S. Anderson]] and starring [[Jason Statham]], [[Tyrese Gibson]], [[Ian McShane]], and [[Joan Allen]]. Though referred to as a remake of the 1975 film ''[[Death Race 2000]]'' (based on [[Ib Melchior|Ib Melchior's]] short story "The Racer") in reviews and marketing materials, director Paul W.S. Anderson stated in an interview<ref name="set visit"> </ref>and the DVD commentary that he thought of the film as a prequel. A remake had been in development since 2002, though production was delayed by disapproval of early [[screenplay]]s then placed in [[Turnaround (filmmaking)|turnaround]] following a dispute between [[Paramount Pictures]] and the producer duo [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Paula 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. A direct-to-DVD prequel to the film, ''[[Death Race 2]]'', was released on October 31, 2010. ==Plot== {{Plot|date=January 2011}} In 2012, the United States economy collapses. Unemployment and crime rates shoot through the roof. The imprisoned population becomes so vast that [[private prison|private corporations buy the prisons and run them for profit]]. In a federal prison called the Terminal Island [[Prison|Penitentiary]], "Death Race", a gladiator-like fight-to-the-end racing competition is held to raise funds. It becomes the most-watched television/Internet event around the world. The film begins by showing a race near its end. Machine Gun Joe ([[Tyrese Gibson]]) and a famous masked driver known as Frankenstein (original ''Death Race 2000'' star [[David Carradine]]) engage in a bloody battle in which Frankenstein wins, but at the cost of heavy injuries and eventually death. Six months later, Jensen Ames ([[Jason Statham]]), an ex-racecar driver and former steel mill worker, is framed for his wife's murder. Ames is sent to Terminal Island where he immediately becomes enemies with an Aryan brotherhood gang, led by Pachenko ([[Max Ryan (actor)|Max Ryan]]). He is taken to Hennessey ([[Joan Allen]]), the penitentiary's warden, who tells him that the gang will kill him without her help. Thus he is coerced by the warden to become the new driver of the late Frankenstein's car. The warden tells Ames that she knows about his baby daughter left in foster care. She also states that prisoners are freed upon winning five Death Races, but since the legendary Frankenstein had 4 wins at the time of his death, he would only require a single win. He agrees to race. Hennessey then takes Ames down to the auto shop to meet [[pit crew|crew chief]] Coach ([[Ian McShane]]) and his assistants Gunner ([[Jacob Vargas]]), a car repairman, and Lists ([[Frederick Koehler]]), a data collector. "Death Race" consists of three different stages. The first two stages are elimination rounds with the sole goal being to come out alive and to eliminate as much of the competition as possible. In each race, there are three activation switches, Swords, Shields, and Death Heads. These power-ups are in the form of lights on the ground that are activated when passed over by a car. Swords activate offensive weapons, shields activate defensive weapons, and death heads activate a spiked wall that impales the car and the racers inside. The wall then goes back into the ground, killing anyone inside. Before the race, Ames is introduced to Case ([[Natalie Martinez]]), his new female navigator. In the first race, Grimm is killed by Joe by being struck as a "pedestrian", resulting in a gruesome "head-exploding" shot. Jensen survives the race, killing one racer but coming in last place after Machine Gun Joe rammed into his car. It is then revealed that both Hennessey and her right-hand man, Guard Captain Ulrich ([[Jason Clarke (actor)|Jason Clarke]]), had Pachenko murder Jensen's wife and frame him for it, in order to bring him to Terminal Island and make him the new Frankenstein. During the second race, the goal is again to survive. At the green signal, all but Ames race. He forces Case to come clean with the truth: Case sabotaged his rear weapons before the first race in exchange for a full pardon, claiming that she didn't mean to kill him, but he simply would not give up. She also states that Hennessey is plotting against Frankenstein, hoping to use his popularity to keep ratings up. A furious Ames then chases down and kills Pachenko, leaving his own vehicle and going out onto the track and executes him with his bare hands. Later in the event, much to the dismay of the racers, a gigantic [[18 wheeler|18 wheel]] [[semi-truck|tanker]] armed with a tank turret, called the Dreadnaught, is released. After killing multiple racers, the truck is destroyed when Joe and Ames team up to activate a Death Head that destroys the Dreadnaught. Hennessey is furious while Frankenstein is hailed a hero. In the third stage, Joe and Ames must race one final time to the winner. Prior to the race Hennessey has a bomb planted under Frankenstein's car, and then manipulates the race to favor Joe. However, her plans are ruined when Joe and Ames escape, blowing an opening in a weakened section of the prison wall which Jensen had discovered while studying footage of Grimm's death. Hennessey sends all her police force in pursuit, and when Ames manages to foil the police cars chasing them, Hennessey attempts to blow up his car with the bomb earlier planted. But Ames' crew apparently had discovered the bomb before the race, removed and deactivated it. Furious, Hennessey deploys the prison helicopters and succeeds in capturing Frankenstein's car. However, Ames had escaped from his car, leaving Case (who had already received her walking papers) at the wheel, dressed up in his costume. Joe and Ames hitch a freight train ride and escape to Miami. Meanwhile, Ulrich delivers a present to Hennessey in her office, a congratulatory gift from an unknown sender. Opening it she finds the bomb from the bottom of the Frankenstein's car, as she does Coach activates it and blows up the entire upper office, killing both Hennessey and Ulrich, he then turns to the camera and breaks the [[fourth wall]], saying, "I love this game". Six months later [[Mexico|south of the border]], Ames has his daughter back and Joe is working on living a clean life free of crime. As the two work on a car in their new home, a car pulls up and Case steps out to join the two. Ames then narrates that despite all the problems he had in the past, no one could love his daughter more than he could. ==Cast== * [[Jason Statham]] as Jensen Ames, a prisoner coerced to drive in the arena, taking the name "Frankenstein" from the man who came before him.<ref>{{cite news |title=First Look: ''Death Race'' Battle Scene |url=http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=8785&count=0 |work= Worst Previews |date=May 28, 2008|accessdate=May 30, 2008 }}</ref><ref name="buckle" /> * [[Joan Allen]] as Hennessey, the [[Sadomasochism|sadistic]] [[prison warden]].<ref name="buckle" /> * [[Tyrese Gibson]] as Joseph Mason (aka "Machine Gun Joe"), a sociopathic racer who looks to use Death Race as a means to escape from prison.

Anderson]] revealed that he was directing a remake of ''[[Death Race 2000]]'' (1975) entitled ''Death Race 3000'' at [[Paramount Pictures]] (which owns television and internet rights to the original, with the former currently being handled on Paramount's behalf by [[Trifecta Entertainment & Media]]) based on a script by [[J. F. Lawton]]. The remake would be produced by the producer pair [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Paula Wagner]]. Anderson described the remake as a riff on the first film. "It's not a straight remake at all. The first movie was an across-America race. This will be an around-the-world race. And it's set further in the future, so the cars are even more futuristic. So you've got cars with rockets, machine guns, force fields; cars that can split apart and re-form, a bit like [[Transformers (fiction)|Transformers]]. Cars that become invisible," the director explained.<ref>{{cite news | author=Patrick Lee | url=http://www.scifi.com/sfw/interviews/sfw8235.html | title=Paul W.S.

Two years later, [[Roger Corman]], the producer of ''Death Race 2000'', elaborated that he had an option agreement with producer Tom Cruise, and that Cruise would portray the lead role.

The producer described the remake's new tone: "We've basically taken the idea of reality television and extended it twenty years. So it's definitely a comment on society, and particularly reality television, but it is not as much a parody or a satire as the original. It's more straight."<ref>{{cite news | author=Stax | url=http://movies.ign.com/articles/715/715319p1.html | title=''Castlevania'', ''Death Race'' Buzz | publisher=[[IGN]] | date=June 28, 2006 | accessdate=September 13, 2007 }}</ref> The following August, Paramount [[Tom Cruise#Breakup with Paramount|ended its relationship]] with [[Cruise/Wagner Productions]], and ''Death Race'' was placed in turnaround.
