Title: CRANK 2

CAST: Jason Statham, Amy Smart

EXEC PROD: David Rubin; PROD, Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi, Skip Williamson, Richard Wright; DIR/SCR, Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor. Contract: SAG. Shoot Dates: April 28, 2008 (in Los Angeles, CA).

STORY: In spite of having fallen a mile from a helicopter at the end of CRANK, Chev Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.

Little Chev: 6-10, Caucasian, Male. A tough fowl mouthed British kid with a cockney accent. He is Chev (Jason Statham) seen in 1988, a bored, restless, troublemaker whose mother fears he is a sociopath. Seen on a Jerry Springer-ish UK talk show, he relives some of the incidents in his crowded young life -- all of which seem to involve crime, violence and running.

ACTORS SUBMITTED MUST RESEMBLE JASON STATHAM

Talk Show Host: 30s-40s, Male. British. Cool but campy. The host of a trashy UK talk show, he's an aspiring Jerry Springer
wannabe who interviews Karen Chelios and her "troubled" son Chev. Blissfully unaware that Little Chev's life is remarkably similiar to an ultra-violent videogame, Talk Host chats earnestly with Chev, probing for the psychological source of his hyperactivity

Female Psychiatrist: 40s, an attractive female psychiatrist. She is Dr. Ankleson's blunt, somewhat irritable therapist. Clearly bored with his cringing yellow streak, she orders him off her couch and back to reality, a piece of bad, bad advice

Hu Dong: Chinese Male, 100 years old, this aged gangster is the leader of the Triad gang in Southern California. Rejuvenated after getting Chev's high-powered heart transplanted into his sunken chest, and horny as a 16 year old, he is lured into Doc Miles' clutches by the seductive Vanilla

Karen Chelios: Female. British accent. She is seen in flashbacks, this English woman with dark hair, and dark circles under her eyes is Little Chev's trashily dressed mother. Appearing on a tabloid talk show in the UK, she frets that her little demon of a son may in fact be a sociopath

Pepper: 20s, any ethnicity. This stripper is in the back seat of a patrol car when Chev and Eve steal the car. She's aroused by Eve's presence and gives Chev a tip about Johnny Vang's probable whereabouts. MUST BE OKAY WITH NUDITY

Fish Halman: This veteran anchorman is seen on television, reporting on yet another explosive day in Los Angeles

Chinese Doctors #1 & Chinese Doctors #2: A pair of Chinese doctors, they perform a heart transplant operation on Chev, replacing his own beating ticker with an artificial heart. Wrongly convinced that Chev is too doped up to cause any trouble, they're ready to harvest his testicles when Chev comes to and chokes them out. MUST SPEAK CHINESE

Glenda Lansing: 65 plus, an old lady. The older the better. We first see her at the racetrack, she is assaulted by Chev, who rubs himself against her to get some static electricity into his system. She later, delightedly and profanely,relives the moment on live TV

Detective: Older Male. Would love a notable actor here in a cameo. This baffled police detective tries to find out the bond that links Eve to Chev, and summarizes Chev's remarkable criminal career.
