Far be it for us to diss the movies, but with the likes of 24 and..erm…Relic Hunter…the small screen has long had more than it’s fair share of high-octane action. Fortunately for those of us who prefer Cinema’s unique buzz, Crank directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have decided to combine the two, pitching an hour-long drama to NBC this week.
Given the sheer lunacy the pair bought to the Stath-starring mechanical heart/synthetic drug explosion-a-thons, the series-tentatively titled Zeroes – has a lot to live up to, but the pair aren’t worried;
“We want to drop right into it and sustain the absolute most berserk state of crisis, when all of the options have been exhausted” says Taylor in the Hollywood Reporter.
What do you think-can the human brain take 26 episodes of berserk? Or should they stick to the DVD market?

Duck and cover, and for God’s sake don’t make any bald jokes as we look at the only dodgy cockney ever to trade up from Kelly Brook, and check out the best of The Stath!
