Jason Statham is Cranked

Posted on August 29, 2006

Ok, once we saw this picture, we knew that Jason Statham's new film Crank would be a must-see. Jason, on the run and killing bad guys in a hospital gown -- well, it just doesn't get any more ridiculous than that. We love it.

There is also a lot of running involved, non-stop running. There is so much running that a cameraman had to follow Statham on roller skates to keep up.

Statham told Arizona Centeral, "It's kind of a comedy in a way, and I like the fact that the violence is undiluted. "t's an aggressive film and it might be a bit squeamish for some people. I guess you can't please everybody all of the time. But I know that there are some people that will get a kick out of it. That's the good thing about making movies."

Statham also says he drank Red Bull to prepare for his action scenes. He wanted to switch to water after drinking for of them, which is understandable.

Red Bull and a hospital gown. Works for us. So when is Transporter 3 coming out, anyway?

Crank is written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. It opens nationwide on September 1, 2006.
