Jason Statham in Death Race

[terry78]

How in the hell do you get Joan Allen AND Ian McShane in something like this? Do you tell them it's an indie flick with a more subtle layer of depth and pathos before you bust out the machine gun laden cars?

Seen the trailer on Hulk this afternoon. Say what you will, but this looks like a fun action flick. We need more of this, people are too hung up on reality in movies anymore. MSome Boods, guns, and boom boom is always a great "take me away from this crushing depressing wad of rotton guts called my job/love life situation/ life sucking B.S." viewing.

You might as well watch the original then. You can get it for like $3 and it is a billion times more what you just said than this POS!

I've seem the original, it was a Roger Corman flick, and this elitist attitude is downright laughable. The original 30+ year old film was low budget late night cheese. Just because something is a Cult film doesn't make it f'ing Citizen Kane, Psycho, or Gone with the Wind.

The plot in the original was better. It was just crazy mayhem, this one's just "Win the race and you're free." Eh, stupid. Though the "they set me up" -twist might bring something interesting to the mix.

I'll still see this one. On DVDRip.

Paul W.S. Anderson Confirms David Carradine Cameo In ‘Death Race’ Remake

As much as I’m tempted to roll my eyes at anything Paul W.S. Anderson directs at least a small part of me is curious about what he’s cooking up for August with the release of “Death Race” (am I alone? The trailer wasn’t that bad).

True, Jason Statham’s track record as an action hero isn’t exactly flawless but “Death Race” was and remains a great concept. We’ll find out soon enough if this remake or re-imagining or whatever we’re calling these things this week turns out to be worth our while.

There’s been a lot of chatter among the loyal “Death Race” fanbase about all the changes being made in this new flick. Anderson addressed all the major points in this interview just the other day. Perhaps most interestingly he revealed to our own Shawn Adler that the one and only David Carradine will indeed be popping up in the film.

Said Anderson, “I wanted to tip my hat to the original, but also wouldn’t want it to become a cheesy cameo-fest. There’s obviously been, ‘Oh, where’s the David Carradine cameo?’ It’s there, and I think it’s a nice thing for fans. In fact, I had a conversation with David about the movie this morning.”

Statham playing the same role. This movie looks one dimensional. Here is the kicker...they tell you the entire story in the trailer and then show action...why do I need to go pay for this??? He gets set up, he goes to prison, and he is forced to death race to earn freedom.

 

[Warhammer]

I don't know. The point of seeing the film is seeing how good it's aspects (direction, script, acting, action, special effects, etc.) are. The Iron Man theatrical trailer gave away the entire story and showed action, but that didn't stop me from seeing it.

Downey >>>>>>>>> Statham

I have seen movies with cars modified and they fight to the death. Mad Max is good, this will be a renter.

You can also assume him and tyrese team up in the end, Tyrese wins his freedom and Statham proves his innocence. While they are walking away Jason says and I quote "pockets ain't empty cuz" Tyrese "Well i ain't hongray"

Did you write this movie good sir How do you know so much Poor Joan Allen. Hopefully Bourne will call her halfway through and she will go back to hunting him.

It looks cool, but also hilariously terrible.

When Statham is with the right director he can be pretty good, but why does he insist on starring in this self-promoting tripe?

I'm pretty sure I can wait until this is out on DVD before I think about seeing it. Could be a lot of fun (sure looks it), but I'm not really looking forward to it.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I'd watch it in theaters.

 

[GhostPoet]

Looks like a fun time to me...*shrugs*

 

[rogue trooper]

Awesome pictures!! Statham's mask looks great. This might not be bad. Might.

 

[Symbiotic]

I expect this to be a mindless but fun action flick. No more, no less. I'll consider it theater-worthy.

 

[rogue trooper]

It is confirmed that David Carradine has a cameo. I wonder if Stallone will have one.

 

[Drizzle]

I'm starting to hate seeing this trailer in theaters, because all three times I've seen it, this has happened:

During the last clip, where the guy goes "You can shoot me but you can't KILL ME!" just before getting pancaked by the car, there was always a smartass in the theater who thought he was a comedian by saying "Apparently they can" or "Guess not". They just completely ruined it.
