Death Race
Say what you want, but this writer is a huge fan of Paul W.S. Anderson's Death Race franchise. With a surprisingly strong sequel/prequel released earlier this year and with production on Death Race: Inferno recently under way in South Africa, we checked in with Anderson (who helmed the first remake and has stayed on board the franchise ever since) during our recent Resident Evil: Retribution set visit to get his thoughts on this third installment and what the current status on the sequel is.
Those of you out there looking to get a gander at some of the vehicles on tap and ready to blow a copious amount of stuff up the the third entry into the now Death Race franchise are in luck! Get revved up, kids and just imagine what it would be like driving one of these puppies around!
The recent takes on the Roger Corman classic Death Race 2000 have ranged in quality from shitting on the sidewalk (whatever the hell that means) to pretty damned good. The first behind-the-scenes still from the new latest flick in the franchise, Death Race: Inferno, has just made its way online courtesy of writer Tony Giglio, and we have it for ya here!
If you had told me when Paul WS Anderson’s Death Race came out that it was destined to spawn a direct-to-DVD franchise, I would have rolled my eyes. Shows what I know. The Death Race franchise carries on with a third installment...and a familiar name in the director's chair.

Never mind all that ridiculous business about seeing who shits on the sidewalk! The original big daddy of them all, Death Race 2000, is getting set to hit DVD and Blu-ray in style; and we've got the lowdown on what to expect!
In case you didn't have enough of finding out exactly who shits on the sidewalk the first time out, the sequel to the remake of Death Race is now on its way from Universal.

"We'll see who shits on the sidewalk!"
Ready to get all revved up? Well, we've got your hot free ticket to the one film where every woman walks in seductive slow-motion!
Oh
Death Race (review) ... what could have been a smart remake with just enough high octane carnage to balance it all out got the Paul W.S. Anderson treatment. We all know how those things turn out.
I don’t know what it is about discussing a Paul W.S. Anderson movie, but for some reason it made us all really ... gay. The homosexual under and overtones in this Dinner for Fiends made us all take a long, hard look at our own sexuality. We found it disturbing.

Our man Andrew Kasch sat down with the cast and crew (even our favorite director, Paul W.S. Anderson) of Death Race in order to learn what we can expect from remake and why it was being remade in the first place.
The more I see of Paul Anderson's remake of Death Race 2000, more depressed I get. While we're all for more blood and carnage, this version of DR has no identity of its own. Everything from the cars down to the characters just feel generic. But at least there will be blood...
As I'm sure you can tell from the amount of stuff we've been posting lately, we have covered the hell out of Comic-Con 08. The best part? We're still not even close to done.
