Images From Paul W.S. Anderson's DEATH RACE Remake Hit The Nets!!
Merrick here...
JoBlo has posted images of DEATH RACE, Paul W.S. Anderson's reimagining of DEATH CARE 2000.
When I saw Statham's car here...
...the first thing that jumped to mind were the wheels in the mighty obscure KNIGHT RIDER 2010.
And then I remembered SPY HUNTER, and then...
See all of the DEATH RACE images HERE!

Is that the final chapter of the Daddy Day Care saga? THAT's a movie I'd love to see!
-
I don't have to.
-
They'll probably correct that in a minute, but I'll verify that, yes, the film was referred to as "Death Care 2000". Which made me laugh.
-
It's about a family who runs a funeral home in the year 2000. And they care.
-
I almost forgot that was a real movie.............
-
A high-pulse thriller about the sexy young staff at the local Hope Hospice
-
Please start using it.
-
Seriously? He fucking ruined Alien, sucked the potential out of Resident Evil (this could have been great), and is a general blight to celluloid.
-
Are you saying your spellcheck doesn't include the word "care"?
-
when i was 10, with a MASK car and some GI Joe guns.holds up pretty well, if you ask me.
-
why not make a movie?
-
This could be the most rock'n gore fest ever!
-
i wondered where that went the first time i typed it.
-
Death Ship was the pinnacle of the great George Kenndey's career. Even better than Demoniod. Come on, let's all chant the name, and maybe we can get Tim Story to direct the remake. DEATH SHIP! DEATH SHIP! DEATH SHIP!!!!
-
AVP did raped my childhood and all. But for some reason this seems right for Mr. P.T. Magnolia Anderson. I really think its funny that he took the T. out of his name because too many people were asking him to explain the falling frogs, when I bet he's never even seen Magnolia or he did and didn't understand a second of it. But whatever we can assult this guys intellegence all we want, but lets face it a lot of our anger for the man is due to jealousy. I wish I could be a movie director and if I was I would've wished that someone gave me the chance to play with Aliens and Predators. But since I am just a Magnoliafan I can only bitch. I just hope Paul will stay away from video games and just redo old cheesy movies, but for some reason I feel like if anyone makes a GTA game it may be this guy.
-
Are you drunk?
-
seriously, are you drunk?
-
Death Ship! I was a kid the last time I saw that. That's the one with Hitler's ghost or something, right? And there's a scene where blood starts running out of the shower? Scared the piss out of me. Nightmares for weeks. Good movie.
-
LMAOOOOOOOOO
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
Keep that guy off the camera ffs! And stop whining about Michael Bay --- Paul is waaaaaay worse!
-
on that Mustang look like cardboard or foamcore? Oh yeah, its a PWSA production.
-
...and damn you to hell, you annoying kid!!!You obviously don't have a clue who's the worst of these two hack directors...
-
Burn in Hell those who make original movies!
-
Totally off topic, but talking about nautical horror films like Death Ship (which was itself off topic) made me think of a film (or possibly TV movie or even a TV show) I saw as a very young kid that I can just remember a single two second scene from. It was set on some kind of ship or oilrig or somesuch and had a guy turning round and seeing a monster from the deep of some sort standing there, like a humanoid shape made of seaweed or somethng, though possibly reddish rather than green. Yeah it's not much to go on but can anyone help? It's bugged me for years. It's probably something really famous and I'll look even more of an idiot than normal. Even some possible suggestions that I can check into would help!!
-
The studios throw projects at directors like him that they KNOW they don't give a shit about. They'll make a few million bucks, sure, but they're destined to be filler - plugging into a pay channel's 3:00am time slot somewhere. So it's best not to expect too much.
-
No but yeah that comment really didn't make much sense. I've been reading shit about Kevin Smith all morning, I don't know. My job is really boring right now, and seeing a dumb Death Race movie is something I would much rather be doing.
-
He makes me laugh, and I admire his drive and determination.
-
That's the name of my insurance carrier.
-
Uhm... okay. Good luck with that. Just lay off grandma's cough syrup for a while, buddy.
-
wasn't that starring Paul Newman and Linda Fiorentino?
-
The W stands for Ewe Boll.
-
That could "Slithis" or "Humaniods from the Deep". And yes "Death Ship" was a boat used by the nazi to kill jews at sea, so it was haunted. Why they took them out to sea, I'll never know.
-
Like with all of his previous movies. Why does he keep getting work?, you suckers pay to watch his movies.
-
HAHAHA! Worries Sheep!
-
Did the humanoid shape possibly have glowing eyes and was it of a distinctly female persuasion?
-
I think that was a made for tv movie called "The Intruder Within" that took place on an oil rig. It came out in 1981 and starred the legendary Chad fucking Everett. Look it up at imdb.com....
-
whatever happened to MAD MAX 4?
-
But then I like guns, cars, the future and fun! Unlike you bunch lying bastards who sit here and pretend to hate shit like transformers and death race. When really you fucking LOVE all the goodness thats in a 90minute popcorn flick thats designed to have the same depth as your latest english assignment.

Well, good news is, it can't be worse than SPEED RACER.
by motoko kusanagi
That movie, my friends, sucked royal monkey dick.
-
What? Wait.. ah shit.
Fucking stupid dictionary. -
Both the photo and the video are very Car Wars. I wonder if this movie will be good for the old Steve Jackson game.
-
Yes, he's pretty awful, although I love Event Horizon (despite the cenobite ending), and AvP:R actually made AvP almost enjoyable. However, I will watch Jason Statham in anything. Yes, even Revolver and The One. Something about the way he brings the fullest intensity to every role no matter how stupid or ludicrous the film commands my respect.
-
I mean, c'mon......somebody thinks they can do a remake of a beloved pile of silliness like "Plan 9", but they all allow that masterpiece, that ne' plus ultra of Craposcope drive-in-reject used Kitty Litter that is "Humanoids" to languish in obscurity?
For shame, you hacks of the world. And you wonder why we don't respect you. It's not enough that you all happily slurp up whatever emesis basin of Grade-Z poo-tah that some Pakistani-owned shell studio offers up as a tax dodge. No, you don't even have the integrity to refuse their offerings as "Sorry - Not Shitty Enough. Where's HUMANOIDS?!"
You have all forgotten the happy, warm feeling of wallowing in the primordial ooze with us, your true benefactors. You have attempted too merely escape your roots, instead of embracing them, treasuring them, scratching your asscracks with them; You have all become the biggest snobs attending a looting spree on the site of a tornado-struck Shopco.
Come. Admit it. You are happiest, most at one with your karma when you are thrashing around here in the muck with us, your true peers. You are One of Us, and so shall it ever remain. Fuck all that high-falutin' striving and social status elevation, open wide and DRINK DOWN THE SPUME! You Will Understand Afterwards. -
The spunk-bubble is hyphenated so it still counts

in a BBC Radio interview earlier this week. He said that the remake had stripped away all the humour and social commentary that had been at the heart of the original, and that all that was left was the violence. The interviewer asked Corman if he thought this was because audiences are less sophisticated now than they were in th 70s. He replied that films are merely a reflection of the times they are made in.... Pretty depressing really.
-
"Revolver" owns both "Snatch" and "Lock, Stock...". What baffles me is how the guy who directed "Event Horizon", with its gothic atmosphere and Francis Bacon visuals, went on to direct "AVP", the turd burger of all time. As for all things Statham, I say, "Crank 2", bring it on! Also, I hope Guy Ritchie casts the dude as Sgt. Rock.
-
Sea Monsters humping away=box office gold
-
I bet he does :)
-
sheesh. It has been derided for a reason. I hope Mrs Madonna never works again.
-
Awful. AVP:R- AWFULLER. That's the only way I can think of them
-
...Revolver is truly diabolically bad.
-
The Intruder Within looks like a likely candidate! Now I can rest my brain.
-
If it wasn't directed by this guy, Event Horizon was the only watchable movie he made, probably because he didn't write it. What is it with this trend of remaking movies that could be good in the hands of a good director and instead giving it to a second or third rate director? Hollywood is so fucked in the head these days it's sickening.
-
makes me want to watch Shakespeare in Love again.
-
With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.
I can stand hate, but hate with no relavent content is what bugs me, maybe I should have clarified that. Nice to see that we agree on something though!! -
"Event Horizon was the only watchable movie he made, probably because he didn't write it".
So W S =Weak Script? -
..not giving a shit. Just in case anyones looking for me.
-
Good one!!!! Sadly it is true, for me Event Horizon showed he is a sort of somewhat competent director, as long as he isn't directing his own scripted dribble. It kind of reminds me of Spike Lee, I never really cared for the stuff he wrote and directed, but Inside Man was a cool movie, and all he did was direct it, I wish he would stick to that.
-
and that is why most see the dawn of the dead remake as being superior to the original...the world is populated by retards...
-
Is this remake fever related to the writers' strike?
-
...I wanna go buy a battery and some windshield wipers... preferably from Callahan Auto Parts!
-
An old pc game where the rules are simple. You win by passing every checkpoint in order. Destroying every opponent on the track. Or killing each and every pedestrian on the map. Genius...sheer genius.One of my favorite parts in the 1st game is a football field loaded with players; you careen and slide all over the field as the players scream and run in terror. Then you run them over...some one by one...some in groups.Ironically, even feeling the comical urge to run over people on purpose (ok not *everybody*...mostly in-line skaters and poodle walkers), I don't do it because the game showed me how people scream really loud when being run over (which could cause tinnitus) or spewing blood and gristle all over your car (that shit eats right thru the paint if you don't wash it off immediately and who's got stacks of quarters for those shitty car wash places?).
-
Statham's next four movies are either remakes or sequels: "Death Race," "Crank 2," "The Brazilian Job," and "Transporter 3." His agent needs to hook him up with some original scripts - maybe something without a CAR...
-
Death Race 2000 had the hot chick from Battlestar Galactica in full frontal nudity!!! I miss the 70's.
-
But he's only as good as the movie he's in. You put him in some sleazy, cheesy action fest, he's the man (CRANK, TRANSPORTER I and II). You put him in some Cockney knees-up gangster bollocks, he's reasonably entertaining (SNATCH, LOCK, STOCK...). You put him in a big fat steaming pile of post-anal-sex-diarrhoea (THE ONE), well you stand well back. And as DocPazuzu said earlier, at least he commits to a role. He's no Brando, but he can do stubbly intensity in the face of physics-troubling-chopsocky. And folks, that all I want from the lad. One day, Vern will write a book...
-
...or just dumb as fuck. Discuss. I'm going with dumb as fuck, I mean has the guy ever written anything that was a) useful, b) informative, c) wasn't stolen wholesale from another site, or d) wasn't full of horrible spelling and formatting errors? I mean I'm pretty lenient and laid back, but Merrick makes Harry look like Moriarty by comparison for Christ sakes...
-
Oh man ... I read that title wrong and got weirdly excited for a minute.... I thought, "Paul Thomas Anderson is doing a Death Race movie? Sign me up!" But alas, it's the other Paul Anderson....Oh well, at least Harry will like it and tell us all how really good is bad and up is down and whatever he has to say to make movies like Van Helsing sound not completely awful...

Anderson: the man that nerds with no lives love to hate
by superunknown85
You know it's true.
Audiences generally like his movies, that's why they make money, it's just that the hardcore video game nerds are most vocal with their (dumb) opinions.
I don't care if his Resident Evil movie didn't follow the game's plot exactly. Video games and movies are two different forms of entertainment.
Seriously, anyone who compares Anderson to someone like Uwe Boll it delusional. Anderson may not be Kubrick, but he's great with cinematography, visual effects, and production design.
BTW, I admit that AvP was poor, but that's mainly Fox's fault for giving him a crap budget, forcing him to set the film on Earth, and editing the film to hell.
AvP was miles better than Avp Requiem. THAT is truly one of the worst films of the past few decades, and it makes Anderson's work look like Ridley Scott. -
Or is that the "prize" ? Several Dozen Barrels of Oil ?
There's no reason why there couldn't be a fairly enjoyable albiet silly Mad Max/Death Race remake. Question is though is THIS it ? I have my doubts personally as it needs some really jaw dropping car stunts and action sequences to pull it up from it's no doubt laughable "plot". -
I haven't seen the original in probably 10 years but I don't seem to recall the cars fighting each other. I seem to remember where they were neck and neck and one car went one way and the other went the other way to get more points but I don't recall the goal being to shoot at the other drivers, what kind of shit...
-
Don't make this suck, make it ultra-violent and insane. Robert Rodriguez would be a better choice for director.
-
yes!
-
Only most people missed it. It was called SPEED RACER. Perhaps you heard of it? It was a pop-art explosion of awesome and most of you missed it. Too bad. Oh well. You'll get to see it on dvd/blu-ray and kick yourselves in the head for missing it in IMAX which was simply stunning. Turned out Indy IV really sucked though, didn't it? But you paid for it anyway. Oh well. Too bad.
-
the old "only idiots can like his movies" argument, the sure sign of someone with nothing to say other than, "OMG he liek totally sucks just becuzz!!"
No one expects Anderson to make Oscar-winning films. He makes fun, flashy action films with an interesting visual style, which is more than what most Hollywood directors have today.
I'd rather watch Resident Evil than have to sit through trite, overhyped, bloated garbage like Live Free or Die Hard, the Pirates movies, or the Spiderman movies that Hollywood shoves down our throats. Or uber-garbage like Grindhouse.
I enjoy Anderson's movies as fun escapist entertainment. My apologies if I don't spend all my time hating on a director who's become the bane of basement-dwellers everywhere. -
Thank you for throwing your credibility out the window at the start of your post.
Mindless garbage for the past 10 years?
Like: Gladiator, There Will Be Blood, Eternal Sunshine, Saving Private Ryan, American Psycho, Memento, Kingdom of Heaven, The Matrix, Syriana, No Country For Old Men, Zodiac, Gangs of New York, Signs, Into the Wild, Letters from Iwo Jima, Munich, Traffic, O Brother Where Art Thou, Mystic River, Cast Away, Million Dollar Baby, Collateral, Road to Perdition, and Fight Club?
Those stupid mindless movies?
But look who I'm arguing with: someone who calls him Paul "Watery Stool" Anderson. Wow, what an intellectual giant you must be. Clearly you're of a higher caliber than Anderson or his stupid zombie fans could ever be.
Are you aware that a screening of Death Race actually got largely favorable reviews from the people who saw it? Probably not.
But please, continue on acting like a moron, it's great fun to watch. -
Jason's still got it - anyone in any doubt about that, do yourself a favour, check out THE BANK JOB.
As for this remake, the first thing came to my mind when I saw that car was Damnation Alley. George Peppard. Jan-Michael Vincent. Mutants. 12-wheel-drive vehicles. How can you go wrong?? Actually, Paul are you reading this? You need to get some mutants and Jan-Michael Vincent in this! -

Flames on Optimus = Termie-ater in John Connor
by stereotypical evil archer
-
He's either philbrick or a cretin. One reason why Anderson is a complete hack cunt- Amnesia as a plot device. Only hack fools use this. Especially when they have a good storyline already fucking given to them on a silver fucking platter.
-
Yeah, the amnesia thing is really the poor man's last resort. It belongs in soap operas. The only good example of amnesia as a plot device in recent years was in the Bourne franchise.
-
I was going to say The Truman Show. But really it should be avoided.
-
Mad Max's interceptor owns them both.
-
Nuthin' touches the original DR2k and this is like a side story in Mad Max's world.

That car looks like it should be in the MEGAFORCE remake
by stuntcock mike
-
for racing movies. Speed Racer, now this. What's next, Nicholas Cage in Cannonball Run?
-
I guess you haven't taken your meds today. Actually, my all-time favorite movies are Bridge on the River Kwai, Alien, Sonatine, Ran, Blade Runner, Heat, and From Russia With Love, but thanks for asking.
If the trailers for Death Race look good, I'll see it in August, and when I do, I'll think of you. Because, you know, I take any user who calls himself Pondscum seriously. -
I mean, completely ignore the biting satire and uber cool pimped out muscle cars of Bartel's classic, and the iconic gimpness of Frankestein (the very elements that made it so much fun IMO, inspite of it's miniscule budget) and don't even bother to take some ques from the Kev O Neil Dark Horse Death Race 2020. No, just let Anderson dole out some half assed prison demo-derby with what looks like a bunch of generic motors with some boxy metal retro-fittings and a couple of 50 cals mounted on 'em (wanky uninspired production design) oh and rape Mad Max 2 for a reference to the blockade rig to proove what a geek you are(nt). Dull, third rate, straight to Home Video schlock and a criminal waste of such a cool property. I hope this fucker tanks so that the only film Anderson ever gets his hands on, is at Photomax. Spleen vented, Amen.
-
Paul "Worm Shit" Anderson has the same talent(or lack there of) as his twin bro Uwe Boll. This won't work.
-
...in a I-want-to-claw-my-eyes-out-afterwards kind of way.
-
Soldier could've been terrific if not butchered by the studio. Mortal Kombat is ok, one of the best video game adaptations (it doesn't mean that much, but still...) and a good throwback to 80's cheese. Haven't seen his first feature, Shopping.
But Resident Evil or AVP are abysmal enough to have his nerd card revolved and his Hack Pack membership confirmed. I agree with that. -
Anderson is probably trying to rip-off Doomsday
-
Shopping. Despite having Jude Law in it.
-
or is it Paul THOMAS Anderson? (/joking)
This guy needs to stay the FUCK away from great video games, and write original content again.
