It was announced just after we'd finished our mammoth list of upcoming sequels, yet nonetheless, the news of a third Crank film deserves a posting of its own anyway. We don't often get treats such as this popping up in our mailbox.

TheFilmStage has been talking to one of the film's co-writers and directors, Brian Taylor, to find out the state of a third Crank movie, and a fresh outing for Jason Statham's indestructible Chev Chelios. Taylor revealed, "They've approached us for it, but we wanna make another movie or two before that." He then teased that "We've already got a story for Crank 3."

When asked about when we could expect a third Crank movie, he said, "At some point when the money is there, when everyone wants to do it, and when Jason has got a whole in his schedule. I think there will be a Crank 3 someday and I think it will be 3D."

Don't expect it for a couple of years, but it seems that a third Crank is, therefore, very much on the horizon. Read more at TheFilmStage here.

(Incidentally, that noise you just heard was Den Of Geek's own Jason Statham fanatic, Mr Duncan Bowles, squeeling with glee. We can't take him anywhere....)
