Amy Smart just gave away everything about "Crank 2"! "It takes place three months after [Jason Statham's character] falls out of the helicopter. He lives. Uh oh. I gave it away!" she laughed on a press stop at Comic-Con promoting her new horror flick, "Mirrors".

Alright, so we all knew Jason and Amy were coming back even if the first "Crank" ended with a seemingly impossible to follow finale. But who cares about Jason's character when you're talking to the lovely Ms. Smart? Apparently the months since the first one took place have seen her character undergo some lifestyle changes.

We told you yesterday about Jason Statham's confirmation that he's not in "G.I. Joe." Well now we can tell you about films that he is in. So get your motor running, because "Crank 2” is on the way and it's "effing ridiculous," Statham told MTV News, while also filling us in on the prospects for a third installment of the guilty-pleasure "Transporter" series.

As for "Crank," ridiculous is right, since, if I remember correctly, the first "Crank" ended with Statham's character falling out of a helicopter, bouncing on the pavement, and coming to a rest, dead, in the middle of the street. And even if he somehow survived the fall hadn't he been, well, poisoned?

But in an interview with Empire Online two weeks ago, "Crank" co-directors Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine insisted that they found a way, promising that the flick would be "more sexual, more violent - more of everything."

For his part, Statham says he's just happy to be along for the ride. "If you thought the first one was crazy, this is ridiculous. It's mad," he enthused. "I couldn't resist working with those chaps again. It gives me a chance to go wild in the aisles." Read more...
