That being said, we were expecting the first trailer for the Paul W.S. Anderson’s remake to be a steaming pile of crap jettisoned from a major studio. Why? Well, Paul W.S. Anderson frequently disappoints us. Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, the upcoming Castlevania film, all secondary to his destruction of both the Alien and Predator franchises in one film called Alien Vs. Predator. God damn. Luckily for us, it looks like it is impossible to mess up a movie where Warden Joan Allen frames badass Jason Statham to compete in her prison death race where inmates either die or earn their freedom in a multiple-stage race involving cars transported back from the Road Warrior future. Ian McShane and Tyrese Gibson are on as general goons and the cinematography looks like it won’t be nausea-inducing. Maybe it’s Jason Statham that is making this movie look like it might be watchable. After seeing the man make one last phone-call to his ex-girlfriend while falling out of a helicopter (Crank) and plucking a bomb off the bottom of his car by flipping it near a construction hook (Transporter 2), there is very little this guy does that we can label impossible. Even – dare we say it? – winning the Death Race? http://www.thebadandugly.com/2008/06/16/death-race-trailer-expectations-exceeded/
Saw a trailer for this before Wanted over the weekend. I thought it looked pretty cool, slightly cheesy but cool. Reminded me of The Running Man alittle bit.
Looks really good...who cares if it's cheesy? The original was fromage incorporated! And of course...what does the hero of the film drive?
