the death race


Death Race is an action film written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The film is remake of the 1975 film Death Race 2000, based on Ib Melcior's short story "The Racer", and stars Jason Statham in the lead role. The remake had been in development since 2002, though production was delayed by disapproval of early screenplays then placed in turnaround following a dispute between Pramount Picture and the producer duo Tom Cruise and Paul Wagner. Death Race was acquired by Universal Studios, and Anderson re-joined the project to write and direct. Filming began in Montreal in August 2007, and the completed project was released on August 22, 2008.
