This cropped up yesterday, but let's just say it's taken me that long to process the uber weirdness here. The La Times posted some rather odd set photos from Crank 2: High Voltage that seem to depict a surreal sequence in which an exaggerated version of Chev Chelios, played by Jason Statham, and some other dude go at it amidst a gloomy landscape of tiny power lines - giving the characters a giant quality. However, the fact that there's even a sequel to the 2006 odd-ball actioner is bizarre enough (we announced it officially late last year); so, really, I guess this scene isn't that strange when you put it in context. And you have to admit, Statham's mask would make the bitchin'-est Halloween get-up. You can check out the full set of 19 photos over at the La Times site, which also shows directors (and masters of this madness) Mark ...

British actor Jason Statham has denied he is romancing George Clooney's ex-girlfriend Sarah Larson - insisting their recent dinner was not a date.

Clooney and Larson ended their year-long relationship in May and the cocktail waitress-turned-model sparked rumours she is dating Statham after they were pictured together in Las Vegas.

But the Transporter star insists that he has only met Larson once and it was not a romantic occasion.

He says, "I have met her. I was in Vegas with my friend and manager Steve Chasman last week and we were all at a big table. Next thing you know I'm jumping in and out of bed with her."

Our quick thoughts: Yahoo! Movies today premiered the first trailer for Paul W.S. Anderson’s upcoming action flick “Death Race,” which opens nationwide Aug. 22 and stars Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson and Joan Allen.

The story focuses on an ex-con (Statham) who’s forced to participate in a risky car race in which inmates must kill each other to snatch the victory. Joan Allen plays the tough warden who created the race.

Wild cars, hot chicks, and Statham doing what he always does… what else do you want? This first trailer includes some nice action moments, which is probably all there is to enjoy in the movie. Don’t count on a solid, captivating story. But if it’s fun to watch and not too monotonous, why not give it a shot?

Freaky quote: “What just happened?“ – Joan Allen

Head on over to Yahoo! Movies and you can take a peak at the trailer for Paul W.S. Anderson's Death Race, which hits theaters August 22 from Universal Pictures. Jason Statham leads the cast of an action-thriller set in the post-industrial wasteland of tomorrow, with the world's most brutal sporting event as its backdrop.

Allocine.fr just premiered the very first (and very short) teaser trailer for Olivier Megaton's upcoming sequel "Transporter 3," in which Jason Statham reprises his role as Frank Martin, the transporter who always ends up in trouble because of the unconventional packages he's asked to deliver.

The trailer was posted on a French movie Web site, so the tagline are in French as well, but if you're dying to know what they say, here it goes: "This time the rules are the same, except one."

By the way, don't you think this looks a little too much like "Crank," in which Statham also had to race against time to save his own life? Come on Luc Besson, I'm used to more original ideas from you.

"Transporter 3" should open nationwide sometime later this year. The film is currently in post-production. We'll post a trailer review as soon as a longer version goes live.

British model-turned-actress Kelly Brook has ended her four-year relationship with Hollywood heartthrob Billy Zane.

It is believed Brook ended the relationship in March after re-evaluating her life following her father's death last year.

Brook, 28, appeared in public without her engagement ring for the first time at Sunday night's Bafta TV awards.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "After much soul-searching, Kelly decided that Billy is not the man she wants to marry and has called off the engagement.

"The split is completely amicable and the decision was made after long conversations here and in the U.S. They remain good friends."

Brook met the Titanic star while filming castaway thriller Three in 2004. She had just split with Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels star Jason Statham, 40.

The couple had planned to wed in a romantic ceremony at their 600-year-old farmhouse in Kent, England.

A spokesman for Brook has confirmed the split.

British action man Jason Statham is set for another sequel - he'll reprise his fast-living and dying Chev Chelios character in Crank 2: High Voltage.

The Italian Job star played a hitman seeking an antidote to the poison villains injected into his system, giving him just hours to live, in the first Crank, which was a surprise hit in 2006.

Statham will reteam with Amy Smart and Dwight Yoakam in the sequel, which will also feature Bai Ling.

Filming begins next week (beg28Apr08) in Los Angeles.
