Yep, it’s happening, folks!  Straight from the horse’s mouth…..

“By the way, Crank 3 is going to happen, the studios are really excited about it – it’s just all about timing.”

Thank God!  This week is turning out to be an action fan’s wet dream.  Moving on, here’s what Mark Neveldine had to say about continuing off of Crank 2‘s ending…

“That alone, we have 20 ways to tackle it. You know, with Crank, basically, you insert another quarter and you play the game again. It’s kind of like what thrills me and Brian, it’s whatever we feel like doing there in the moment, whatever we wanna do, we just do and make it happen. The important thing is what powers Chev. It was adrenaline that kept him alive in the first one, it was electricity in the second one, you know, it’s all about what will keep him alive in the third one. It’s just fun slinging those ideas around.”

So there you have it!  Crank 3 is officially moving towards the starting line and Statham will return.  Also, from the sound of other comments made at the link below, Idris Elba might be joining in on the fun this time!
