In further Paul W.S. Anderson news, his remake of the extremely enjoyable 1975 Death Race 2000 - apologies, that should now be Death Race 3000, or more likely just Death Race - is back on after being scrapped some time ago.
In some severely uninspired casting, Jason Statham (evidently the go-to guy for any car-related actiony flick at this point) will have the lead role as Frankenstein; latest word has Djimon Hounsou as Machine Gun Joe, Laurence Fishburne as the coach, and Glenn Close as the warden.
Obligatory sequel mention: Pirates 3 opens today. Is it too long to break the opening record? Is it nonsensical enough to drop 40% next week? Everyone is already talking about Depp wanting to do more, so let's not bother.
William Friedkin's Bug, opening today, is not a remake of the 1975 creepy-crawlers feature written and produced by William Castle.
