With the New York Comic Con happening this weekend you can expect all manner of madness hitting this crazy thing called the Interwebs. Next up… Roger Corman returns to the Death Race 2000 world he created in 1975 with his own sequel Death Race 2050. Read on for details and the first one-sheet! Corman will show them who shits on the sidewalk!
Directed by G.J. Echternkamp from a screenplay he wrote with Matt Yamashita, Death Race 2050 stars Malcolm McDowell, Burt Grinstead, Marci Miller, Folake Olowofoyeku, Anessa Ramsey, Yancy Butler, and Charlie Farrell, with Manu Bennett in the lead as Frankenstein, a character originally played by David Carradine.
Look for the flick on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital HD sometime in 2017.
Synopsis:
In the not-too-distant future, America is controlled by an all-powerful corporate government that keeps the masses placated with violent virtual-reality entertainment. The event of the year is the Death Race, where a motley assortment of drivers compete in a cross-country road race, scoring points for running down pedestrians and killing each other. The reigning champion and popular favorite is half-man, half-machine Frankenstein — but little does he know he’s taken on a rebel spy as his co-pilot.
