Death Race Remake Sequel Doesnt Try Very Hard

From SpoilerTV comes word that they are not trying at all with the sequel to the remake of Death Race. I thought the remake was pretty fun and a sequel had a bit of promise. Its a shame they are going to do what studios love to do and just remake the same movie with a different cast. The synopsis is reportedly;

Newly arrived at Terminal Island, a prison for the most nonredeemable of convicts, CARL “LUKE” LUCAS must prove his mettle in a race to the death…

Thanks for trying Hollywood! Couldnt come up with any other imaginative cash in on the remake? Seriously... did you even try? So much for the rumors this one would be a prequel.

Anderson’s 2008 action remake DEATH RACE was in the works.  At that time, all that was known was that a screenwriter, Tony Giglio, had been set to the task, and the film would follow the origins of Frankenstein and those of the Death Race itself.  Now, thanks to Shock Till You Drop, comes word that not only has Universal given the film the green light, it plans to shoot it next year with a possible DVD release to follow.

Death Race 2 details

If you enjoyed the superficial car carnage of Paul WS Anderson's DEATH RACE remake but missed the pedestrian slaughter and social satire of the original Corman classic, it doesn't sound like you'll get it in the direct-to-video follow-up either.
