Death Race (film)
Death Race is a 2008 action thriller film co-produced, written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson.
It stars 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's short story" The Racer") in reviews and marketing materials, director Paul W. S. Anderson stated in the DVD commentary that he thought of the film as something of a prequel.
A remake had been in development since 2002, though production was delayed by disapproval of early screenplays, then placed in turnaround following a dispute between Paramount Pictures and the producer duo Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner( the latter was the producer without Cruise in the film).
" Death Race" was acquired by Universal Studios, and Anderson re-joined the project to write and direct.
