by then. In the meantime, look for a write-up on our set visit sometime in the next few days.

 

[Sebastos]

Awesome, thanks for the information Hunter.

 

[Rez]

So perhaps he doesn't need electricity? Seems like that would be required for a robotic heart.

 

[Noir]

Robo-heart Damnit.

 

[LeChuck]

I think they're going to keep a wrap on this and game, cause we can all allready predict that there's going to be some pretty crazy scenes in both of them...Crank came out of nowhere, I don't think they'll be able to deliver that effect again.

 

[Noir]

idk, Crank 2 has the possibility to blow our ****ing heads off. Maybe Chev will time travel back and fight off adreniline fueled Dinosaurs then jump back to the future before being sucked into the past, punching Hitler and ****ing Ava Braun while a bunch of Japanese hotties watch and join in. After this, he's going to single handedly win WWII and fight off a bunch of alien invaders in the Jungles of Vietnam.

thanks for the news HR

I thought the first one was absolutely brilliant. One of the most fun movies I've ever seen. If this one looks good, I'll watch it.

 

[SWAT]

Add Thomas Jane and you'd have an badass overload!

 

[Gilpesh]

Add Thomas Jane and you'd have an badass overload!

I just want my family back!

 

[PhotoJones]

How is making a prequel "selling out."

 

[Brian Braddock]

Chev's ***** probably broke the fall.

Anyways, logic wasnt entirely necessary for the 1st film so I don't see why the 2nd should be any different.

Crank literally is a film where anything could happen and you just sort of accepted it. It's that very refreshing quality that I admired and look forward to experiencing it again.

You literally don't know what you're gonna get for the next 2 hours. It's not often, in this day and age, that we can say that as we walk into the cinema.

I expect some mad $hit in the sequal.

 

[rizzo51]

i'll be there for sure.

 

[Sebastos]

Cool pics.

 

[DIRECTOR]

I think Jason doesn't die at the end, we see him blink once and his heart is still beating at the end

 

[porchmonkey408]

THANK YOU BAADSHAH2!

Holy crap. He so did not die.

Unbelievable, sure, but its a movie. Who says it has to be grounded in any sort of reality?

Dude, that would be the single greatest ****ing movie in the history of the world. You better be the goddamned writers in disguise, just throwing out some of your ideas on message boards during the strike. Make it happen.
