Jason Statham in Death Race 2000 Remake
Written on April 23, 2007 by Vic Holtreman
Jason Statham has officially signed on to star in the upcoming remake Death Race 3000.
There is good news and bad news in regards to this. The good news is that I think Statham is perfect for this type of movie. I haven't heard what role he'll be playing, but my guess would be that he'll play the character called Frankenstein in the original movie (Death Race 2000).
Paul Anderson + Death Race 3000 = Just Shoot Me Now
Written on March 22, 2005 by Vic Holtreman
Oh, joy.
Some brilliant person has given Paul W.S. Anderson the green light to write and direct a remake of the B-movie classic Death Race 2000. Now Paul is the guy who brought us the [sarcasm on] wonderful [/sarcasm] Alien vs. Predator and such gems as Soldier and Event Horizon.
Now I'm not saying that Death Race 2000 is Citizen Kane, not by a longshot. It was a cheaply made, campy, violent Roger Corman flick, but it was fun, dammit. If there's one thing you can count on, it's that "3000" won't be. Oh, it'll probably try to be cool, edgy, gory (well, sorta, since they'll go for the PG-13 rating, guaranteed), but it won't succeed (unless you're 15 or so).
Sure, the guy's movies make money (but only if you include overseas box office), but how many properties are the studios going to let this guy trash?
Yeesh.
