Death Race With Jason Statham in August 2008

Director Paul W.S. Anderson is working on Death Race. It is actually a remake of Death Race 2000, a 1975 film that starred Sylvester Stallone.

Jason Statham will have the lead role in the new Death Race movie.

The film should be released in August 2008.

Here below a first look at Death Race. It features Jason Statham driving a hyper-boosted race car:

The Plot:
In a future America, prison inmates are forced to compete against each other in a driving arena. The prison warden (Joan Allen) coerces a prisoner with only weeks before his release (Jason Statham) into becoming a driver. The prisoner becomes a crowd favorite known as Frankenstein.

I'm glad to know Jason Statham will star in this remake. With movies like the Transporter or the Bank Job Jason Statham has proved that he is a great actor!
