    New Trailer Shows That Gamer = Crank + Death Race

    The first U.S. trailer for Gerard Butler's Gamer has come out, and it shows a nice mix of rough-and-ready convicts-trapped-in-a-video-game action. It's like Statham's Death Race, only on legs and reimagined by the Crank guys.

    Is Death Race A New Landmark In Gay Film?

    You may think of Death Race as the movie with all the cars that go boom. Or as the film that failed to dent The House Bunny at the box office. But did you know it's also being hailed as a huge step forward for gay rights? Well, sort of. Spoilers ahead. More »

    Death Race Is Car Porn For A Dystopian Internet Age

    Death Race is full of awesome exploding car-fu, but it's in the service of a crash course (sorry) in dystopia for the Internet age. The race in question is a prison game which nobody can ever really win, webcast to millions of viewers who might as well be in prison. In fact, Death Race is a good object lesson in why subtlety is overrated. Even the fact that Jason Statham only has one facial expression helps keep the movie's bleak message alive.

    First Pics Of Harvey Keitel In Life On Mars, Plus What The Spirit's Really About

    Some new photos this morning aren't just spoilery, they're also sort of giddy-making. There's our first look at the new supporting cast of the American Life On Mars, who look a lot like the British version, plus sexy cast photos from Sarah Connor Chronicles, Chuck and Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. Not only that, but we have a scary new plot synopsis of Frank Miller's The Spirit. We learn the shocking secret of Death Race's ending. And there's some surprising news about who's back — and who may not stick around — on Lost. Speaking of which, Knight Rider may have a thrilling double cameo. There are also new hints about Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Fringe, Smallville, The Middleman, and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Spoilers ahead, next 1000 words. More »

    Writer Tries To Put The Brakes On Death Race

    Did Paul W.S. Anderson steal his Death Race idea from another car racing and crashing movie? But more importantly, aren't all car movies since the 90s a little similar, anyway? Writer Adam Stone is filing a lawsuit against the director and producers of Death Race, claiming they stole the idea from a film called Joust, which he pitched to both Anderson and Jeremy Bolt. Stone is even going as far trying to get a court order to stop the film from coming out this Friday. Strange, I don't remember any dueling ostriches in Death Race. Universal has declined comment on the lawsuit. [The Hollywood Reporter]

    Death Race Director Comes Clean About How Many Cameras Were Smashed During Filming

We got a chance to talk to Anderson at a press conference, where he explained the best way to run over a camera with a speeding armored vehicle, the physics behind mounting two Vulcan cannons on the side of a car, and why he excised the original flick's bonus points for running over old people.

    Jason Statham Clearly Needs To Kill Everyone In Death Race

    Framed character Jensen Ames (Jason Statham) got a raw deal when meany-face prison warden Joan Allen framed him for murder just so she could use his racing abilities in her prison car race game, Death Race. The resulting movie includes murder, deadly car races and Joan being evil, but somehow this newly released redband trailer still feels like it's pulling its punches — except for Jason Statham. Time for this bad boy Brit to sit down and teach the cast of Death Race how to kick ass in an R-rated trailer properly, or just kill them all. Especially Tyrese Gibson, for saying "It's party time."

    Watch The Craziest Scenes From Death Race, Chuck, Knight Rider, Heroes And Sarah Connor

    This morning's spoilers are pretty video-intensive. There's an adults-only sneak peek at the killer-car movie Death Race. NBC put out some extra-long promo videos for Chuck, Knight Rider and Heroes, with some scenes you've only heard about so far. A new Sarah Connor trailer shows John Connor doing the one thing you'd never expect him to do. But it's not all clips: there's a pretty weird new detail about the Star Trek movie. And some bizarrely glam new Lost pics have a couple of surprises that could tell us something. There are also new details about Nicholas Cage's Knowing and the Astro Boy movie.

    The World According To Gort

    So we know Gort the big eye-blasty robot will look much like his 1950s version in the new Day The Earth Stood Still film, but how will he act? We have a few hints below. It's just one of the things that our spoiler-phobic culture demands that we hide from public view. We must also cover up our insane wealth of details about Battlestar Galactica — including one shocking revelation about a character who turns up in the last few episodes. We have a taboo against telling you who will show up on Doctor Who in 2009, as well as a great shame about telling you how Jason Statham throws down in Death Race.

    We should try replacing the pejorative phrase "spoiler warning" with something more celebratory — like "spoiler fanfare."

We also celebrate new Clone Wars TV spots that show trainee Jedi Ahsoka being sassy. Plus new hints about Transformers 2, and possibly our first look at Paris Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera. There's another look inside the sets of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, a shocking Lost spoiler that may even be true, and some Smallville, Chuck and Eureka spoilers. Plus a trailer for Hulk Vs. Thor.

    Blasphemy! Death Race 2000 Writer Shames Himself On Stage

    Proving that everyone has a price, classic movie producer Roger Corman made the world's most erroneous statement at the Comic-Con panel for the remake, Death Race. Corman got on stage and said, "Proud as I am of Death Race 2000, Death Race is a bigger and better picture." The crowd was silent...and then there were murmurs of disbelief.

    The official website for Death Race, the quasi-remake of road-rage classic Death Race 2000 starring Jason Statham, just went live. And it includes this glimpse of the metal mask that Statham wears as Frankenstein, the star racer of the prison where he's locked up. Statham wears that mask as he pretends to be the dead superstar, racing against other felons in the super-popular televised race, where the prize is survival.

    A Death Race Cameo And Sin City Sexiness

    Original Frankenstein, David Carradine, will make a cameo in the Death Race, starring Jason Statham. Unless Carradine is running Statham over with his car, I'm sure the cameo will be just a brief little nod to the fans, who won't go and see this bastardized version of the original anyway. In other casting news, Angelina Jolie plays with Frank Miller's heart strings as she casually drops the notion that she's "curious" about playing Ava Lord in Sin City 2, an idea that Miller and crew have been hinting at for years.

    The Awesome Cars of Futuristic Smashing Death

    Here's a first peek at scenes being filmed for the remake of violent death-car-meets-game-show movie Death Race 2000, directed in 1975 by cult filmmaker Paul "Eating Raoul" Bartel. Flamethrower = hell yes. This remake, called simply Death Race, could be the psycho, gritty rejoinder to sparkly flop Speed Racer — though some key plot points have been changed, probably to make it more palatable for people disturbed by rampant child-crushing.

    Death Race Has Flamethrower Carnage, But No Dead Pedestrians

    The new Death Race movie can throw as many weapons-packed cars at us as it wants, but it still won't be half as entertaining now that they've done away with earning points for mowing down pedestrians. This remake of 70s classic Death Race 2000 is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator) so there will be explosions, car flippery, and bad dialogue. But it still won't pack any of the kick of the original. Click through for more details (and to enlarge that flamethrowery image, from Empire Magazine). More »

    Death Race's Postapocalyptic Road Rage Will Be Splattery, Silly

    The first reports from early screenings of September's Death Race have popped up online, and the dystopian race-for-your-life movie sounds just as silly as you'd probably expected. Starring Jason Statham, Death Race is less a remake of 1970s cult classic Death Race 2000 than a movie inspired by it. It features lots of weird video-game touches, and some very over-the-top graphic violence, courtesy of director Paul W.S. Anderson (Event Horizon). Click through for details and spoilers. More »
