A sequel to Jason Statham’s adrenaline junky movie Crank was being talked about earlier this year, and now it looks like it’ll happen. Variety says that Jason Statham will be back and kicking people in the head for the sequel. They’re calling it Crank 2: High Voltage instead of the much more logical title I suggested: Crank 2: Still Crankin.

The original film starred Statham as an assassin injected with a poison which would kill him if his heart-rate dropped. It was kind of like Speed, but on foot. In Still Crankin, Statham’s Chev Chelios character is stuck in an unbelievably similar situation. This time a Chinese mobster steals his heart and replaces it with a battery-powered heart which requires regular jolts of electricity to continue functioning. I don’t know if the movie will be any good, but I look forward to watching Jason Statham electrocute himself repeatedly. Payback’s a bitch Jason, you never should have made that awful piece of crap The Transporter.
