Pair Crank it up with new crisis drama for NBC

Certainly something to give this week an extra kick is the news that Crank writer/director pairing Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are moving their special blend of masochistic madness to the small screen, having put together a show called Zeroes for NBC.

Zeroes, set to be a one-hour show, will be (not to break from the boys' norm) a high-intensity drama chronicling the last hour of a crisis situation.

Detailing their decision process, Taylor said their telly outing would be "a crisis show that doesn't bore you with all of the buildup leading to the crisis. We want to drop right into it and sustain the absolute most berserk state of crisis, when all of the options have been exhausted. We want to take that last 60 minutes and sustain it for the entire show."

And the Taylor-Neveldine duo is no stranger to sustained beserk-dom, with their most recent movie Gamer putting Scottish hard-man Gerard Butler through the mill as a renegade soldier who is controlled by a teenager as part of a real-life videogame. And lest we forget their capacity to put The Stathe to the test in their Crank franchise - which has seen him tear around LA electrocuting himself and having sex in front of crowds to keep his heart ticking over.

Zeroes will follow a fictional team of guys called in to situations at the last knockings who are, according to Taylor "absolutely ruthless" in their use of force.

So who is a Zero in your eyes? And could The Stathe be paying a visit once he's all done being Expendable ?
