For those of you who listened to the live Uncut episode earlier today, or listened to the show below, this will be old news. But for the rest of you, this will be pretty cool:
Earlier today I had Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine (Writers and Directors of Crank and Writers and Producers of the upcoming “Pathology” which starts filming next week) and one of the listeners asked if there was going to be another Crank movie. Brian answered straight up:
“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.”
Now if you’re like me… 1) You’re thrilled to hear this news. But also 2) you’re stretching your head a little bit trying to figure out how the hell they can do a direct sequel right where the first one left off (if you saw Crank, you know what I’m talking about). I decided not to push them on it… because it was already very cool of them to dish that much (and they probably wouldn’t have told me even if I asked).
So there you have it folks. Right from the horses mouth. There is going to be a Crank 2… and it is going to be a sequel right where the first film left off. I’d love to hear your theories on how they’re going to pull that off.
