Welcome to another Weekend Movie News Wrap Up. In this week’s comedy filled line-up:

Zac Efron might be 17 Again but he’s also No.1 at the box office; Reese Witherspoon is Nice; Sean “Diddy” Combs goes Greek; Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning go Somwhere for Sofia Coppola; Felicity Jones is a woman in Ricky Gervais’ The Men At The Pru and Brotherhood‘s Blake Masters fires 2 Guns for Universal Pictures.

Box Office
Zac Efron is a movie star. The High School Musical star’s role in 17 Again helped the film make $24 million over the weekend. The body swap comedy also stars Friends‘ Matthew Perry as an older Efron. Poor guy - a decade ago he was headlining (mediocre) romantic comedies and now he’s supporting a tween star.

In second place was State of Play starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. Again about 10 years ago this would have opened at number one when the two stars were ...

Next we have Crank which is just Jason Statham on a yellow background. That’s it. This particular poster interestingly was first revealed through Lionsgate’s Twitter account.

I’m not excited for the Crank sequel and if I was, perhaps this poster would be pretty cool. I barely enjoyed the first one ...

Tony Stark To Star In Sequel: Crank 2

It’s official: Jason Statham is returning to work on a sequel to the ultra-high-energy romp Crank, however this time instead of needing to keep his heart pumping at a high rate, his heart will require recharging by electricity. If you’re not familiar with the story of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man), in the comics he wore a chestplate that required period recharging to keep him alive as well.

So I’m kidding about the Tony Stark thing… but that was the first thought that popped into my head when I read the description for Crank 2: High Voltage in which Statham’s character:

“…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.”

That’s outrageous ...
