Statham is confirmed for 'Crank' sequel

'Crank'

Jason Statham has signed up to make a sequel to his 2006 thriller, Crank.

The actor will reprise his role as hitman Chev Chelios for Crank 2: High Voltage, and will this time go after a Chinese mob man who replaces his almost indestructible heart with a battery-powered ticker that requires electricity jolts to run.

Writer/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor will also be back on board for the second movie, while Lionsgate will again distribute it.

The first Crank film cost £6 million to produce and grossed £22 million at the box office.
