The Poster For Anderson's DEATH RACE Revisitation Is Now Online, And Looks Kinda Familiar!!
Merrick here...
ShockTillYouDrop has the poster premiere of the poster for Paul W.S. Anderson's DEATH RACE - a "reimagining" of director Paul Bartel's 1975 film.
Here's a small sampling of the new poster (link to larger version below):
Interestingly, this evokes the super-cool, Stallone-centric Japanese (?) poster for DEATH RACE 2000. I believe this particular poster was issued in 1976.
See the full-sized, mighty embiggenable version of the new poster...

I like it...
-
I didn't know he was in the movie.
-
not bad
-
I'm in!!!
-
needs to stick to doing Guy Ritchie films. That's the only thing he's good in.
-
The worst thing is I'm still gonna watch it the moment it gets on TV.
-
...he's about to cry. Fucking baby.
-
Wow - looks like someone needs to catch up on some Pacific Palisades mortgage payments.
-
Try and say that to his face.
-
I did. He's sitting right next to me. Say something Sly.
"Hey yo Knuckleduster how ya doi'n?"
See? -
but in the same way that all montage cinema posters look the same. you could also say it looks like the star wars and lord of the rings posters...
-
poster: http://tinyurl.com/6zekw2, and not just 'cause they both have Statham's mug.
-
and if it wasn't for the cryptic headline I wouldn't have clicked to any Paul "The Other one" Anderson-related shit. Thank you AICN for the cryptic headline.
-
Thank you. I don't usually laugh out loud, but you're on today.
-
i wish i knew why joan allen did this movie. or, why john toturo did transformers.
is it a ploy to stay relevant after a career slump?
is it $$$?
greasing the hollywood wheels for a better project down the line? (you scratch hollywood's back, they'll scratch yours?)
it can't be bold characters and undeniable scripts... -
stay home and play Twisted Metal.
-
Does anyone else think Statham looks like he farted and is trying to pretend that it wasn't him?? "What are you looking at me for - I didn't fart, it was Joan Allen..." also the Japanese poster is wicked!!
-
as it looks almost exactly like the one sheet for Statham's last box office bomb, Boll's IN THE NAME OF THE KING( which pains me to even mention, as I spent two months of my life marketing materials for that horseshit for naught).
-
It's just odd that's all.
-
That what happens when Mongo no have coffee before posting in morning.
-
More color. More interesting. The new version features mostly black / grey-tone vehicles on a mottled sand colored print. Which cars would YOU want to be killed by? I go with the originals.
-
Road Warrior.
-
sugoi-o, ne?
-
As fellow talkbackers have stated, looks just like this poster. Hilarious film, btw, I highly recommended it with a few rounds of beer.
-
She's somehow more appealing than Joan Allen. No offence to Joan, of course.
-
If you want to se real plagurism of posters look at Higaldo versus LOTR the two towers...
-
Hate remakes... Love McShane. Hate "reimagining" for the sake of dumbass ADD kids who can't judge an old movie because it might have out-of-style hairstyles in it... Love Al Swearingin. Hate that this may be a watered down R rating... Love to see Ian do a Deadwood-worthy cussing fest on the big screen. CAN'T YOU SEE MY DILEMMA???
-
Makes you wonder, how does a oscar worthy multitalent like cocksucker Swearengen end up in crapfests like this and the dark is rising?
-
...to see a crazy Japanese flick from the 70's called DEATH RACE with lots of nudity and starring a dubbed Sylvester Stallone. Um, female nudity that is...not the Italian Stallion...
-
... and do those Deadwood movies we were promised!
-
You asked how someone like me ends up in a film like this. Well, when your whores ain't exactly turnin' their snatches into gold mines and you've got that cocksucker Hearst making a play for all that fuckin' belongs to you...well, sometimes a man has got to grab ankle if'n he wants to keep a dollar in his fuckin' pocket.
-
Number 1: It upsets me to see Ian McShane and Joan Allen were tricked into being in this.
Number 2: Why the fuck does Anderson keep getting to make movies? How is this happening? His success is offensive to me. His resume is filled with a laundry list of shitty movies that failed on a conceptual and a directorial level. FUCK YOU ANDERSON. -
Is a surprise? Just because you did something good on HBO doesn't make you some huge star thats going to get great offers left and right. Peter Krause back to TV, Sarah Jessica Parker only does stuff releated to Sex and The City, James Gandolfini not really doing much, Louis CK still not famous, Nick Stahl still has the same career as before, Clancy Brown ditto, Timothy Olyphant is probably getting mad about getting asked questions about Transformers, Molly Parker back on TV, the list goes on. Fucking Ian McShane was in Hot Rod. I'm just glad people noticed that his voice makes for a good bad guy voice (Polar..Coke..I mean Golden Compass and Fat Panda). Too bad Keith David never got such luck.
-
the original look like a multi-million dollar epic (brilliant marketing for a movie that looked like it cost 37.86). Pretty generic poster for the remake.Will the front-end-explosive-flipover be the new automotive stunt cliche nowadays. Have seen it in Dark Knight, this,..and many others I'm sure.
-
realize the original was satire?
-
If by familiar you mean they both have cars and faces on them then yeah, it looks familiar but I'm not sure what else you were expecting them to do.
-
End of summer fun.
-
for Speed Racer?? That's gotta be nuts.
-
I never said it was a surprise, I just said it upset me...
-
"Timothy Olyphant is probably getting mad about getting asked questions about Transformers"
For years i thought that was him in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. -
I'm glad so many people like the Japanese poster better. The new one looks totally bland, all CGI nonsense, but the Japanese one looks kick-ass. However, I wouldn't say Stallone looks like he's about to cry. To me it looks more like a DeNiro "Yes you do" face. You know the one I mean.
-
What could have been!
-
Besides the fact that he's not the bad guy it seems? Personally I thought Hot Rod was pretty damn funny, and he was funny in it.
-
The lady that Played Matilda the Hun committed suicide. Hope the same doesn't happen to Joan Allen
-
And so does this poster. Ugh, remakes/re-imagineerings.
Just watch the original on TCM tomorrow night @2am to see how it's REALLY done son! -
In my opinion. Looks alot like he who's name dare not be mentioned In The Name Of The King as other have said.
-
he has Bell's Palsy.
-
Looks painful. There are all kinds of things we don't need here. 1) the wasting of a good cast. 2) the employing of the "other Paul Anderson." and 3) a fucking remake of a perfectly fucking good fucking movie.
-
..but to me, it's just one big baked potato.
-
Saw the original last week thanks to NetFlix, awesome movie, highly recommended! That's probably why this "re-imagining" is truly scaring me. F Anderson and his track record.
-
...but more like Slow Racer. Or Mentally-Challenged Racer. Or Short Bus Racer. Or Ding Fries Are Done Racer. (Sorry... it's those darn droopy eyes of his!)
-
Like when I look the bowl after taking a shit.
-
Oh, wait...sorry...
-
I'm a lucky man. I saw the original last month in Chicago on the big screen at The Music Box Theatre's Sci-Fi Spectacular. Followed by Mary Woronov talking about her career in exploitation films. YEAH!
Anybody close to Chicago, check out the spring SFS and the Halloween Massacre. Cool beans! -
it has cars on the bottom half. Vibe wise it's more reminiscent of this http://tinyurl.com/4u6azo or maybe this http://tinyurl.com/4sc4ko well not quite that bad. I dig the swooshing lines.

* Yawn * It looks like the sucked out all the fun out the first
by tallscott
Well one thing is for sure you wont be getting my hard earned cash for this one. They totaly sucked out all of the fun and " we are not taking this too serious " greatness out of the first one and giving us shit.
Someone needs to remind Hollywood that movies are supposed to be fun. Seems like Pixar are the only ones who know this. -
...very likely a complete and utter coincidence. I mean really---a modern day Hollywood action movie one sheet with a bunch of floating heads atop cars rushing toward you? It doesn't take a devoted fan to come up with that unoriginal shit.
-
Cuz its PTA people. Shoulda stuck to porn where he belongs.....
-
ive decided to stop watching movies that feature floaty-head collages for posters. it's just insulting and not worth the effort at this point.
-
the IRON MAN floating heads poster, with postapocalypic cars added to it and IRON MAN removed and replaced with The Transporter.
-
I mean, seriously...
-
I really miss the days when posters were more creative and artistic -- this whole "big floating heads" motif has just gotten to be so fucking tiring. Does ANYONE working in graphic design in Hollywood have ANY creativity left?For that matter, why the hell did this even need a big floating heads type poster? What, is someone passing through the mall and seeing it REALLY jumping up and down and saying "Oh my gosh! The new Jason Statham movie!" (or for that matter reacting to anyone else in this?) When you come down to it, the only ones who really would be reacting strongly WOULD be die-hard Jason Statham or action movie fans, and they would be seeing this ANYWAY.Just seems to me that this was a case where you could have opened up the marketing a bit more and done some cool visual with the cars racing around or exploding or whatever and in the end had a much more bad ass poster that might have gotten other people excited, or at least a bit curious. Which last I checked was the whole freakin' POINT to having a great graphic poster!

Shitty poster for a shitty movie but Series 7 you made me laugh
by spectrebeeyatch
out loud: "Timothy Olyphant is probably getting mad about getting asked questions about Transformers" just cracked me up. I think someone asked me that once when I talked about Live free or Die Hard. And someone went "Yeah he was in Transformers right?" frankly I don't know who that guy is but he can't act that is for sure. But anyway thanks Series7 for the laugh.
-
What's with all these posters with big dumb faces of the stars on it, give me a poster like Platoon or anything that has had some thought or a miligram of originality, even something simple like Layer Cake but no instead we get Meet Dave just a bigass picturee of the unfunny Eddie Murphy face we've now grown to hate.
