By writer heavy weight (or rather, not )... okay lets try very competant director, talentless writer Paul W.S. Anderson.
Lets hope its better than his shitty AvP and Resident Evil efforts
- DEATH RACE: Paul W.S. Anderson's remake is heating up as offers are being made to Glenn Close to play the part of the warden, according to a scooper over at the Latino Review web site. In addition, Lawrence Fishburne is up for the coach & Djimon Hounsou is up for the main rival role which was once played by Sylvester Stallone. Jason Statham was reported as in talks by the same website a few weeks back, which was confirmed by the trades. These rumors sounds pretty solid. The film is a remake, which was a no-holds-barred, ultraviolent car race, set in 2020. (thanks to Bloody-Disgusting.com)
