We’ve seen his heart, we’ve seen his nipples, we’ve even seen him pork his girlfriend in the middle of a shopping mall to a standing ovation. And now we get to see Jason Statham’s bloody ludicrous hitman Chev Chelios..in 3D!!
Fuck yeah.
Speaking to the slightly more respectable dudes over at TheFilmStage, Crank Co-Writer and Director Brian Taylor spilled the beans on the further adventures of The Stath’s mechanical heart/jacked-up-on “Chinese Shit” indestructidude: “I already have a storyline in place for Crank 3 – I think it’ll be in 3D”.
What peril remains to trouble a man who survived falling 10,000 feet from a helicopter? More importantly, what strategic McGuffins will be dropped to keep the baldy hard-man functioning this time round? Being 3D, we’re betting on fireworks and/or long, pointy objects.
News from our friends over at Electricspectre of something that might just -just-make the Star Wars prequel trilogy palatable: 3D!
FUN FACT: Did you know that in Phantom Menace most of the shots of Yoda were a puppet? Don’t worry though, those shots were re-done in CG for the new trilogy re-release. Yup.
On an unrelated note, Star Wars fans must once again brace for impact, as according to an interview with Access Hollywood (and received by ‘leccyspectre via Pocket Lint) Lucas has been inspired by Avatar to give Star Wars a three dimensional make-over.
“We’ve been looking for years and years and years of trying to take ‘Star Wars’ and put it in 3-D,” George explained to Access. “But, [the] technology hasn’t been there. We’ve been struggling with it, but I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen.”
Star Wars in 3D would be pretty sweet. However, many fans will be concerned that Lucas decides to do a little bit of extra tampering “whilst we’re here, y’know” and gives Boba Fett a supersoaker or something.
Thoughts?
Studios have a hard-on for that non-pirateable third dimension right now, so it’s only right that the mac daddy of merchandising gets the treatment, and if beirdy overlord Lucas says it-it’s the law – STS is looking forward to ducking flying Gungans soon…
Hi! I’m James Cameron, but you can call me Big Jimbo. You may remember me from such movies as Piranha II. I’d like to tell you about the dangers of climate change..and..erm..the plight of the Native American..or something..and I’d like to do t through the medium of animated nuclear explosions! Fuck Yeah!
