A reboot of the cult classic Death Race 2000, the Universal 1440 Entertainment original production straps viewers into the driver's seat of the ultimate auto showdown, a blood-splattered no-holds-barred virtual-reality show that gleefully pits hardened road warriors against each other — and their audience.
Legendary filmmaking icon, Roger Corman, is back with his most outrageous film yet in this sensational, action-packed and darkly humorous reboot of the original Death Race 2000! It's the year 2050 and America is controlled by an all-powerful corporate government ruled by The Chairman (Malcolm McDowell). The masses have been brainwashed with violent virtual-reality entertainment. The event of the year is the Death Race, in which a motley crew of violent drivers compete in a cross-country road race, scoring points for shamelessly running people over and driving each other off the road. The reigning champion and fan favorite, Frankenstein (Manu Bennett), who's half-man half-machine, wants to take the crown, but his rebel spy co-pilot threatens his legacy.
Produced by Roger Corman, the king of cult classics, Roger Corman's Death Race 2050 stars Manu Bennett (The Hobbit) as Frankenstein and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) as the Chairman. The cast also features Burt Grinstead ("NCIS"), Marci Miller (Viper), Folake Olowofoyeku (The Beaver), Anessa Ramsey (Footloose), Yancy Butler (Hard Target) and Charlie Farrell (Cantar).
The film is directed by G.J. Echternkamp from a script by Matt Yamashita (Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda) and G.J. Echternkamp, and produced by Roger Corman (Death Race 2000) and Luis Llosa (Anaconda).

Da sind wir wohl verschiedener Meinung. :icon_lol:
Den lass ich sicher aus - obgleich mir klar ist, dass der Stil eigentlich ja gut zum Trash-Original passt...

Eigentlich das Übliche, was mit modernen CGI so möglich ist, aber Corman ist wohl nicht mehr wirklich relevant zu nennen.
Den Rausch der Geschwindigkeit wird der Film wohl nicht vermitteln können, dafür sieht das alles zu eckig aus.
Wird aber bestimmt öfter gesaugt, als die typischen Retortenprodukte von RCs Firma...
