Becoming the second remake news tonight, model turned actress Natalie Martinez is set to star in DEATH RACE, the remake to the Roger Corman classic. She'll be playing a romantic interest for Jason Statham's Frankenstein. Her role is named "Case", a character who is assigned to help navigate Frankenstein in the race eventually trying to help him escape prison. She joins fellow cast members Joan Allen (the Warden), Ian McShane (the Coach) and Tyrese Gibson (Machine Gun Joe).

Plot Summary: Story centers on a future America in which prison inmates are forced to brutally compete in an enclosed arena. Statham is starring as a prisoner who, with only weeks to go before his release, is coerced into being a driver in a road rally to the death and becomes a crowd favorite called Frankenstein.

DEATH RACE begins filming this month in Montreal.

Yep. She's smokin'.
I hope they don't pull any punches with this remake. I think Statham is freakin' awesome and would like to see him move up the 'action hero' ladder.
Bring on the blood n' guts that is DeathRace!

Another car chase movie for Statham...big shock. Burt Reynolds should cameo as a grizzled old drunken "Bandit," and David Hasselhof should cameo as a broken down Michael Knight. That would be funny.

She's got all the required assets necessary for a B-movie remake. One will hardly miss the presence of a plot in the presence of that rack. Booyah!

So we've reached the point where old B-movies are being remade iinto modern "A-movies"? I guess that speaks to the quality of older films...that a B-movie idea/concept from yesteryear is good enough for modern audiences. COol I can expect the Manos or Killer CLowns remakes with some bigshot movie star several years from now...
Oh..and yes she looks hot, but is that what drives you to a theater?

wess -

Don't forget the ghost of Mr. McQueen! Maybe he should say something like.. "Use the force, Franky"

Sorry, scratch that... sacrilege! =)

Only one way for this film to work. It must be brutal and it must be unpolitically correct. Something that they will never do. That was left in the 70's.
